At the SAG Awards, Emily Blunt’s sheer slit dress produced the ultimate optical illusion

At the 2023 SAG Awards, Emily Blunt presented a distinctive interpretation on the sheer dress fad while out with John Krasinski. The “A Quiet Place Part II” actress floated down the red carpet in an Oscar de la Renta sheer cut dress while sharing adoring glances with her spouse. Jessica Paster, her stylist, accessorized the look with a cherry-red purse and ruby and silver-toned jewelry.

Red fabric strips were arranged in a horizontal accordion pattern on Blunt’s strappy mermaid gown. Her waist was encircled by thinner strips that grew in size as they dropped to the floor, with each piece being organized by width. Sheer panels between each piece gave the impression of a single ribbon encircling her entire torso.

Hairstylist Laini Reeves posted a funny video of Blunt and Krasinski leaving the hair and cosmetics area on Instagram. Blunt performed a full body spin as she turned to exit, giving the audience a sight of the dress’s knee-high center slit.

Many pink flowers and tiny leaves that appeared to slide down her shoulder, around her waist, and to the floor like a vine were stitched on the designer dress. She completed the look with a red manicure, lipstick that matched, and a snake collar necklace that was set with rubies.
