Emily Blunt Supports Sister at Rivals Premiere

was all smiles as she engaged in a sweet moment with her literary agent sister Felicity at the season two premiere of Rivals in New York on Monday.

The actress, 43, shared a giggle with her older sibling as they posed for snaps at the special screening for the show, of which Felicity, 45, serves as one of the executive producers. 

And as she lent her A-list support, Emily ensured she dressed to impress for the evening in a slinky white slip dress and coordinating stilettos, with the film star accessorising with layers of gold necklaces. 

Meanwhile Felicity, who was the literary agent for the late Rivals author Dame Jilly Cooper, stunned in a sleek beige trouser suit, beneath which she added an embellished nude bodysuit.

The beauty, who is also the wife of actor Stanley Tucci, 65, finished off her look with pointed heels, opting to keep her other accessories to a minimum. 

The talented siblings certainly appeared to be enjoying the event as they wrapped their arms around each other while beaming for the cameras.

While Felicity at one point also showed off her playful side as she cheekily stuck her tongue out.

Felicity represented the late Jilly for the last decade of her career, which was undoubtedly a big honour for her as a longtime fan of the author. 

Sharing her love for Jilly's work in a recent interview with Tatler, Felicity gushed: 'I was a die-hard obsessive, I read all of the manuscripts as soon as they came in and could quote swathes of text... it was like my Mastermind subject.

'She is undoubtedly a large part of why I ended up a literary agent.'

The pair had a very close relationship, with Jilly and Felicity communicating in some form or another on a daily basis. 

Following Jilly's sudden death in October aged 88, Felicity was understandably devastated, with the agent adding to the publication: 'I feel so sad, I'm bereft. Everyday was a squeeze for all it was worth, but it was just too soon and she was having so much fun.'

Based on Dame Jilly's 1988 novel, comedy-drama Rivals debuted on Disney+ in October 2024 and immediately became a huge hit. The eight-episode first series ended in December 2024 and was soon renewed for a second outing. 

Ahead of its release on May 15, Rivals series two received rave reviews from critics, who hailed it an 'exquisite bonkbuster' that was able to live up to the acclaimed first season.

The official synopsis for Rivals reads: 'In the cutthroat world of 1980s television, where the shoulder pads are big and ambitions even bigger, a long-standing rivalry boils over.

'In this award-winning drama capturing the joy, excess, and brazen power-grabbing of the affluent elite in 1980s England, ex-Olympian and notorious womaniser Rupert Campbell-Black goes head-to-head with the media mogul Tony Baddingham in a bid to win the Central South West television franchise.

'Amidst the hedonistic glamour of '80s excess, the personal lives of our Rutshire heroes spiral into chaos when illicit affairs threaten to shatter families, and long-buried secrets ignite with explosive consequences.

'As rivalries push everyone to the brink, loyalties are tested and hearts are broken in the pursuit of victory. But what is the true cost of war?'
