Why was Sydney Sweeney's cameo cut from 'Devil Wears Prada'?
What's the story
Hollywood actor Sydney Sweeney's cameo in the upcoming film The Devil Wears Prada 2 has been cut from the final edit. A source close to the production revealed to Entertainment Weekly that it was a "creative decision" to remove her scene, which was originally intended for an early part of the movie. The film, directed by David Frankel, will be released on May 1.
Scene details
Sweeney was to play herself
In her cameo, Sweeney was supposed to play herself in a three-minute scene where she is dressed by Emily Charlton (played by Emily Blunt), a character who now heads Dior's US operations. However, the source revealed that this scene didn't fit well with the rest of the sequence. Despite this, they appreciated Sweeney's involvement and found it hard to decide on removing her part.
