English actress EMILY BLUNT is bewailing the fact she’s been hired by French fashion house Yves St. Laurent, saying they made a terrible mistake in choosing her.
The 28-year-old star of “The Devil Wears Prada” is the new face of YSL’s Opium perfume, and while she says she’s honored to represent the iconic brand, she’s hard-pressed to believe she’s the right person for the role that’s been held in the past by burlesque performer Dita von Teese, a-totally-naked-except-for-stilletos Sophie Dahl, British model Karen Elson, and French actress Melanie Thierry …
“God, I’m so un-French in that trailer,”
Emily laments to U.K.’s The Daily Telegraph.
“There was no one else? They made a mistake, a terrible mistake.”
This despite YSL president Renaud de Lesquen saying in an official press release that:
“She quite obviously embodies who we feel to be today’s Opium woman.”
And what does the often blunt Emily say to that?
“I think that I’ve been wanting to make sure that when I did it, it would be the right thing,”
she says with mock trepidation.
“I’d been asked to do a couple of things but none were as classy as this. And I got to work with a leopard! ”
Imagine that.
