After months of speculation following set photos that surfaced in 2025, it has been confirmed that Sydney Sweeney does not appear in the final version of The Devil Wears Prada 2.

Reports indicate that Sweeney filmed a roughly three-minute sequence early in the movie in which she played herself, interacting with Emily Blunt’s character, Emily Charlton (now a high-powered executive at Dior).

Entertainment Weekly reported that the Euphoria star’s scene “did not work structurally with the rest of the sequence”, though a source explained that it was a “creative decision” to remove it entirely. Representatives for Disney and Sweeney have yet to respond.

Other Celebrity Cameos That Did Not Survive

The production of The Devil Wears Prada 2 was famously star-studded, leading to a “running joke” among the cast and crew regarding the constant stream of rumors about who was actually in the film. Sweeney was not the only one who disappeared in the final cut.

Also trimmed from the finished film is How to Get Away with Murder actor Conrad Ricamora (who played Oliver Hampton), who was supposed to be Andy’s roommate. Sources said that the character did not survive test screenings, with audiences questioning why Andy needed a roommate at all.

Instead, Andy spends time at Tracie Thoms’ character’s place, which sources lean more on to stay true to the 2006 original.

Additionally, Anna Wintour, the very inspiration for Miranda Priestly, reportedly filmed a “gag” scene for the upcoming sequel, though no confirmation yet whether her cameo is more than this bonus feature intended for its streaming release.

While some high-profile scenes hit the cutting room floor, the film still got some meta-fashion industry, real-world icons to bring authenticity to its Runway magazine universe.

Several celebrities have been confirmed, including Lady Gaga as one of the most highly anticipated pop icon appearances. She also collaborated with rapper Doechii for a new song for the sequel called Runway, which was co-produced by Bruno Mars and Andrew Wyatt and was featured in the trailer.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 also has Donatella Versace as the fashion legend, who appears in a sequence during Milan Fashion Week; Naomi Campbell, the supermodel, appears at a high-fashion show; Heidi Klum returns to the franchise to reprise her cameo role as the Project Runway host; Marc Jacobs is one of the film’s “meta” fashion icons coming to the party!

Fans can expect The Devil Wears Prada 2 on the big screens on May 1, 2026. Stay tuned!
