‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ Debuts in New York With Cast Reunion as Sweeney Cameo Is Cut

Overview

• At a Monday premiere at Lincoln Center in New York, Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci reunited on the red carpet as Lady Gaga joined the event tied to her new soundtrack song, Runway.
• Aline Brosh McKenna, who wrote both films, confirmed that Sydney Sweeney does not appear in the theatrical cut, citing rhythm and narrative coherence as the reason.
• Entertainment Weekly reporting described the excised scene as a roughly three‑minute cameo with Sweeney playing herself in a sequence produced by Emily Charlton, which the team decided was not essential.
• Anne Hathaway said she pushed for a major rewrite of Andy Sachs, arguing the character should have spent years traveling and chasing adventures rather than settling into family life.
• Promotion has leaned on fashion‑media ties, with Vogue’s Anna Wintour appearing at the New York launch, as the film heads toward general release, including Brazil later this month or early May.
