Every Celebrity Cameo You Might Have Missed In The Devil Wears Prada 2
The A-listers showed up en masse for Miranda Priestly’s second coming.
By now, the relief of The Devil Wears Prada’s legacy not being ruined by an objectively ruled “not rubbish” sequel has well and truly set in.
The new sequel reunites cast members Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci, while also introducing new characters played by the likes of Justin Theroux, Lucy Liu and Bridgerton’s Simone Ashley.
And that’s without getting into the absolute sea of A-list cameos who also appear in the sequel.
Far from the fear of facing Anna Wintour’s wrath that came with the first film, The Devil Wears Prada 2 was also accessorised with plenty of celebrity cameos – so many, in fact, that you might have struggled to keep up with them all.
Indeed, with so much going on between the nostalgia rush of seeing the original cast back in action, as well as a surprisingly on-the-nose plot about the decline of journalism, it’s easy to miss a fleeting Chicken Shop Date reference or a renowned pop star or two.
With that in mind, we’ve rounded up all the major cameos in The Devil Wears Prada 2, in case there are any that passed you by in the cinema…
As well as cooking up three original songs for the soundtrack, Lady Gaga also appears in The Devil Wears Prada as herself.
Gaga’s scene-stealing cameo sees her flexing her acting muscles in a showdown with Miranda Priestly herself, in the film’s third act (for which she, hilariously, receives top billing in the closing credits).
Apparently we have Meryl Streep herself to thank for the star’s cameo, after they ran into each other at SNL’s 50th anniversary celebrations and seemingly struck up a friendship.
“We thought we’d make up this persona for Gaga that there’s this terrible history, and she’s such a diva that Miranda can’t stand her,” director David Frankel explained. “And she loved it.”
Fashion legend Donatella Versace made the hop from being fleetingly referenced in the first Devil Wears Prada (“Call Donatella. Get her jet”) to being a cast member in the sequel.
In one scene, we see her lunching it up with Emily, in her new capacity as a senior exec at Dior.
