Emily Blunt’s A Quiet Place press appearances offered a closer look at the polished footwear style that has become a hallmark of her red-carpet wardrobe.

Standing 5’6½” and wearing a US shoe size 7, the British actress has built an impressive archive of designer shoe moments, from Gianvito Rossi and Jimmy Choo heels to Christian Louboutin pumps and Sophia Webster sandals, as detailed in our Emily Blunt height and shoe size guide.

At the New York premieres of A Quiet Place in 2018 and A Quiet Place Part II in 2020, she complemented dramatic Oscar de la Renta and Alexander McQueen designs with standout Gianvito Rossi and Jimmy Choo heels. Away from the spotlight, however, she embraced a more practical formula, relying on minimalist white sneakers that proved versatility can be just as impactful as statement footwear.

Away from the red carpet, however, Blunt often opted for a more practical approach. While promoting A Quiet Place Part II in New York City in March 2020, she repeatedly wore the same pair of white Axel Arigato sneakers with different outfits, proving that minimalist leather trainers can be just as effective as heels in creating a polished celebrity wardrobe.

Two days after attending the film’s New York premiere, Blunt headed to Jimmy Kimmel Live! in an outfit that balanced comfort and statement outerwear.

Like Emily Ratajkowski, Emily Blunt is a fan of Swedish sneaker label Axel Arigato. For her A Quiet Place Part II press tour, she chose the brand’s distinctive bird-embroidered sneakers, whose minimalist silhouette and colorful detailing offered a polished alternative to traditional luxury footwear.
