If emotional volatility were an Olympic sport, Sydney Sweeney would have taken home the gold, the endorsement deal, and the HBO documentary. From the repressed ache of Cassie Howard in Euphoria to the unnerving poise of Reality Winner in Reality, she has proven herself fluent in chaos, with just enough mascara to keep it glamorous. Her performances blend intensity with eerie elegance, often making despair look like a campaign for Tom Ford. One might say she is overdue for something runway-adjacent.

There are whispers she may now be stepping closer to stilettos, satire, and the high-stakes world of fashion fiction with The Devil Wears Prada 2. 

Sydney Sweeney was recently seen attempting to blend into the chaos of Midtown Manhattan, hood up, head down, but hardly unnoticed. Dressed in a pale blue hoodie pulled tightly over her head, the actress was spotted filming alongside Emily Blunt, who is known for her iconic role in The Devil Wears Prada. Although the production team has not confirmed Sydney Sweeney’s role, her on-set presence with Emily Blunt has triggered widespread theorizing among fashion-film enthusiasts.

 Fan accounts have dissected everything from her footwear to her screen time, comparing it to the first look of The Devil Wears Prada 2. Like the Runway interns that once trailed Miranda Priestly, fans appear to be everywhere, only now they are armed with iPhones, Instagram, and relentless curiosity.

Not long ago, Sydney Sweeney’s potential role in The Devil Wears Prada 2 felt like a casting dream but recent events have complicated the fantasy.

Sydney Sweeney’s latest denim collaboration with American Eagle ignited controversy when promotional copy praised “superior genes,” a phrase swiftly condemned as echoing eugenic and racist rhetoric. Social media users compared the tagline to historical supremacist dogma, sparking Instagram and X boycotts. Fashion commentators referenced H&M’s 2018 “coolest monkey” debacle as a cautionary parallel, noting how a single misstep can provoke widespread brand repudiation and social media revolt.

If the backlash endures, American Eagle could withdraw the campaign and sever ties with Sydney Sweeney, while studio executives might quietly revisit her involvement in The Devil Wears Prada 2. A real-world precedent unfolded when Lucasfilm removed Gina Carano from The Mandalorian following sustained social media uproar, an outcome that illustrates how public pressure can derail both advertising partnerships and high‐profile casting decisions.
