Hold onto your fashion hats—Lady Gaga is stepping into the iconic world of Prada. The sensational pop star has officially joined the cast of The Devil Wears Prada sequel, reuniting with beloved stars Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt. While Gaga is currently dazzling audiences on her Mayhem Ball tour, she took a brief detour after her London O2 Arena shows to Milan, where the highly anticipated follow-up is being filmed. Variety has confirmed Gaga’s involvement, although the specifics of her character remain a mystery.
But here’s where it gets even more fascinating: sources suggest Lady Gaga might actually be playing herself. This makes perfect sense considering how packed the movie is with high-profile celebrity cameos. Filming during the real Milan Fashion Week gave the production an exclusive passport to gather an impressive lineup of film and fashion icons. W Magazine offers an exciting list of guest appearances, including heavyweights like Donatella Versace, Marc Jacobs, Sydney Sweeney, Ciara, Naomi Campbell, and Heidi Klum—who fans will remember from a cameo in the original film. Even notable media personalities have been spotted, such as Amelia Dimoldenberg of Chicken Shop Date, journalists Kara Swisher and Molly Jong-Fast, and former Vanity Fair editor-in-chief Tina Brown.
Despite all this star power, the plot of The Devil Wears Prada 2 remains largely under wraps. What we do know is that the story will see Andy (Hathaway), Emily (Blunt), and Miranda (Streep) reunited, with Miranda grappling with her career during the swift decline of traditional magazine publishing, according to Variety. The first film captivated audiences by diving into the cutthroat world of fashion media, centered around Miranda Priestly’s iron grip as editor-in-chief of Runway magazine. The original screenplay, written by Aline Brosh McKenna and adapted from Lauren Weisberger’s novel (herself a former assistant to Vogue’s Anna Wintour), captured the high-stakes drama of fashion's elite.
Here’s the part most people miss—the film’s story has come full circle in a delightfully meta moment. At Milan Fashion Week, Anna Wintour ran into Meryl Streep dressed as Miranda, and a clip shared by Vogue on social media captures Streep lightly confessing, "This is my first fashion show," highlighting the playful blend between fiction and reality.
Now here’s a question to stir the pot: Will Lady Gaga’s role as herself add genuine star power, or detract from the story’s depth? And with so many big names popping up, do you think this sequel can live up to the original’s legacy, or is it relying too much on celebrity cameos? Share your thoughts—do you agree or disagree? This could spark some lively debate in the comments section.
