- Quick Answer: Anna Wintour filmed a cameo for the sequel, but the scene was cut after she jumped her cue, leaving the footage slightly out of focus.
With the upcoming release of The Devil Wears Prada 2, one of the biggest questions that fans have is whether they should expect a cameo appearance from Anna Wintour.
Miranda Priestley and the world of Runway are returning to the big screen soon with the highly anticipated sequel that brings back the original cast members, led by Meryl Streep. With the endearing legacy of the first movie, there have been hopes that Anna Wintour, the inspiration for Miranda Priestly, will have a cameo.
After all, Wintour has expressed her adoration for the first movie and has become friends with Meryl Streep. Should fans expect her appearance?
Is Anna Wintour in The Devil Wears Prada 2?
The answer is slightly complicated. Anna Wintour indeed visited the set of The Devil Wears Prada 2 and filmed a cameo. However, her scene was removed from the final cut.
For now, fans should not expect a cameo appearance from the famed Vogue head when they see the film in the theaters, but her cameo might be included in the "deleted scenes" package when the film releases on home video.
Director David Frankel explained to EW why Wintour's cameo scene was removed from the final cut of the movie. He shared that Wintour "did come to the set one day, and we did one take with her on camera."
"Unfortunately, she jumped her cue, so she’s a little out of focus in the one shot that we did. I didn’t want to call for take two; I didn’t know if she had the patience for that!" he said.
"Twenty years ago, we were not welcomed in that [fashion] world, and over the two decades, all the actors have become friends with Anna, and it’s great to be able to collaborate with Vogue."
Anne Hathaway recalled having a great time with Wintour when she visited the set of the movie. "It was so fun. She does not get enough credit for what a spectacular sense of humor she has," she said.
The actress recalled that Wintour "hung out for a little bit, her wonderful daughter came with her, and we had a little fun, shot a little bit, it was great!"
