Emily Blunt usually brings a certain “Mary Poppins meets Princess Diana” energy to her red-carpet looks, but the black-and-white diamond-pattern crop top outfit that she wore to South by Southwest on March 12 was a totally different vibe. It’s a little bit Harley Quinn. A little bit Brit pop. A lotta bit abs.

On March 12, fresh from the Oscars, Blunt attended the SXSW premiere of her upcoming rom-com with Ryan Gosling, The Fall Guy, in a cropped black-and-white sweater set with large round buttons on the top and structured shoulder pads on the jacket. She wore the set with a pair of baggy, low-rise black pants (very late ’90s), and white sneakers, keeping the whole look low-key. She styled her hair in a slightly teased, slick ponytail and accessorized with dangly gold earrings.
I feel like this is the first time I’ve seen Emily Blunt not look like she’s just returned from getting tea with the queen or hosting a royal ball or something. But as her costar Ryan Gosling told the crowd at the film festival, Blunt contains multitudes. “Emily could create chemistry with a trash can,” he said, per Variety. “She just came she brought that ‘Blunt force’ to the movie.”
