Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci Receive Hollywood Walk of Fame Stars on ‘Prada 2’ Release Day
Emily Blunt gets star #2,841 and Stanley Tucci star #2,842 on the Hollywood Walk of Fame — both honoured on the same day ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ released.
Hollywood Honours Two Icons in One Unforgettable Ceremony
Some moments in Hollywood feel genuinely historic. May 1, 2026 in Los Angeles was one of them.
In a rare and celebratory Double Star Ceremony on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, both Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci were honoured on the same day — their stars unveiled one after the other on the legendary Hollywood Boulevard. The timing was no accident. Both stars appear in The Devil Wears Prada 2, which opened in cinemas across the world on that very same day, making it one of the most memorable dates in recent Hollywood history.
This was not merely an award. It was a recognition of decades of extraordinary work, enduring talent, and an indelible mark left on world cinema.
What Is the Hollywood Walk of Fame — and Why Does It Matter?
The five-pointed stars embedded in the pavement of Hollywood Boulevard are among the most recognisable symbols in the entertainment world — and among the most coveted honours any performer can receive.
The star is awarded to artists who have made an exceptional contribution to the fields of film, television, radio, music, or theatre. The list already includes names like Harrison Ford, Marilyn Monroe, Michael Jackson, Tom Hanks, and Dwayne Johnson — the kind of company that speaks for itself.
As of May 1, 2026, two new names have been added to that extraordinary roll of honour.
Star No. 2,841 for Blunt, Star No. 2,842 for Tucci
At the ceremony, Emily Blunt was presented with the 2,841st star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, while Stanley Tucci received the 2,842nd — placed side by side on Hollywood Boulevard, just as the two actors have so often appeared side by side on screen.
The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce captured the spirit of the occasion in their official statement: “This is a truly special moment, because these two artists not only have brilliant individual careers — they share a unique and remarkable bond that has resonated with audiences around the world.”
It was a fitting tribute to a partnership that first captured hearts nearly two decades ago in the original The Devil Wears Prada, and has now come full circle with the sequel.
A Star-Studded Ceremony — Hollywood’s Finest Gathered to Celebrate
The Double Star Ceremony itself became an event within an event, drawing some of the biggest names in Hollywood to bear witness.
Emily Blunt’s husband, acclaimed filmmaker John Krasinski, was present throughout — his pride unmistakable as he watched his wife’s star be unveiled. Also in attendance were Meryl Streep, Dwayne Johnson, and Robert Downey Jr., among others — a gathering that underlined just how highly regarded both Blunt and Tucci are within the industry.
When actors of that calibre clear their schedules to show up for a colleague’s ceremony, it says everything about the kind of respect those colleagues have earned.
A Golden Moment — ‘Prada 2’ and Walk of Fame on the Same Day
For both Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci, this particular day represented something rare in any performer’s career — a convergence of celebration.
On one hand, The Devil Wears Prada 2 — a film in which they reprise beloved roles from one of the most iconic comedies of the 2000s — opened to audiences worldwide. On the other, their names were permanently etched into the pavement of Hollywood Boulevard. Two milestones, one day. It felt less like coincidence and more like the universe offering a perfect punctuation mark on two remarkable careers.
The sequel itself revisits the characters audiences fell in love with in 2006, exploring their lives against the backdrop of an ever-changing fashion world. Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway also return in their iconic roles, with the full ensemble delivering what early viewers have described as a warm and emotionally resonant experience.
Two Careers, One Boulevard, a Legacy That Will Last Forever
A star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is not simply a name pressed into stone. It is an acknowledgement of a legacy — of the stories told, the characters brought to life, and the audiences moved, entertained, and inspired over the course of a career.
Emily Blunt has given the world performances that span the full range of human emotion — from the razor-sharp wit of The Devil Wears Prada to the devastating depth of Oppenheimer. Stanley Tucci has spent decades crafting characters that are impossible to forget, bringing warmth, intelligence, and quiet brilliance to every role he takes on.
Hollywood Boulevard now carries their names permanently — and on a day when their latest film opened to the world, that felt exactly right. Some honours arrive precisely when they are meant to.
