Emily Blunt made a colorful splash on the red carpet at the 2022 Freeing Voices, Changing Lives Gala on Monday. The 39-year-old British actress hosted the annual event, which was held at Guastavino’s in New York.
Blunt commanded attention as she arrived in a vibrant pink and purple dress that had blue and black accents with dramatic 3/4 sleeves. The garment also featured a bow on each side, a band that cinched the waist and a slightly ruffled hemline.
To add more eye-catching elements to her look, the “A Quiet Place” star accessorized with a gold chain necklace and dainty drop earrings. Sticking to a summertime aesthetic, she pulled her blond locs back into a braided ponytail and opted for soft glam with a neutral pout.
When it came down to footwear, Blunt rounded out her look with black sandals. The shoe style featured a wide strap across the toe, around the ankle and sat atop a block heel. Strappy sandals are a popular choice with shorter dresses and other silhouettes that showcase legs. The stylish silhouette is a staple shoe of the warmer months and can be any heel height for versatile wear.
