Who Are Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci, and Why Did They Receive Hollywood Walk of Fame Stars on the Same Day?
Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci are two of Hollywood's most enduring screen presences. On April 30, 2026, both actors were celebrated with stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, drawing cheers from fans, family, and colleagues as the longtime collaborators cemented their legacies in film. The timing was deliberate and unmistakable: with the nationwide release of "The Devil Wears Prada 2" just a day away, the ceremony served as both a cultural milestone and a major Hollywood honor.
Blunt and Tucci became the 2,841st and 2,842nd celebrities to receive such a distinction, and theirs was notably a rare double ceremony held simultaneously on Hollywood Boulevard.
Who Attended the Hollywood Walk of Fame Ceremony for Blunt and Tucci?
The ceremony brought together one of the most star-studded audiences seen on Hollywood Boulevard in recent years. Several high-profile actors spoke in their honor, including Robert Downey Jr., Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Matt Damon, and Meryl Streep.
Dwayne Johnson opened with warm words for both honorees. "Congratulations to Stanley and Emily," he said. "It's about time! The one word that I think reflects Emily's mana in here and her spirit, is 'present."
Matt Damon, who has worked with Blunt across multiple films including "Oppenheimer" and "The Adjustment Bureau," expressed genuine emotion at the milestone. "This makes me so happy... the Tucci-Blunt legend just continues to grow and evolve in the best possible ways," he said.
Meryl Streep, who reunites with both actors in "The Devil Wears Prada 2," delivered perhaps the ceremony's most memorable speech. She began by addressing Blunt directly, saying, "Emily, I feel like I birthed you, really. I'm so proud of you. I can't wait to work with you again, and the best thing about you getting this at such a tender age is that we'll have you to kick around for at least 35 years, if my career is any evidence."
Streep also highlighted Tucci's global reputation: "You can't even call Stanley a national treasure anymore because I've just been around the world and truly the affection hurled at him globally... he's just marinating in it."
Who Is Stanley Tucci and What Did He Say at the Ceremony?
Stanley Tucci, who is married to Emily Blunt's sister, literary agent Felicity Blunt, has established himself as a mainstay in Hollywood over a career spanning 45 years.
At the ceremony, Tucci struck a tone that balanced humor with deep gratitude. He jokingly referred to Blunt in his speech, saying, "I'd like to thank... what's her name, whom I absolutely love and adored from the moment I met her when she was 22, when we first made The Devil Wears Prada."
Tucci added: "It has been an honor and absolutely exhausting to be a part of Hollywood for 45 years, but I wouldn't have traded it for the world."
Who Is Emily Blunt and What Did She Say at the Ceremony?
Blunt made her feature film debut in 2004's "My Summer of Love," but her breakthrough role is widely considered to be Emily Charlton, the high-strung fashion assistant in 2006's "The Devil Wears Prada." Over two decades, she built a career spanning films including "Edge of Tomorrow," "Sicario," and "A Quiet Place," and earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of Katherine Oppenheimer in Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer."
At the Walk of Fame ceremony, Blunt spoke with visible emotion. "It's very difficult to sum up just how meaningful this is to me, and the juggernauts that showed up to speak about me has just blown my hair back. You guys, and the great loves of my life who are all here, have made life such a deep privilege," she said.
She also noted the unique nature of sharing the honor with Tucci, saying, "Now we're gonna spend even more time together as people trample over us, but that's fine. I love you so much, and I'm so honored to be here with you."
Who Stars in The Devil Wears Prada 2 and What Is the Sequel About?
"The Devil Wears Prada 2" also stars Anne Hathaway as Andy Sachs. The sequel, set 20 years after the first film, picks up with Andy returning to Runway Magazine to work with her former boss Miranda Priestly, played by Streep, and Nigel, played by Tucci, who serves as Runway's art director. She also reunites with Miranda's former senior assistant Emily, played by Blunt.
Playing Nigel and Emily respectively in both the 2006 original and its 2026 sequel, Tucci and Blunt enjoyed watching one another step back into their characters. "I think it was very hard to keep a straight face," Tucci admitted. Blunt added, "It's very good that Stanley and I weren't in many scenes together, because we'd be still shooting the film."
Who Are Blunt and Tucci to Each Other Off Screen?
Their on-screen chemistry is matched by a genuine real-life bond. In the time between the first and second "Devil Wears Prada" movies, Tucci and Blunt went from co-stars to family, with Tucci marrying Blunt's sister in 2012.
Earlier in the week, the pair appeared on "Good Morning America," where Tucci described Emily as his "parasitic twin." Blunt responded, "We are so over-related now. We spend way too much time together, and now we're doing a press tour together."
