Here are some photos from last night’s Hollywood premiere of Mary Poppins Returns. Emily Blunt was clearly the star of the red carpet, which is how it should be. She dressed up like a real Disney princess too, probably because she knew she was going to be interacting with kids at the premiere. Can you even imagine being a little kid and loving Mary Poppins and here comes Emily in this Good Witch get-up? She must have blown their minds. The dress is Yanina Couture. John Krasinski, her husband, was obviously her plus-one, but he only posed with Emily for a short time, then he let her have the carpet to herself.
Lin Manuel Miranda was there, and he brought his wife Vanessa, and he also posed with Dick Van Dyke. It was sweet, and let’s not forget that this was a dream come true for Lin as well.
I’m also including photos of Emily Mortimer & Ben Whishaw (they play the Banks children all grown up), plus Matt Damon and Luciana. Matt and Luciana are close friends with Emily and John, although Matt has been in the wind for months now. I think he’s just been spending a ton of time in Australia with his BFF Chris Hemsworth.

She looks beautiful! I love Emily!!
I didn’t know Matt was BFFs with Chris Hemsworth, my secret boyfriend. Now I have to side-eye Chris. 😀
Maybe Matt Damon is in Australia to avoid having to deal with Ben Affleck’s affliction? I understood they grew up together and were best friends, and wrote Good Will Hunting together? So maybe Matt just outgrew Ben and his drama, as he seems to keep himself and his family away from paps pretty successfully….JMO
Emily looks positively glorious. I’m itching to adjust Lin’s tie but the cast all looks good and proud of their movie.
Stunning!
Emily Mortimor looks stunning. Ben looks magical. Emily Blunt looks lovely. I wonder, did they plan on the all-white theme? All these people look like so much fun. I bet they had a great time making the movie. Lin-Manuel’s wife looks beautiful as well.
She looks gorgeous!
And Ben Whishaw is as adorable as ever.
Oh god, I HATE it. The bodice is nice… but the sleeve situation makes it looks like weird geriatric lingerie.
I’m with you, Erinn. Most of it is perfectly fine, if a bit boring, but the sleeves just kill it. So awful.
Yeah, the sleeves just totally make me cringe. Rip those off and it’s a pretty dress!
Those puffy sleeves are horrid and totally ruined an otherwise pretty dress
Add me to the sleeve-haters list!!
Ugh !
Did she really look in the mirror and think I look amazing. Those sleeves are ridiculous…Tinkerbell ready to take off in flight!
Yeah the sleeves are too much for me. It makes it more costume-ish. I like the rest of it though and she looks great.
I like what Emily is wearing. It’s the kind of dress that isn’t going to work across the board, but for the Hollywood premiere of the Mary Poppins “remake” where you play Mary Poppins…..its perfect. I also love how John backed off and let her have some time in the spotlight.
Look at Lin’s face. LOOK HOW STUPIDLY EXCITED AND HAPPY HE IS. Remember my comments from yesterday. I LOVE LIN.
So true! And next to Dick Van Dyke, how fantastic. They are both rays of sunshine. Warm fuzzies for this morning.
I’m not sure how wearing a deep cleavage dress with boobs on the verge of popping out says “Mary Poppins”. I guess if you take the character’s name literally and use your boobs to convey it… It seems pretty inappropriate for a kid’s movie IMO. So yes, potatoe, Po-tat-oe !
Ben Whishaw is rocking that suit! I love it when men take bold choices and play with fashion.
Yes. And I LOVE Ben! He did a sociopath psycho so well in Perfume he fell right into my heart and will have a special place in my heart forever now.
oh yes he was brilliant in Perfume, I also loved him in Cloud atlas. He’s a great actor.
Have you seen A Very English Scandal with Ben and Hugh Grant? He’s fantastic in that but also HG was a revelation. Highly recommend.
@louisa I didn’t see it, thanks for the recommendation
@louisa, I did hear about that film when it came out and then forgot. Thanks for a reminder.
He was amazing in London Spy.
He’s also amazing as Paddington Bear >_> seriously.
I don’t care for Emily’s dress (not a big fan of her fashion choices) but I love Lin’s wife’s dress. It looks fantastic on her.
I’m with you. The color is gorgeous.
Agreed. And knowing she had a baby just a few months ago makes me appreciate it all the more! Woman knows how to dress her figure.
I feel like the sleeves are wrong. Not crazy enough to be interesting, but just weird enough to look silly. She looks gorgeous otherwise.
Love Ben’s suit!
I like the gown for this specific occasion, but I don’t think it would work as an Oscar dress or something of that nature. She does indeed look very lovely, though. My only “complaint” is her hair. Not the styling, but even though she’s gorgeous no matter what, I think she is so much more striking as a brunette. Her & John are so cute together, too!
Agreed about the brunette. I don’t know why she insists on being a blonde. It ages her and takes away from her face. I don’t get it.
I absolutely agree with you guys about the hair situation- I miss both her brunette and her red hair days, as I think she looked stunning with both, BUT, to be fair to her- I’m pretty sure she is actually naturally blonde! I read a thing with her hairstylist agent ago where she talked about dying her hair different colours for roles. So I can’t really blame her for giving her hair a break from dying it (that is if I’m remembering right.)
I think she looks good no matter what, but I agree that darker hair is more striking on her.
I detest the blonde hair.
Lin’s wife is gorgeous, and I love her makeup.
That was my first thought too. I do love Emily’s dress. I love sleeve drama.
I looove Vanessa’s dress! That woman is GOALS! The looks, the brains!!! She’s the whole package! And I always love that her husband is her number one supporter and fan!
+1 forever. I love LMM but more and more I feel like Vanessa would be a fantastic friend.
Count me among the people who love the rest of the dress but hate the sleeves. They’re just way too BIG for me. That said- she looks gloriously pretty, and can pull it off where few could in my eyes. Plus, I can see what you mean when you say it’s perfect for the night- it’s very Disney, very fairytale, very “big night”, and it certainly was Emily’s big night! I’m so happy to see the reception the movie got- having loved her for many years, I’m SO ready for Emily to be a huge movie star!
To me…
She is not wearing the dress…
The dress is wearing HER!
The sleeves are too big…the dragging of the gown doesn’t help….
I thought the sleeves were horrendous at first like many posters here, but when I read there would be a lot of children and she was going for a “good witch” look, it made sense. It’s kinda costume’y looking, but it makes sense for a premiere like this.
She’s glowing. Can’t help but think it reflects what seems to be quite a happy marriage.
It’s kind of odd, but I REALLY love this volume trend in women’s fashion. We’ve been seeing so many big dresses recently, and it reads to me like a form of empowerment. It shows a lack of fear to take up space. To claim attention. To be heard. This is Emily’s movie, she took a huge burden on with this iconic role, and I think it’s wonderful that she can strongly stand her ground on the red carpet and look feminine at the same time.
Similar to Tessa Thompson’s dress here (which I love more than Emily’s):

I didn’t expect to be emotionally impacted by a fashion trend, and I am probably making more of it than necessary, but those are my feelings.
Whoa, you just changed my mind about her dress…! I can get behind this! Great explanation!
Good god-why does seeing Lin with Dick Van Dyke make me verklempt? I might have to go see this.
Not gorgeous – I don’t like this white dress at all, especially the squished boobs. Emily does not suit this pale yellow blonde shade
Lin Manuel’s wife looks stunning, pretty gown
I like her dress. I love Dick Van Dyke.
Should could pull off the gown with a power red lip or perhaps an eye-popping hot pink lip color. The peachy color is too meh for a white dress with pale hair color.
I think Emily is expecting again.
