Big Changes to 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' Cameos

The highly anticipated sequel The Devil Wears Prada 2 is already generating buzz ahead of its release, primarily due to the impressive lineup of celebrity cameos spotted during filming in New York City.

According to reports from on-set witnesses, Page Six, and Entertainment Weekly, the film is set to feature a variety of models, actors, TV personalities, and public figures in brief appearances that have fans abuzz.

The sequel continues the story of Miranda Priestly, played by Meryl Streep, who is still at the helm of Runway magazine while navigating its challenges in the fashion industry. Emily Blunt’s character has also advanced in her career, now serving as an executive for a luxury brand that collaborates with the magazine. While the plot remains centered on the fashion media landscape, the spotlight has shifted to the impressive array of real-life celebrities making appearances in the film.

Among the most notable names is Heidi Klum, who was seen filming in New York City. Former Bravo star Paige DeSorbo was also spotted on set during the same period. Additionally, Amelia Gray Hamlin, daughter of Lisa Rinna, was seen arriving for filming, although her role has yet to be confirmed.

Amelia Dimoldenberg, known for Chicken Shop Date, was also part of the shoot. Reports indicate she might be playing herself, though this has not been officially verified. Model and TikTok star Calum Harper was also seen on location, expected to take on a fashion-related role. Model Anok Yai was another notable presence during filming, contributing to the film’s strong representation of runway talent.

Several high-profile figures were seen together during a scene described as reminiscent of a Met Gala setting. Ashley Graham and Ciara were both present, along with Karolina Kurkova, suggesting that the film will incorporate significant fashion-event moments into its narrative.

Other well-known personalities are also expected to make brief appearances in the movie, including editor Tina Brown, media figure Kara Swisher, journalist Molly Jong-Fast, singer Jon Batiste, and designer Marc Jacobs. Their roles are anticipated to be short cameos, likely portraying themselves or versions of themselves within the fashion industry context.

However, not every planned appearance made it to the final cut. Sydney Sweeney was initially filmed for a cameo in the sequel but was later removed during editing. Her scene, which would have appeared early in the film, featured her being styled by Emily Blunt’s character. The decision to cut it was described as a creative choice related to pacing and structure. Although Sweeney had completed her filming, her part ultimately did not make it into the final version.

Reports also note that it is common for films featuring numerous cameos to adjust or remove appearances during the editing process, as seen in other recent productions.

Overall, The Devil Wears Prada 2 is shaping up to be filled with celebrity appearances alongside its main storyline. With filming still fresh in public memory and more details expected as the release date approaches, interest in the film continues to rise, particularly regarding which celebrities will ultimately make the final cut.

From the current reports, the film appears to aim for a modern fashion-world vibe by blending fictional characters with real public figures. This approach could either feel exhilarating and fresh or somewhat overcrowded, depending on how these cameos are integrated into the final narrative.
