And just like that, we have our first nude look of the year. How appropriate that it’s on Kate Middleton’s birthday, too!

While the Duchess of Cambridge has a noticeable penchant for colourless footwear, Emily Blunt decided to sport the colour – or lack thereof – in dress form when she attended the 2013 National Board of Review Awards in New York last night.

Emily showcased both her fashion credentials and enviable figure when she stepped onto the black carpet in a cut-out dress from Emilio Pucci’s autumn/winter 2012 collection. Despite wearing natural make-up, opting for minimal jewellery and keeping accessories to a minimum, the stunning British actress didn’t appear washed out in the slightest. On the contrary we think she stood out a mile and was easily one of the best dressed ladies in attendance.

Can you fault this look? Because we sure can’t!
