Lady Gaga has confirmed that she made a cameo in “The Devil Wears Prada 2” in the movie, confirming that she appears briefly in the film. The story behind the cameo was that Runway magazine, which could no longer afford to fly John Legend to perform during their show at Milan Fashion Week due to budget cuts. At the suggestion of right-hand man Nigel (Stanley Tucci), editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) and her editor, Gaga agreed to perform for the occasion. Costume designer Molly Rogers wanted to incorporate elements of her "Mayhem" era into the film, as a result. Simone Ashley, who plays Miranda’s new assistant Amari, said it was an honor to share the screen with both Gaga and Streep backstage at the fashion show.
