Emily Blunt’s Cool Berlin Mini Dress Proves Brown Is In For Fall (And I Hope These Thumbholes Are In, Too)

by

Margot Robbie and Jenna Ortega were among the celebrities who brought back the daring ‘naked dress’ look earlier this summer. Now that fall is approaching, fashion is shifting towards warmer, more autumnal styles. Emily Blunt recently stepped out in a playful yet sophisticated brown mini dress with an open back, perfectly showcasing what’s trending for fall. Hopefully, comfy details like thumbholes will also be popular this season!

A subtle new fashion trend is gaining momentum. Zoe Kravitz turned heads at the *Caught Stealing* premiere in a creamy lace slip dress, and Taylor Swift stood out from the crowd at Patrick Mahomes’ birthday in a tan, preppy outfit. However, it was an *Oppenheimer* actor’s bold look – a short, long-sleeved dress with a trailing train – that really solidified the warm color as a must-have. Emily Blunt’s standout moment came at the UK premiere of her new film, *The Smashing Machine*, directed by Ben Safdie – see the photos below!

The monochromatic style job by Blunt’s stylist, Jessica Paster, is impeccable, with the sheer polka dotted tights and strappy heels. And the dynamic David Koma Berlin-style design is the key for it all coming together. The high covered neckline, long sleeves (with those immaculate thumbholes) and sash-like train really highlights the magnificent structure.

I suspect Anne Hathaway chose the thumbhole detail in her outfit as a subtle reference to the mixed martial arts aspect of the film. It’s a clever way to hint at a character’s style without being overly costumey, and it’s a simple look to achieve. Honestly, I’d love to see this trend come back! While I appreciate bold fashion choices, this feels like the perfect balance – it’s as comfortable as wearing a blanket, but much more stylish than a Snuggie.

Okay, seriously, what *really* makes this outfit amazing is the way the skirt is cut – it’s a perfect length, not too long, not too short, and that peek-a-boo back is just stunning! You have to see the back of the dress, though! The way the angles create this cool, open space, and how it all comes together… it’s such a strong, fashionable look for fall. And don’t miss the tiny strap that ties at the back of her neck – it’s such a delicate but important detail!

Now that we can see the entire dress, isn’t it stunning and well-put-together? I’m especially captivated by how the sash design changes from understated in the front to dramatically flared in the back. I really believe this particular shade of brown is the perfect color to complement the dress’s shape and lines.

Emily Blunt is known for her bold fashion choices, and her recent look at the Venice Film Festival was no exception. The unique, structured dress she wore to the premiere of *The Smashing Machine* was a standout moment on the red carpet. Her consistently impressive outfits for the film’s premieres have definitely increased excitement for *The Devil Wears Prada 2*.

I predict the upcoming 2026 movie guide will be just as impressive as Emily Blunt’s stylish brown mini dress. I’m excited to see more of this color in the fall, and I hope we’ll see a lot of outfits with comfortable sleeves!
