Controversy Looms Over Her Return

The on-set sighting comes just days after Sweeney faced online criticism for her appearance in a luxury perfume advertisement that many fans labeled “tone-deaf” and “out of touch.” The backlash stemmed from claims that the ad glamorized excess during economically sensitive times.

While Sweeney has not yet addressed the controversy publicly, her appearance on the set signals a focus on moving forward professionally — especially with such a high-profile project on her plate.

While plot details remain under wraps, industry sources suggest the sequel will explore the digital evolution of fashion media — and the fierce competition within it.

Sweeney’s casting has added a new wave of excitement, with many speculating she could be the “next generation” in the Runway world.

Despite the recent controversy, Sydney Sweeney’s role in Devil Wears Prada 2 could mark a pivotal moment in her career. With her fashion-forward image and growing filmography, she seems poised to take her place in a film that has long been a cultural touchstone in fashion and entertainment.

Fans will have to wait for more details, but one thing is clear: the devil still wears Prada — and this time, Sydney Sweeney might be next in line to carry the brand’s fierce legacy forward.
