Sydney Sweeney In Devil Wears Prada 2 And More Actors Whose Scenes Were Cut From Major Films

Published by Sam Flores

Not even the biggest names in Hollywood are safe from the cutting room floor – and once a director hits the editing suite, the most A-list of A-listers can still find their scenes have been axed from a major film. Whether it’s a change in direction, contractual issues or a long runtime, there are many reasons why an actor might not make the cut, regardless of how they performed on set. Here are just a handful of stars who gave their all, only to find their performances didn’t make it into the final edit… The Devil Wears Prada 2 was a star-studded affair – but as Sydney Sweeney found out, not every cameo was included in the finished film The Devil Wears Prada 2 was jam-packed with famous cameos, but some celebrities’ performances didn’t make the cut. Last year, Sydney Sweeney was spotted on the set of the Meryl Streep sequel, but her appearance never made it into the film. The Euphoria actor was supposed to play herself in a three-minute scene where she would …

Who Is the Real Emily from The Devil Wears Prada?

Who Is the Real Emily from The Devil Wears Prada?

Published by Daniella Wilson

There’s been a very courteous, very passive-aggressive skirmish unfolding over social media recently about which former Condé Nast veteran was the true inspiration for Emily Blunt’s scene-stealing first assistant in The Devil Wears Prada — Emily Charlton — who, of course, returns in the sequel. In one corner, there’s celebrity stylist Leslie Fremar, who served as Anna Wintour’s real first assistant at Vogue back in 1999, the same year Lauren Weisberger, author of the best-seller on which the first movie was based, served as Wintour’s second assistant. “It was really based off a lot of things that, you know, I lived, she lived,” Fremar said recently on Vogue’s podcast The Run-Through, noting that, like the Emily in the movie, she was “not very nice” to Weisberger back when they worked together. But not so fast, Leslie. Because the internet is also bristling with speculation that Vogue’s longtime entertainment director-turned-casting director Jill Demling is actually Emily’s true inspiration. The evidence, such as it is, focuses on the fact that Demling was Wintour’s first assistant before Fremar …

“I picture the objects being in this world where they’re logical and where you accept that all the objects look like this,” Kahn says, “It’s amazing that this movie, in a weird way, is the opposite. The objects are part of this sort of normal world, but one where everything is exceptional. Everything has to be over the top and fab, and that’s how they get in this context.” One of Kahn’s sculptural lamps and a large-scale tapestry appear early on in the film in the Tribeca loft of Lily, Andy Sachs’s (Anne Hathaway) best friend who has apparently had a successful career in art after being introduced as a gallery assistant in the first film. They take prominence once the editors of Runway travel to Milan, where his lamps and a terrific couch furnish Miranda’s suite. To Kahn’s point, the universe in which Miranda Priestly exists, the spaces she chooses to visit and inhabit, are meant to be the epitome of good taste. It was particularly curious for Kahn that his work was contextualized …

How the devil was disguised in the SBC and Paul Pressler’s Conservative Resurgence

How the devil was disguised in the SBC and Paul Pressler’s Conservative Resurgence

Published by Sam Flores

(RNS) — There’s a brilliant scene in the film “The Devil Wears Prada” in which a villainous high fashion editor berates her new, plainly dressed assistant for thinking she is above the dictates of the fashion world when the fact is that even the discount items she buys have trickled down from the upper echelons of a ruthless and rabid fashion industry. In the movies, the devil may wear Prada, but in the Southern Baptist Convention, the devil came cloaked in its so-called Conservative Resurgence. The Conservative Resurgence within America’s largest Protestant denomination was co-engineered by the late Paul Presser — a Texas judge and a mover and shaker in the Republican Party and the SBC — along with former SBC seminary and convention president Paige Patterson. Armed with evidence that liberals were invading the nation’s largest Protestant denomination, the two organized fellow conservatives to fight back, seizing control of the SBC in a decades-long denominational civil war. Now, a new and exhaustive report by Robert Downen at Texas Monthly details the horrific, lengthy history …

The “Devil Wears Prada 2” wake-up call

The “Devil Wears Prada 2” wake-up call

Published by Sam Flores

At Monday night’s Met Gala, where the dress code was the highly interpretable yet laughably vague “Fashion Is Art” — spun from the Met Costume Institute’s spring 2026 exhibition, “Costume Art” — stars strolled the green carpet gussied up in looks inspired by the works of great sculptors, painters and photographers. Hunter Schafer wore a lovely Prada gown inspired by Gustav Klimt’s “Mäda Primavesi.” Troye Sivan channeled photographer Robert Mapplethorpe in tousled hair and designer jeans. Nicole Kidman showed up in a red sequin dress because she “wanted to embrace the way in which red has been used in art through the years.” They can’t all be knockouts. Rubbing elbows with the glitterati was former journalist, children’s book author, and occasional explorer of the cosmos, Lauren Sánchez Bezos, who, alongside her husband, Jeff Bezos, bought her way into the function for a cool (reported) $10 million. The hefty price tag made Sánchez and Bezos the lead sponsors of the exhibition and gala, and scored them the title of honorary chairs, shoehorning in their names alongside …

The Italian Dubbing of ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ Has Stirred Up a Surprising Controversy

The Italian Dubbing of ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ Has Stirred Up a Surprising Controversy

Published by skeptic

One thing is certain about The Devil Wears Prada 2: The ambitious undertaking of making a sequel of a cult status film after 20 years has succeeded, at least as far as box office figures are concerned. The numbers speak for themselves, with $77 million generated in US theaters and another $157 million in the rest of the world since its April 29 release. In the face of such a box office smash, this installment has inspired heated debates for days about its quality and comparisons to the original. In Italy, those arguments even extend to the dubbing of the film. The controversy stems from the choice of voice actors in the Italian version of The Devil Wears Prada 2, who are themselves a nod to continuity; it’s the same cast as the original. Connie Bismuto is back to voice Anne Hathaway as Andy, Francesca Manicone dubs Emily Blunt as Emily, Gabriele Lavia is once again Stanley Tucci’s Nigel, and above all, Maria Pia Di Meo, the actress who has been the familiar and expressive …

No, we don’t want dudes here, with their cynicism, tedium and neutral wardrobes. We want severe bobs and couture. We want Law Roach attempting to act. We want Balenciaga! The new sequel posits Lucy Liu as the saviour of the universe, which is somehow the fruitiest thing in a movie that features Stanley Tucci sporting a jaunty pocket square. So why does The Devil Wears Prada 2, a follow-up far better than one might imagine for a 20-years-later “let’s get the gang back together” escapade, also insist on including the most criminally tedious heterosexual male to ever appear in a mainstream movie? Seemingly bred in a lab to make us all forgive original Devil Wears Prada boyfriend Adrian …

The Devil Wears Prada 2 finally hit theaters on May 1, the long-awaited sequel to the original 2006 film that has become a classic for its hilarious gags, cultural references, and yes, the fashions. While several moments from the original stick in fans’ brains (the many coats and bags slung on desks, “the Chanel boots,” Andy Sachs’ montage to “Vogue”), it’s arguably hard to beat Miranda Priestley’s (Meryl Streep) iconic and vicious monologue about cerulean in response to Anne Hathaway’s sweater. © Alamy Stock Photo“The Devil Wears Prada” sequel is finally in theaters! Spoilers, spoilers! (spoiler alert!!) And you best believe, that cerulean makes a comeback in the sequel for a sweet, full-circle moment at the movie’s very end, when Andy (Anne) walks into the offices of Runway, this time dressed in a white button-down with jeans and, you guessed it, a cerulean sweater. This version of the sweater is a lot more chic and flattering, cut into a sweater vest with a V-neck and frayed edges, which costume designer Molly Rogers cites as an …
