It is official. Lady Gaga has joined the cast of The Devil Wears Prada 2. After months of speculation and online whispers, it ha sbeen confirmed that the pop icon and Oscar winner will appear in the highly anticipated sequel, due for release on 1 May 2026.
Fans had already suspected Gaga’s involvement after a series of set sightings earlier this year, but the official announcement has sent social media into a frenzy. Social media accounts devoted to film updates are flooded with theories about her role, with some convinced she will be playing herself in a cameo appearance, while others believe she might take on a powerful new editorial position opposite Meryl Streep’s Miranda Priestly.
The sequel will reunite the original cast, Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci, nearly two decades after the 2006 classic became a global fashion phenomenon. The new storyline reportedly follows Miranda Priestly as she navigates the decline of traditional magazine publishing, while her former assistant Emily Charlton, now a luxury brand executive, becomes her rival.

Although Gaga’s role remains under wraps, fans have already begun to speculate whether she will bring back the sharp sophistication she displayed in House of Gucci. Others hope to see her deliver a meta performance as a fashion icon within the Runway universe.
The rest of the cast is stacked with new faces, including Simone Ashley, Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, Rachel Bloom, and Pauline Chalamet. Production insiders suggest the sequel will mix biting fashion commentary with the modern digital landscape, exploring how social media influencers have changed the industry once ruled by print editors.
Online reactions have ranged from excitement to humorous disbelief. The film, produced by 20th Century Studios and directed by David Frankel, began filming earlier this year in London and New York.
