Lady Gaga Spotted in Milan: The Devil Wears Prada 2 Set Secrets Revealed!
EXCLUSIVE SCOOP: Lady Gaga Joins Devil Wears Prada 2 Cast, But What's Her Role?
The fashion world is abuzz with excitement as Lady Gaga has been spotted on set in Milan, Italy, for the highly-anticipated sequel to the iconic film The Devil Wears Prada. The singer, known for her bold style and unapologetic attitude, was seen leaving a building and jumping into a nearby car, fueling rumors about her involvement in the project.
But Gaga's not the only big name joining forces for this eagerly anticipated sequel. Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Meryl Streep are all reprising their roles as Miranda Priestly's loyal (and sometimes hapless) assistants in the original film. And it seems like Donatella Versace is making a cameo appearance too - because who better to name-drop than the queen of Italian fashion herself?
The Devil Wears Prada 2, set for release on May 2026, exactly two decades after the original's box office smash, promises to deliver more of what fans loved about the first film. The plot details are still under wraps, but sources suggest that Miranda Priestly (played by Meryl Streep) is grappling with the challenges facing print magazines in a digital age. Cue Emily Blunt's character, now a high-powered executive at a luxury label, swooping in to save the day - and securing vital advertising deals for her former boss.
But here's the thing: this isn't just any sequel. The original Devil Wears Prada was more than just a film - it was a cultural phenomenon that cemented itself as one of the defining comedies of the 2000s. It earned five BAFTA nods, three Golden Globe nominations overall, and even snagged two Academy Award nominations for Meryl Streep's iconic performance as Miranda Priestly.
The original also inspired countless fashionistas to whisper "That's all" in reverence, sending sales of designer clothing skyrocketing and making Anna Wintour (who was the real-life inspiration behind Miranda Priestly) a household name. And let's not forget that it even spawned a musical adaptation starring Vanessa Williams as the legendary editor-in-chief.
But what about Lady Gaga? Is she playing a supporting role or taking on a major character all her own? We reached out to her representatives, but alas, they're keeping mum for now. One thing is certain: with Gaga's arrival, this sequel just got a whole lot more interesting.
When we spoke to sources close to the production, they hinted that the story would follow Miranda Priestly as she navigates the cutthroat world of fashion publishing - and the challenges facing print magazines in a digital age. "It's going to be a wild ride," one insider promised. And with David Frankel (director) and Aline Brosh McKenna (writer) both back at the helm, fans can expect more of the witty banter, sassy humor, and biting satire that made the original such a hit.
The Devil Wears Prada was based on Lauren Weisberger's bestselling novel of the same name, published in 2003. It's been adapted into a musical with music by Elton John (because who wouldn't want to hear "I'm Still Standing" belted out as a Miranda Priestly number?), and even inspired countless fashion writers and bloggers - including this reporter!
As for Lady Gaga's role? We'll just have to wait until the film drops in 2026. But one thing is certain: with her on board, this sequel is going to be something special.
