AceShowbiz - Sydney Sweeney was initially set to make a cameo appearance in the eagerly awaited sequel The Devil Wears Prada 2, but her scene was unexpectedly removed from the final cut. The star reportedly filmed a brief three-minute segment for the film, only for it to be cut due to a “creative decision,” according to sources.
Rumors about Sydney Sweeney joining the cast began swirling in 2025 after she was spotted heading to the movie set. The sequel, scheduled to hit theaters on 1 May, marks two decades since the original film debuted. It follows journalist Andi Sachs, played again by Anne Hathaway, as she returns to Runway magazine.
Details revealed by Entertainment Weekly state that Sydney Sweeney was slated to play herself. The scene involved her being styled by Emily Charlton (played by Emily Blunt), who had risen from Runway assistant to head of Dior’s US operations. However, the scene was ultimately cut because it did not fit the film’s overall structure, a source told the publication. The decision was described as a “creative decision” made by the producers. Representatives for Sydney Sweeney and Disney were contacted for comment but did not provide statements.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 recently premiered in New York City on 20 April, with stars Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci, and Anne Hathaway walking the red carpet together.
