Emily Blunt Opens Up About Her Fashion Pet Peeves—and Why John Krasinski's Turtleneck Nearly Didn't Make the Cut

Emily Blunt sat down on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday evening (April 28) to discuss some of her biggest fashion turnoffs—and how her husband John Krasinski's recent red-carpet choice almost triggered one.

The 43-year-old actress, known for her role in The Devil Wears Prada 2, admitted she has a visceral reaction to turtlenecks. When Krasinski first proposed wearing one to the Golden Globes earlier this year, Blunt had to carefully mask her initial hesitation.

"I'll be honest … I have a full organ rejection to turtlenecks usually," she confessed. "When John pitched me this outfit and he was like, 'And it's a turtleneck,' I had to compose my face into, like, impassive, 'Oh, that sounds great,' you know?"

Her reservations quickly dissolved once she saw the full look in person. "But then when I saw [him], I thought he looked like Michael Caine. He looked so cool. '60s vibe. But normally a man in the turtleneck gives me the ick. Sorry to any turtleneck wearers tonight," she explained.

Beyond turtlenecks, Blunt outlined another style misstep that doesn't work for her: the shiny, oversized bomber leather jacket. "I don't mind, like, a James Dean leather jacket, but if we're looking at a dad leather jacket, where it's a little bomber jacket and it's very shiny? A little tight. And cropped," she said of the look she finds less appealing.
