Dazzling: Emily Blunt looked worlds away from her character Rachel Watson as she wowed the crowds on the railway red carpet at the world premiere of The Girl On The Train in Leicester Square on Tuesday night
Emily perfected her leading lady look as she glided into the premiere of the movie, which is based on the book of the same name by Paula Hawkins. The red carpet was styled to look like a railway, which made her further stand out in her dazzling gown adorned with heavy beading boasting intricate floral details.
The dress nipped in perfectly at her tiny waist while she posed from all angles to show off the entirety of her figure, which was no doubt shocking to many due to the fact she gave birth in July to her and husband John Krasinski's second child.
Her blonde tresses were pulled up into a delicate chignon which sweeped across in an elegant side parting with loose tendrils framing her face, while the hair was punctuated with delicate golden adornments.
The London-born beauty's complexion was totally flawless, with a smudged smokey eye framing fluttering eyelashes. She dabbed on nude lipstick to highlight her plump pout.

The 44-year-old, who attended the premiere in a chic floral cape, recently told an audience at the Chiswick Book Festival that she had already seen a cut of the film, which opens worldwide next month, and praised Emily’s ‘extraordinary’ performance.
Admitting she was a fan of the actress, Paula said: 'I love Emily Blunt. Mostly, I thought of her as like a comedy actress. I remember her sort of scene-stealing role in The Devil Wears Prada, but she does the most extraordinary job in this. She really does.
'Everybody moans about, "Oh, she's too beautiful to play Rachel" and she is [too beautiful]. But the thing about Rachel, you know the key part of her is her self-loathing and how bad she feels about herself.’
Joining the stunner at the event was her co-star Luke Evans who plays Scott Hipwell in the movie. He looked dashing in a sharp navy suit as he posed with his stunning right hand woman.
