Anna Wintour appeared in a gag scene for the upcoming film The Devil Wears Prada 2, according to reports and footage released this week.
The appearance is significant because Wintour, the Condé Nast global chief content officer, served as the real-life inspiration for the series' formidable fashion editor characters. Her willingness to appear in a blooper reel suggests a rare moment of public levity for the industry executive.
Wintour filmed the sequence on the production's set in Milan [3]. The footage appears as part of a blooper and gag reel, featuring a cut scene where she appears alongside the film's primary cast, including Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci [1, 2, 3].
While some reports describe the appearance as a cameo [2], other sources said the footage may not be part of the official theatrical cut of the movie [3]. Instead, the segment was filmed as a fun contribution for the film's bonus content [2, 3].
Wintour was 76 years old at the time of filming [3]. The cameo reflects a playful nod to the intersection of high fashion and cinema that the original film popularized.
The movie is scheduled for a digital release on June 30, 2026 [1]. Physical media followers can expect the Blu-Ray release on July 28, 2026 [1].

The inclusion of Anna Wintour in bonus material bridges the gap between the fictional world of the film and the actual fashion industry. By appearing in a gag reel rather than the main narrative, Wintour maintains her professional mystique while acknowledging the cultural impact of the franchise.
