Violet Grey
Emily Blunt is known for her roles as an actress, wife and mother, but she tackled a brand-new role for her December cover shoot with Violet Grey—creative director!
In the stunning editorial, photographed by Norman Jean Roy at the Carlyle Hotel in New York City, John Krasinski's ladylove drew inspiration from her upcoming enchanted filmInto the Woods and channeled three fairy-tale heroines: Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel and Cinderella.
But, of course, there's a contemporary spin!
"These weren't portraits of one-dimensional fairytale characters," the Edge of Tomorrowstar said. "They are modern women who are powerful and complicated."
Blunt conveys confidence, poise and glamour in front of the camera and presents each character with a dark twist. The British beauty portrays Cinderella with a short blonde wig and black Zac Posen gown, Red Riding Hood with sultry red lipstick and a J. Mendel cape and Rapunzel with a long braid, Agent Provocateur lingerie and a cage skirt.
Sexy!
"The message [of the film, Into the Woods] is very much to be careful of what you wish for, and it also begs the question, what happens after happily ever after? I just wanted to play with those ideas a bit more," the actress shared of her vision.

Blunt also admitted that she loved the freedom that came with artistic control.
"It was hugely appealing to me to have that much input," she said. "Usually, as an actress, you show up and they say this is what the look is and this is the character that we want you to be. And that's always fun but the fact that I got to have a say in the story was really exciting."
