Fans hoping to see more of Sydney Sweeney on the big screen have been left disappointed after her cameo was cut from The Devil Wears Prada 2.
The Euphoria star was supposed to have a cameo in the high-fashion film sequel, alongside Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt and the rest of the returning cast.
Sweeney, who has made her name starring in the controversial teen drama in addition to The White Lotus and The Handmaid's Tale, sadly found her scene on the cutting room floor.
The star was caught on camera heading to the set last year, and the internet was soon filled with excitement about what her role in The Devil Wears Prada 2 would be.

Entertainment Weekly has now confirmed that Sweeney did film a scene for near the start of the movie along with Emily Blunt, but it didn't make the final screening.
The outlet reports that the decision to cut her scene out was down to a 'creative decision'.
Fans have been adoring the trailer so far, which teases that Hathaway's character Andy Sachs teams up with her former Runway colleagues.
The team join forces to try and save the fashion magazine from the fallout of a scandal.
Andy turns to former nemesis Emily Charlton, played by Blunt, who now works as the head of Dior's United States operation.
They try and raise funds to save the publication, and Andy heads to the Dior offices.
It is here that Sweeney was meant to appear in a scene with Blunt, as Emily was reportedly shown at work dressing a celebrity client.
Sweeney was apparently playing herself in the three-minute long scene.
According to EW, the scene 'did not work structurally with the rest of the sequence' so was axed.
They reported that 'the team working on the movie was grateful for her participation, making the decision to remove the bit a difficult one.'
Sweeney has recently been sharing her frustration about how people view her work, due to the nudity in Euphoria.
She told The Independent “With The White Lotus, I felt like people were finally recognising the hard work I’ve been doing."
“This is something that has bothered me for a while. I’m very proud of my work in Euphoria. I thought it was a great performance. But no one talks about it because I got naked," she added.
"I do The White Lotus and all of a sudden critics are paying attention. People are loving me. They’re going, ‘Oh my God, what’s she doing next?’ I was like, ‘Did you not see that in Euphoria? Did you not see that in The Handmaid’s Tale?’”
