-->LISTEN UP, FUCKER!!!! I have shot and buried three vagrants in the past year. If you want to know the Christ’s honest truth I’m starting to get a taste for it. So I don’t care what hobo sob story you’ve got, I get a dozen a week and it cuts no cash with me. It’s me and my husband here, we’re broke and angry at our lot in this world and heavily armed. So take some corn and move on, but if you show your face again I will cut you THE FUCK in half!"

* TheDanza: [[invoked]] As Emily Charlton in ''Literature/TheDevilWearsPrada''.

* DyeHard: [[invoked]] She's a brunette, but often plays a blonde. Not to mention her breakout role in ''Literature/TheDevilWearsPrada'' being of a redhead.
* FakeAmerican: [[invoked]] Probably plays this more than her own nationality. Most notably in ''Film/{{Looper}}''. Coincidentally, she became an American citizen in 2015. (Ironically, despite playing "Arizona Emily" when she appeared on ''Series/SesameStreet'' she spoke in her normal voice.) Although the film version of ''Literature/TheGirlOnTheTrain'' moves the setting from England to the US, Blunt averts this trope here.

* IronyAsSheIsCast: She was pregnant with both of her daughters while filming ''Film/IntoTheWoods'' and ''Literature/TheGirlOnTheTrain''. Her characters in both films, the Baker's Wife and Rachel Watson, are infertile.
* RealLife/MeanCharacterNiceActor: [[invoked]] The difference between her character in ''The Devil Wears Prada'' and herself are immense. She is friendly, humble, and is considered by the cast and crew to be a great pleasure to work with. Tellingly enough, she befriends a lot of the people she's worked with.
* OldShame: [[invoked]]
** Starred in a quickly forgotten ABC miniseries, ''Empire'', [[MoneyDearBoy simply for the money]]. She later called it "the sad, little brother of ''Series/{{Rome}}''".
** She doesn't seem too fond of ''Film/GulliversTravels2010'', either, considering Fox forced her to star in it due to a contract she signed when she signed on for ''Literature/TheDevilWearsPrada'', thus missing her chance to star in ''Film/IronMan2'' and, since the character in question was Black Widow, many subsequent Marvel movies.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: [[invoked]]
** Was cast as Black Widow for ''Film/IronMan2'' (which would had her in ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'' and the following Marvel films), but had to pull out due to being contractually obligated by Fox (due to being in ''Literature/TheDevilWearsPrada'', a Fox film) to star in ''Film/GulliversTravels2010'', which was a massive flop.
** Was considered for Peggy Carter in ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'', but declined due to scheduling conflicts.
** In yet another superhero example, the 2014 Sony hack revealed that Drew Goddard wanted her for the Scorpia role in the ''Sinister Six'' movie.

She's been married to Creator/JohnKrasinski since 2010, with whom she had a daughter named Hazel in 2014, and actor Creator/StanleyTucci is her brother-in-law. [[note]]He's married to her sister[[/note]]

* HappilyMarried: To Creator/JohnKrasinski since 2010.

(Ironically, despite playing "Arizona Emily" when she appeared on ''Series/SesameStreet'' she spoke in her normal voice.) Although the film version of ''Literature/TheGirlOnTheTrain'' moves the setting from England to the US, Blunt averts this trope here.
* {{Fanservice}}: Several examples, like ''Charlie Wilson's War'', where she's in a scene in her panties, and ''Film/EdgeOfTomorrow''. Especially when she does that yoga pose in her introductory scene in the latter, particularly since the pose gets repeated several times. That said, she refused to do a topless scene in ''Film/{{Sicario}}''. [[spoiler:Then again, said scene would have involved Benicio del Toro's character forcing her to strip naked and then physically humiliating her by pointing out the scars he gave her, so it would have been FanDisservice.]]
* MeanCharacterNiceActor: The difference between her character in ''The Devil Wears Prada'' and herself are immense. She is friendly, humble, and is considered by the cast and crew to be a great pleasure to work with. Tellingly enough, she befriends a lot of the people she's worked with.

* ToiletHumor: Contrasting her classy British demeanor, ''Film/IntoTheWoods'' co-star Creator/AnnaKendrick describes Emily as "the kind of gal that loves a fart joke".
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Was cast as Black Widow for ''Film/IronMan2'' (and subsequently, ''Film/TheAvengers2012'' and the following Marvel films), but had to pull out due to being contractually obligated by Fox (due to being in ''Literature/TheDevilWearsPrada'', a Fox film) to star in ''Film/GulliversTravels2010'', which was a massive flop.
