Emily Blunt turns heads in a chic BACKLESS jacket and trousers ahead of The Late Show appearance in NYC

Emily Blunt looked sleek and chic as she arrived at the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York City on Thursday evening.

The Devil Wears Prada star, 40, was on hand to appear on the latest episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

Flanked by security, Blunt strolled to the studio entrance in a unique black blazer with an exposed back.

She went topless under the fitted jacket with shoulder pads and a front that tapered to a point.

The Oppenheimer star paired it with black wide-leg pants that sat low on her hips.

Blunt wore black sandals and wore her dirty blonde hair in a loose bun.

She was decked out in shiny gold jewelry, including a pair of Tiffany & Co. diamonds. Lock earrings.

As for makeup, the British actress sported a radiant, blushing complexion, accessorized with a berry lip and just a hint of shimmery gold shadow on her lids.

Blunt put on an animated show as she waved to fans and photographers ahead of the taping on Thursday evening.

The sighting comes amid unfounded rumors that her marriage to The Office star John Krasinski is on the rocks.

The longtime couple sparked a debate on Sunday after social media sleuths tried to decipher what Krasinski said to Blunt on the red carpet at the Golden Globes, with some believing he told her, “I can’t wait for a divorce.”

However, the pair are “absolutely not talking about divorce,” according to a source who spoke We weekly.

“There are no issues with Emily and John,” the insider shared, adding, “They find the rumors funny and ridiculous.”

It comes after the truth behind Emily and John’s exchange was revealed, with MailOnline’s expert lip reader sharing what the couple actually said to each other.

The expert said the couple appeared to notice photographers “waiting for them.”

They explained that in the TikTok footage, Emily turned to John and said, “It’s a bit cold John, isn’t it,” before laughing and saying, “They’re waiting for us.”

As Emily added, “Yeah,” John said to someone off camera, “Are you okay?”

The 10-second clip ended with Emily asking, “Should we…”

Forensic lip reader Jeremy Freeman also confirmed to DailyMail.com that the actor had not discussed the divorce.

This seems like a much calmer conversation than the wild theories floating around among fans, who were divided over whether John was making an innocent comment about the weather or if he was joking about marital problems.

“I watched this 500 times trying to convince myself he said something other than divorce,” one TikTok user wrote, while others pointed out that the couple would make a comment about the cold weather 14 years earlier and John said : ‘I can’t wait to get in.’

One TikTok user commented, “Did he say I can’t wait to get a divorce? And she said hey and he said I meant it.”

Another “swears” John said “divorce” but wants him to say “get through this.”

However, others pointed out that any mention of “divorce” could simply be a joke between the couple. “He said divorce. But maybe that’s their form of humor/flirting,” said one fan.

“Even if he did say that, maybe it was just a joke between them that went through our heads lol. Seems like the kind of joke he would make,” another agreed.

One fan commented: ‘It looks like he says it as a joke, Emily says something first so maybe he was just joking.’

“Why would he say divorce with all those cameras and microphones on it?” pointed out to others.

Another theory from fans is that the couple was talking about the very windy weather. One claimed John said: ‘I can’t wait to get in there.’

Meanwhile, a TikTok user said Emily clearly said: “It’s actually a bit chilly right now” and her husband replied: “I can’t wait to get in.”

In support of the cold weather theory, many fans pointed to the fact that Emily was later seen wearing her husband’s jacket.

The couple, who tied the knot in 2010, share daughters Hazel, nine, and Violet, seven.

Despite appearing in numerous projects in 2023, Blunt recently revealed that she made the decision to step away from the camera this year and focus on motherhood.

Emily explained on the Table For Two With Bruce Bozzi podcast, according to The Hollywood Reporter, “I’m not working this year. I worked a lot last year and my oldest baby is 9, so we’re in the last year of single digits.’

“And I just feel like there are cornerstones in their day that are so important when they’re little. And it’s, ‘Do you want to wake me up? Do you want to take me to school? Do you want to pick me up? Do you want to put me to bed?'”

“And I just have to be there for all of them for a while. And I just felt that in my bones,” the actress added.

Over the years, Krasinski has showered his wife with high praise in interviews.

“Without her, I wouldn’t be anywhere in my life,” he told Parade in 2022.
