Entertainment Weekly reported on Tuesday that the scene does not appear in the movie at all after a 'creative decision' was taken to remove it. Sydney Sweeney filmed a scene with Emily Blunt last year that was set to be included at the beginning of the sequel. In the movie, the trio of former Runway magazine colleagues played by Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci reportedly approach Emily Blunt's character, who now works at Dior, to seek her help to save the fashion magazine. When they arrive at her work, they find Emily Blunt's character helping dress a celebrity client, played by Sydney Sweeney as herself in a three-minute scene. Entertainment Weekly reported that the scene did not work structurally with the final version of the movie's sequence. The exact reasons beyond these structural issues remain unclear, and it is unknown whether Sweeney or Disney representatives have commented on the removal.
Other celebrity cameos are still expected in the movie. Another celebrity expected to make an appearance is Today show star Jenna Bush Hager. News about Jenna Bush Hager's appearance was spoiled on-air by her co-anchor Craig Melvin earlier this month. Pop icon Lady Gaga was spotted on the sequel's set last October, suggesting she also has a surprise appearance in the movie. The specific roles or scenes for Jenna Bush Hager and Lady Gaga have not been disclosed.
Production details indicate the film's crew was grateful that Sydney Sweeney participated in the shoot. The Devil Wears Prada 2 premieres in theaters on May 1. It is unknown how the removal of Sydney Sweeney's scene affects the overall plot or runtime of the film, or whether any other cameos or scenes have been cut from the final version.
