'Didn't Work Structurally': Why Sydney Sweeney Lost The Devil Wears Prada 2 Cameo

The 28-year-old actor filmed a roughly three-minute scene as herself, but the team cut it after deciding it did not fit structurally.

  • On Tuesday, reports confirmed that actress Sydney Sweeney's anticipated cameo in The Devil Wears Prada 2 was removed from the final cut, which features returning stars Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Stanley Tucci, and Emily Blunt as Emily Charlton.

  • Other adjustments include removing actor Conrad Ricamora, who played Andy's roommate, after test audiences questioned the character's necessity, while Lady Gaga and Supermodel Naomi Campbell remain in the film.
  • Despite these structural changes, anticipation for the May 1 release remains high as the sequel continues the original film's legacy, with newcomers like Justin Theroux and Kenneth Branagh joining the cast.
