Queer icon Lady Gaga may be slipping into the high-fashion world of The Devil Wears Prada, with strong speculation that she’s set to make a cameo in the highly anticipated sequel.
While Disney has kept production details under tight wraps, fans are buzzing after Gaga was spotted in Milan — the very city where filming is currently taking place.
The sequel, set to premiere on 1 May 2026, will reunite the film’s key cast, including Meryl Streep as the formidable Miranda Priestly and Anne Hathaway as the ambitious Andy Sachs.
Lady Gaga in Milan? Fans Think It’s No Coincidence
Gaga recently finished a four-night run of sold-out shows at London’s O2 Arena for her Mayhem Ball tour. Just days later, she was seen in Milan — sparking rumours of her involvement in the sequel.
While no official confirmation has been made, fans are convinced her presence in the city during filming was not just a coincidence. The theory gained traction when Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci were spotted together at the Dolce & Gabbana show during Milan Fashion Week, where Gaga’s sudden appearance only added to the speculation.
The Sequel’s Star-Studded Cast and Production
The original Devil Wears Prada, released in 2006, became a pop culture phenomenon and LGBTQ+ cult classic. Two decades on, the follow-up is officially in the works, and expectations are sky-high.
Returning cast members confirmed so far include:
- Meryl Streep (Miranda Priestly)
- Anne Hathaway (Andy Sachs)
- Stanley Tucci (Nigel)
Other notable names attached to the sequel include:
- Kenneth Branagh
- Lucy Liu
- Justin Theroux
- B.J. Novak
- Pauline Chalamet
- Simone Ashley
- Tibor Feldman
- Tracie Thoms
While speaking to Variety last year, Tucci confirmed the sequel was in development but remained tight-lipped about plot details.
A Real Fashion World Crossover
Adding to the meta allure of the film, Streep made headlines recently after being spotted chatting with Anna Wintour, the Vogue editor widely believed to have inspired the character of Miranda Priestly. Their meeting during Milan Fashion Week went viral and only added more buzz to the film’s production.
If Gaga does indeed appear in the film, it will be her latest high-fashion role after House of Gucci, and another nod to her place as a queer cultural icon with undeniable fashion credentials.
For now, it remains speculation — but fans are certainly hoping this rumour turns out to be true.
