Sydney Sweeney may be stepping into the world of high fashion and drama with ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’. On August 6, onlookers spotted someone resembling Sweeney exiting a trailer on set in Manhattan. The trailer was also used by returning star Emily Blunt. The woman wore an oversized hoodie and held a large umbrella, but fans claim it was Sweeney.
The sequel, directed by original filmmaker David Frankel, is already in production. And this sighting has set off a wave of online speculation.
The film brings back Emily Blunt and Meryl Streep, with new faces joining the fashion-filled chaos. Confirmed cast members include Lucy Liu, Simone Ashley, Justin Theroux, Ciara, B.J. Novak, and Pauline Chalamet.
While Sweeney’s role hasn’t been confirmed, rumors suggest she could be playing Miranda Priestly’s latest assistant or a young social media influencer shaking up Runway magazine. Either way, her name is now linked to one of the most anticipated sequels in Hollywood.
Reactions online have been mixed. Fans praised the possible casting. One wrote, “Sydney Sweeney in Prada 2? Instantly iconic.” Another tweeted, “Emily and Sydney on screen together? Inject it into my veins.”
But not everyone is pleased. Some critics argue that Sweeney’s recent controversies make her an odd fit. One user posted, “Who asked for Sydney in this movie? We don’t need this reboot ruined.”

Sweeney’s appearance comes after backlash from her American Eagle “Great Jeans” ad campaign. Critics slammed it for promoting unrealistic beauty standards. Despite the heat, her career hasn’t slowed.
Whether Sweeney plays a lead or makes a cameo, her possible role has already added serious buzz to the film which premieres May 1, 2026.
