Yin and Yang: Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt are stylish ends of the spectrum in tailored black and cream outfits at National Board of Review Awards

They starred together in The Devil Wears Prada, so it was a film about fashion that first brought Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt together.
So it's apt that they were reunited in a symbiosis of chic at the National Board of Review Awards held at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York.
The two stunning and accomplished actresses were at other ends of the spectrum entirely in their choice of dress, and colouring however.

 

 

Both ends of the spectrum: Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt were polar opposites at the National Board Of Review Awards held at Cipriani 42nd Street on Tuesday night in New York

Hathaway, 30, opted for a simple black trouser suit with dandy-ish flourishes while her British counterpart, 29, was a confection in cream.
Anne, who is earning rave reviews for her portrayal of tragic Fantine in Les Miserables, wore her short chestnut hair slightly to the side and kept her make up neutral.
Simple strappy sandals set off with Gothic black nail polish completed the look.
