Sydney Sweeney’s scene in The Devil Wears Prada 2 has ended up on the cutting room floor.
Moviegoers will not be seeing the 28-year-old actress on the silver screen when the sequel hits theaters on May 1.
The choice to omit her scene was reportedly due to a creative decision.
According to a report from EW, Sweeney‘s appearance would have come near the beginning of the movie, but was scrapped because it didn’t work structurally.
The outlet noted that ‘the team working on the movie was grateful for her participation, making the decision to remove the bit a difficult one.’
The Euphoria star played herself in a three-minute scene, in which she was styled by Emily Blunt’s character Emily Charlton.
Fans were clued in on her involvement with the movie when she was spotted arriving to the New York City set in August 2025.

While Sweeney will no longer be seen in the fashion film, Lady Gaga is still expected to make a cameo.
And the 40-year-old pop star also penned and recorded the song Runway alongside rapper Doechii for the soundtrack.
The follow-up to the original 2006 flick sees Anne Hathaway return as Andrea Sachs, the former Runway magazine assistant who returns to work with editor-in-chief Miranda Priestley (Meryl Streep) as her features editor.
Priestley was inspired by real life Vogue editor Anna Wintour.
In anticipation of the movie’s release, Streep and Wintour are Vogue’s May cover stars.
Wintour said in an interview by Greta Gerwig, ‘What I liked about the first film is that it showed the world what a huge business fashion is.
‘It’s a true economic force globally, and the first film acknowledged that. So much has changed. But I like to think we’re evolving rather than disintegrating. We are still here.
‘We’re all doing our jobs—in different ways and across multiple platforms instead of just one, but how wonderful is that? We’re reaching far more people.’

And the industry pillar said she ‘trusted’ Streep ‘implicitly’ when it came to shooting the second movie.
‘I do think they’ve located something true about the business now,’ Streep noted about returning to the film 20 years later.
The initial Devil Wears Prada film is based on the novel by former Vogue intern Lauren Weisberger.
She described her time working with the renowned publication as ‘crazy.’
While in the position for less than a year, her time at the publication inspired the hit movie, with Wintour serving as inspiration for the boss of the fictional magazine Runway.
