Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci in The Devil Wears Prada 2 Macall Polay/Disney
By now, the relief of The Devil Wears Prada’s legacy not being ruined by an objectively ruled “not rubbish” sequel has well and truly set in.
The new sequel reunites cast members Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci, while also introducing new characters played by the likes of Justin Theroux, Lucy Liu and Bridgerton’s Simone Ashley.
And that’s without getting into the absolute sea of A-list cameos who also appear in the sequel.
Far from the fear of facing Anna Wintour’s wrath that came with the first film, The Devil Wears Prada 2 was also accessorised with plenty of celebrity cameos – so many, in fact, that you might have struggled to keep up with them all.
Indeed, with so much going on between the nostalgia rush of seeing the original cast back in action, as well as a surprisingly on-the-nose plot about the decline of journalism, it’s easy to miss a fleeting Chicken Shop Date reference or a renowned pop star or two.
With that in mind, we’ve rounded up all the major cameos in The Devil Wears Prada 2, in case there are any that passed you by in the cinema…
Lady Gaga

As well as cooking up three original songs for the soundtrack, Lady Gaga also appears in The Devil Wears Prada as herself.
Gaga’s scene-stealing cameo sees her flexing her acting muscles in a showdown with Miranda Priestly herself, in the film’s third act (for which she, hilariously, receives top billing in the closing credits).
Apparently we have Meryl Streep herself to thank for the star’s cameo, after they ran into each other at SNL’s 50th anniversary celebrations and seemingly struck up a friendship.
“We thought we’d make up this persona for Gaga that there’s this terrible history, and she’s such a diva that Miranda can’t stand her,” director David Frankel explained. “And she loved it.”
Donatella Versace

Fashion legend Donatella Versace made the hop from being fleetingly referenced in the first Devil Wears Prada (“Call Donatella. Get her jet”) to being a cast member in the sequel.
In one scene, we see her lunching it up with Emily, in her new capacity as a senior exec at Dior.
Heidi Klum

With supermodel status and a name for throwing the best parties, it makes sense that Heidi Klum has earned the rare bragging rights of appearing in both Devil Wears Prada movies.
After being spotted in a fashion show audience in the first film, this time round she appears in a scene opposite Emily Blunt.
Marc Jacobs
via Associated Press
Another big fashion world cameo, designer Marc Jacobs appears as himself to flap over a bow in his new collection that seems to meet with Miranda’s disapproval.
Winnie Harlow
via Associated Press
Winnie Harlow got her big break after appearing on America’s Next Top Model in 2014, and went on to work with Fendi, Victoria’s Secret, Marc Jacobs and even Beyoncé.
Look closely and, you’ll see her clinking glasses with the fellow rich and beautiful in the film.
“Someone who looks like me being in the fashion industry wasn’t even a thought when the first The Devil Wears Prada came out,” she wrote on Instagram.
“It became the biggest fashion movie in the world. To now be asked to be a part of the second film is bigger than a dream come true, it feels like history shifting in real time.”
Naomi Campbell

Of course they wouldn’t dare leave one of the most iconic supermodels off the invite list when it came to cameos.
You’ll spot Naomi Campbell front row at the film’s Dolce & Gabbana fashion show, naturally seated right next to Miranda Priestly herself.
Ciara

Outside of the fashion world’s BNOCs, there are plenty more celebrity cameos to look out for.
Grammy-winning singer Ciara is just one of them, popping up during the film’s Met Gala-inspired sequence early on in the proceedings.
Ashley Graham

Model and body positivity advocate Ashley Graham has an apt red carpet moment in The Devil Wears Prada 2.
Speaking to People magazine, she recalled shooting her scenes in an appropriately fancy Christian Siriano dress, before encountering Meryl after the director called “cut”.
“[Meryl] starts walking towards me and I’m like, ‘Okay.’ Not uncomfortable visually, but mentally I’m like, ‘What am I going to say to her?’” she admitted..
“She comes over and she goes, ‘Darling, you have impeccable, impeccable posture.’ And then walked away. I was like, ‘Oh, this is Miranda. She’s in character. This is wonderful’.”
Amelia Dimoldenberg
via Associated Press
In a very much “blink-and-you’ll-miss-her” cameo, Chicken Shop Date host Amelia Dimoldenberg appears for a split second as a guest at Runway chairman Irv’s birthday party (her one line, fittingly, is “Chicken Shop Date?”).
Amelia has described appearing in the sequel as a “pinch me” moment, having previously admitted to studying fashion journalism at university based on her love of the first movie.
Karolina Kurkova
via Associated Press
One of Anna Wintour’s faves, former Victoria’s Secret model and Vogue cover star Karolina Kurkova also crops up in The Devil Wears Prada 2.
She’s right where you’d expect her as the film opens, rubbing shoulders with other models and setting the scene for the many fashion cameos to come.
Calum Harper

Another guest at Irv’s birthday party is self-proclaimed “gangly ginger model” and TikTok star Calum Harper.
“It was ******* crazy. I had my own cast chair. I sat next to Anne Hathaway. It was amazing,” he told The Observer.
“They ended up giving me some lines, asked me to improv, to flirt and talk ******** about modelling and fashion week in a party scene. I was gassed.”
Karl-Anthony Towns
via Associated Press
New York Knicks basketball player Karl-Anthony Towns is perhaps one of the more surprising cameos of the bunch, after Andy runs into him at one of Miranda’s parties and professes how much of a fan she is.
Turns out Karl-Anthony himself is a “big fan” of The Devil Wears Prada, with director David explaining to Screenrant: “We reached out to him, and he was thrilled.”
“For the athletes, we have KAT, and we have Rory McIlroy, which was thrilling for me as a golfer,” he added.
“I think Miranda’s world on weekends is filled with cool, interesting people. Anybody who’s the best at what they do, she wants to have for lunch. That’s how we sought out KAT.
Rory McIlroy
via Associated Press
Speaking of Rory McIlroy, the golfer does indeed appear as another cameo in the movie.
It all came about after the former world number one admitted in a real-life interview that he switched off by watching The Devil Wears Prada the night before winning a big tournament.
Naturally, that caught the attention of director David, who invited him to appear in the sequel as one of Miranda’s aforementioned cool and interesting friends.
Jon Batiste and Suleika Jaouad
via Associated Press
Grammy and Oscar-winning singer and composer Jon Batiste appears alongside his wife, writer and advocate Suleika Jaouad.
You’ll catch a glimpse of them at Miranda’s house in the Hamptons, tucking into an expensive-looking lunch alongside Andy.
Law Roach
via Associated Press
“Image architect” and Zendaya’s longtime stylist (not to mention the person responsible for sharing her and Tom Holland’s wedding news with the world) Law Roach is another big fashion name to appear in the movie amongst the style elite.
Law has spoken about how much the original Devil Wears Prada meant to him, saying: “I was a little boy growing up in Chicago and I wanted to work for Miranda. This movie literally set the tone and gave me so much to aspire to be.”
Jenna Bush Hager
via Associated Press
Another name doing the rounds at Miranda’s Hamptons getaway is US morning news host (and daughter of former President George W. Bush) Jenna Bush Hager.
She’s seen giving Andy her dues for her sweatshop exposé piece, and has explained that she styled herself for her cameo – and that her line was unscripted.
Tina Brown
via Associated Press
Former Tatler and Vanity Fair editor Tina Brown is a huge figure in the journalism world, so it makes sense that she’d be a friend – or, at least, a frenemy – of Miranda Priestly in the Devil Wears Prada universe.
You can look out for Tina at Miranda’s star-studded Hamptons party.
Ronny Chieng
via Associated Press
Also among the guests at Miranda’s swanky garden party is Ronny Chieng.
The comedian is a regular face on the topical US series The Daily Show, and also had a minor role in the rom-com Crazy Rich Asians.
Kara Swisher
via Associated Press
Seriously, Miranda’s Hamptons party is a moment in The Devil Wears Prada 2 where you need to keep your eyes peeled.
Also hobnobbing at the event is Kara Swisher, a prolific writer for outlets such as New York magazine and The New York Times. Kara also fronts the current affairs podcasts On and Pivot.
Anok Yai
via Associated Press
Another real-life supermodel who has been immortalised in The Devil Wears Prada 2 is Anok Yai.
The Met Gala regular can be seen playing herself in scenes set at Milan Fashion Week.

Followers of the author and novelist Molly Jong-Fast might be surprised to see her also snag a cameo in the film.
She later joked that she was “in Devil Wears Prada 2 for about three seconds which is three seconds more than Sydney Sweeney”, alluding to the Euphoria star’s infamously scrapped scene.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 is in cinemas now.
