Emily Blunt looked like a spoonful of sugar at the Mary Poppins Returns premiere and continued celebrations of the upcoming release later in the evening with Jack Whitehall and Emily Mortimer.
She graced the red carpet in a stunning sapphire silk gown at the Royal Albert Hall on Wednesday and then changed into a cut-out pebble print dress for dinner at an elite Mayfair restaurant.

The 35-year-old, who is taking on the role of the titular character in the much-anticipated sequel, was spotted leaving the diner on 12 December with her Jungle Cruise co-star Whitehall and her Mary Poppins co-star Mortimer.
Mortimer, who plays a grown-up Jane Banks in Mary Poppins Returns, was still in her premiere look – a shimmering emerald sequin gown paired with dangling modest earrings.

It seems as if Dwayne The Rock Johnson was inside the venue as he later posted a picture of himself with a group including producer Hiram Garcia, both Emilys and Jack on Instagram.
He wrote: Tonight we loved, laughed (hard) & celebrated with tequila 
with fine wine
with the cast of MARY POPPINS RETURNS.
During the premiere earlier in the evening, Blunt was joined by Mortimer Ben Whishaw, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Colin Firth and Meryl Streep as they posed for photos at the star-studded event.
Chris ODowd, who also stars in the upcoming film, and director Rob Marshall also popped up to celebrate.
Kelly Brook and boyfriend Jeremy Parisi appeared on the red carpet, alongside Maisie Williams and Tom Jones for the star-studded premiere.
The premiere went all-out in transforming the Royal Albert Hall into the iconic Cherry Tree Lane from the upcoming film, which is based on the famed 1964 musical adaptation of PL Travers Mary Poppins stories.

A long blue carpet, flanked by street lamps and flourishing pink cherry blossoms, led up to the entrance of the concert hall – which had been turned into the house from the beloved film – in the perfect homage to the 1930s London setting.

Before stars took to the red carpet, the walkway was taken over by an entourage of dancers who provided early entertainment for the evening.
The dancers, channelling either their inner Mary Poppins in dashing red or street lamplighters, performed on the steps of the Royal Albert Hall as the stars arrived.
The film hits UK cinemas on 21 December.
