This week, we’re rolling out the red carpet for a character who never got her flowers—but absolutely should’ve. You know the one. She was sharp. She was stressed. She was snubbed.
Yep—we’re talking about Emily from The Devil Wears Prada. And with the sequel now filming (!!), Emily Blunt is stepping back into stilettos and the spotlight—this time with a rich, radiant red lob that’s stealing every scene.
And here’s the twist: it’s not just the movie getting a reboot.
Her color is trending everywhere.
Warm auburn. Dimensional copper. A deep, elegant glow that catches light and compliments literally every skin tone. It’s high fashion, but wearable. Bold, but soft.
And yes—with ISLA Hair—it’s totally achievable.
🎨 RECREATE EMILY BLUNT’S “PRADA RED” LOOK WITH ISLA HAIR
Here’s how to recreate this it-girl red moment behind the chair:
âś… Choose Your ISLA Shade:
Start with ISLA 6CB, a rich, coppery brunette with just enough depth to feel expensive without overpowering the warmth.
For toning, we recommend Redken Shades EQ 6CB + 6C to enhance vibrancy, add dimension, and keep that copper glowing between appointments.
âś… Pick Your Texture:
• Straight Texture: Perfect for a sleek, cinematic red bob moment—clean, modern, and dramatic.
• Beach Wave Texture: For clients who want movement without sacrificing polish—this adds a soft edge to the bold hue.
• Deep Wave Texture: Want volume with your villain era? Go big, bold, and red with drama in every strand.
âś… Density is Key:
Emily’s hair in this sequel is rich, full, and dimensional. Add 2–3 rows of ISLA for a redhead moment that actually turns heads.
💇‍♀️ STYLING TIPS FOR THE RED LOB THAT WINS THE MOVIE
• Power Layers:
Ask yourself: Would this haircut survive Paris Fashion Week? Add subtle, beveled layers to sculpt the shape and add lift at the crown.
• Gloss it Up:
A red this iconic needs shine. Finish with a gloss or lightweight serum to enhance tone and dimension without dulling it down.
• Channel the Character:
This look is all about confidence. Drama. A little chaos.
And yes—an attitude that says, “I didn’t come here to fetch the Harry Potter book. I came to serve.”
This isn’t just a redhead comeback.
It’s Emily’s revenge arc—and it starts with great hair.
