Nearly two decades after 'The Devil Wears Prada' defined a generation's vision of fashion, ambition, and icy authority, the sequel is finally inching closer - and now, the latest whisper has thrown social media into a frenzy.
Lady Gaga, the pop icon who has conquered both the charts and Hollywood, is rumoured to be circling a role in 'Devil Wears Prada 2'. The news has yet to be confirmed by Disney or Gaga herself, but that hasn't stopped fans from staging their own casting sessions online.
TikTok edits envision Gaga sweeping through Runway's offices in avant-garde couture, while posts on X debate whether she'd make a rival editor bold enough to challenge Miranda Priestly's iron grip, or a new designer whose disruptive vision shakes the foundations of fashion.
The original 2006 film, based on Lauren Weisberger's bestselling novel, became a cultural landmark. Meryl Streep's chilling Miranda Priestly earned her an Academy Award nomination, Anne Hathaway's wide-eyed Andy Sachs became a touchstone for millennials starting out in the workplace, and Emily Blunt stole scenes as the witheringly sharp Emily Charlton.
Talk of a sequel has long been fuelled by nostalgia, but Gaga's possible involvement has given it a decidedly modern spark.
It's not the first time Gaga's name has been linked with high fashion on screen - her Oscar-nominated turn in 'House of Gucci' proved she can embody the drama and decadence of the fashion world.
Whether she ultimately joins the cast or not, her rumoured presence has reignited the buzz around a sequel many feared would never leave development. For now, the question remains unanswered: will Gaga step into Runway's glossy corridors, and if so, who will dare stand across from Miranda Priestly?
