Emily Blunt hit the red carpet on Tuesday night for The American Institute for Stuttering’s 19th Annual Gala in New York City. The actress spoke onstage during the gala and posed for photos with honorees and award recipients.
For the special occasion, Blunt opted for a design courtesy of Elie Saab‘s pre-fall 2025 ready-to-wear collection. The ensemble drew inspiration from the free-flowing disco era, featuring a bevy of pleats on the bodice and a streamlined skirt.

The ensemble featured a burnt sienna tone that carried through the entire floor-length frock. On one sleeve and half of the bodice of the dress, the design incorporated a bouquet of ruffles with pleated elements, adding juxtaposition, tension and flare to the look.
The “Oppenheimer” Oscar-nominated actress opted to go relatively minimal with her accessories, favoring simple earrings, bracelets and a few shimmering rings. As for her glam, Blunt’s chocolate brown hair was pulled back into a tight chignon, while her makeup included such details as bold brows, lined eyes and a glossy lip. Blunt’s look was curated by stylist Jessica Paster, who also collaborates with Paris Jackson and Quinta Brunson.

Blunt’s Elie Saab ensemble made its debut as part of Paris pre-fall last January. The collection was curated with “slinky shapes and warm tones of crimson, sienna and sunset,” per Rhonda Richford’s WWD review of the collection.
“Saab served as a conductor this season, taking us along for a ride imbued with cues from Art Deco to disco, for a streamlined yet sultry take on eveningwear that stayed true to his signature glamour. The collection was strong on solid colors, such as emerald, and touches of lace and velvet,” Richford wrote.

Blunt previously wore an Elie Saab design for the 2024 BAFTAs. The actress styled a shimmering gown with cutouts at the waist and hips from the label’s spring 2024 couture line. More recently, Paster styled Blunt in a look by Roberto Cavalli for the “Another Simple Favor” New York City premiere in April.
