Emily Blunt on High Heels, Equality, and Challenging Gender Norms

Attending a press conference, Emily Blunt expressed her strong views on high heels and gender equality, saying, “No, I think everyone should wear flats, to be honest, at the best of times. I think we shouldn’t wear high heels anyway. That’s just my point of view; I just prefer wearing Converse sneakers.”

Blunt voiced disappointment about societal norms, emphasizing that progress toward gender equality is still lacking. She remarked, “It’s very disappointing. You kind of think that there are these new waves of equality and people realizing that women are just as fascinating and interesting to watch and bank on.”

Blunt also mentioned a past incident where she was asked if her role should be rewritten for a man, highlighting ongoing challenges for women in the industry. In a moment of humor and subtle protest, she concluded by saying, “As a sign of protest, Vinny, Josh, and I will walk the stairs in high heels tonight. I’d like to see that.”
