Lady Gaga does not move at a glacial pace! The Oscar and Grammy winner is set to appear in the upcoming sequelThe Devil Wears Prada” squeezed into a fashion film during her Mayhem Ball Tour.
After four sold-out nights at London's O2 Arena, Gaga was spotted by fans in Milan, where the sequel to the hit 2006 comedy starring Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci is currently filming. “The Devil Wears Prada “2” marks the multi-hyphenate superstar's first appearance on the big screen since “Joker: Folie à Deux.” Earlier this year, Gaga appeared in cameo role in the Netflix series “Wednesday.The production pit stop will take place before Gaga's performance at Stockholm's Avicii Arena on Sunday night.
Based on the 2003 novel by Lauren Weisberger, The Devil Wears Prada follows aspiring journalist Andrea “Andy” Sachs (Hathaway), who works for the glossy fashion magazine Runway but finds herself at the mercy of its demanding editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly (Streep) and all her whims and withering looks. (After all, this is the job “millions of girls would kill for”!) The scruffy book is a Roman clef; Weisberger briefly worked as Anna Wintour's assistant at Vogue.
Plot details for the sequel have not been confirmed, but the storyline reportedly follows Miranda as she navigates her career amid the decline of traditional magazine publishing. Miranda is confronted by her former assistant Emily (Blunt), who is now a powerful executive at a luxury company with the advertising dollars that Priestley desperately needs. It's unclear how Hathaway's Andy will factor into the story; at the end of the first film she quits Runway and takes a job at a newspaper, but she seems to be back in fashion now.
Recently, Streep and Tucci were spotted in the front row at the Dolce & Gabbana show during Milan Fashion Week. There, Streep (as Miranda) and Wintour created a viral moment when two fashion divas met for the first time.
David Frankel and Aline Brosh McKenna, who directed and wrote the original film respectively, return for the sequel. Producer Karen Rosenfelt also returns. Newcomers to the franchise include Kenneth Branagh, who plays Miranda's husband, as well as Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak, Pauline Chalamet and Simone Ashley; Tibor Feldman and Tracy Thoms return to reprise their roles.
20th Century Studios will release the film on May 1, 2026, almost 20 years after the original.
