Emily is one of the hottest British actresses currently breaking Hollywood. Born and brought up in Roehampton, Emily now divides her time between London and Vancouver, where she shares a home with her boyfriend, Canadian singer Michael Bublé.

After making her professional debut with the National Theatre as an A-level student, Emily's breakthrough role came in 2004 when she starred as a lesbian having a young love affair in the British movie, My Summer of Love.

Since then Emily has continued her rise to stardom with roles in television plays like Stephen Poliakoff's Gideon's Daughter opposite Bill Nighy and Miranda Richardson.

Emily was launched onto the American stage in 2006 when she starred in hit movie The Devil Wears Prada, playing Meryl Streep's first assistant. Although Streep and Anne Hathaway received most of the critical acclaim, Emily's performance was noted and earned her the title of Entertainment Weekly's Best Female Scene-Stealer in their end-of-summer special issue.

As if that weren't recognition enough, in 2008 Blunt appeared in a Vanity Fair cover shoot, touting the hottest young actresses in Hollywood today.
