When Fashion Meets Self-Care: Emily Blunt “Taps” Into Calm in The Devil Wears Prada 2
The fashion world is buzzing after the new trailer for The Devil Wears Prada 2, and fans are loving a surprising moment at the 0:58 mark: Emily Blunt’s iconic character Emily Charlton pausing amid the chaos of high-fashion life to do a few rounds of tapping.
Yes — the once razor-sharp assistant appears to be using EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) to stay calm.
It’s a blink-and-you-miss-it moment, but it says a lot about how far the conversation around mental health has come. In the original film, Emily thrived on stress, caffeine, and perfectionism. In this sequel, she seems to have added something new to her survival toolkit: self-regulation.
Why this tiny scene matters
Seeing tapping in a mainstream movie trailer might seem small, but it reflects a bigger cultural shift. High-performance industries — from fashion to film — are increasingly acknowledging burnout, anxiety, and the need for tools that help people stay grounded under pressure.
EFT tapping is often used to:
Reduce stress and overwhelm
Calm performance anxiety
Improve emotional regulation
Support resilience in fast-paced environments
And honestly, if anyone needs stress management tools, it’s Emily Charlton navigating runway deadlines, demanding bosses, and front-row fashion week drama.
From stress chic to self-care chic
What makes this moment so fun is the contrast. The Devil Wears Prada has always represented ambition, perfectionism, and the relentless pursuit of success. Adding a self-care moment into that world subtly signals that modern success includes emotional well-being.
It sends a powerful message: even the most driven, polished, high-achieving professionals need ways to regulate stress.
Hollywood meets emotional wellness
Whether played for humour, realism, or both, the tapping shows how emotional wellbeing tools are becoming part of everyday life — not just therapy rooms. From athletes to executives, and now fashion icons on the big screen, the message is clear: taking care of your nervous system is no longer niche — it’s normal.
