Warning: Spoilers ahead for “The Devil Wears Prada 2.”
The team behind “The Devil Wears Prada 2” reportedly made a “creative decision” to cut Sydney Sweeney’s cameo from the final version of the film.
An insider familiar with the “Euphoria” star’s scrapped appearance opened up about the decision and what would have happened in her scene during a chat with Entertainment Weekly published Tuesday.
They revealed that Sweeney was set to appear early in the David Frankel-directed sequel when Anne Hathaway’s Andy Sachs, Meryl Streep’s Miranda Priestly and Stanley Tucci’s Nigel Kipling seek out Emily Blunt’s Emily Charlton at Dior’s US headquarters in New York City.
Upon arriving at the office, the trio would have reportedly found Blunt’s character dressing Sweeney, who was one of Charlton’s celebrity clients and played herself in the short scene.
However, the source told EW that Sweeney’s roughly three-minute scene felt out of place with the sequence they were going for.
They also noted that the film’s team appreciated Sweeney’s participation, and the “creative decision” not to include her was difficult to make.
“The Devil Wears Prada 2” scribe Aline Brosh McKenna, meanwhile, further confirmed that Sweeney doesn’t appear in the final version of the film during an interview with Screen Rant published Sunday.
Reps for Sweeney and Frankel did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
Rumors that the 28-year-old “Christy” star would appear in “The Devil Wears Prada 2” started last summer when fans thought they spotted Sweeney sneaking onto the NYC set with Blunt.
A since-deleted video from August 2025 showed a blond woman dressed in a blue hooded sweatshirt stepping out of a trailer with her face concealed by an umbrella.
But Sweeney downplayed the cameo rumors in November 2025 when pressed about the supposed pics of her sneaking onto set.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” she told Screen Rant at the time.
“The Devil Wears Prada 2” officially hits theaters May 1 and will see Hathaway, Streep, Tucci and Blunt all reprise their roles from the 2006 original.
Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, Rachel Bloom, B.J. Novak, Kenneth Branagh and Simone Ashley are joining the cast this time around, and other A-listers like Lady Gaga, Ciara and Ashley Graham were spotted on set before filming wrapped.
