Paige DeSorbo Reveals Childhood Story Behind Her Love for ‘The Devil Wears Prada’

“Good Morning America First Look” anchor Sophie Flay got a chance to chat with Paige DeSorbo on the red carpet of the world premiere of “The Devil Wears Prada 2,” where the former Bravo star shared a fun fact about how she fell in love with the original film.

“I’m not kidding, I don’t know if I should say this, but when I was in eighth grade, this movie came out, and Canal Street, you could buy bootleg movies,” she began.

“And my dad bought me the bootleg version of the DVD so I could watch it in the car on our way home from New York City. It changed my whole life. So to be here tonight, a dream,” she added.

When Flay joked that DeSorbo’s dad “must be so proud” to see his daughter on the red carpet of her favorite film, DeSorbo replied, “So proud, he’s somewhere crying.”

She also shared with Flay that she asked the designer for an “Audrey Hepburn vibe,” which he executed perfectly.

According to People, fans were sent into a frenzy over the possibility that DeSorbo might be making a cameo in “The Devil Wears Prada 2.” In August 2025, she was spotted wearing a feathery pink mini dress on the film’s set in New York City.

That October, DeSorbo hinted that being part of the movie would be a dream come true, careful not to confirm anything directly.

“If I didn’t sign an NDA, and if I was approached to do something in the capacity of ‘Devil Wears Prada,’ it would be my childhood’s full-circle moment,” she told The Zoe Report.

She continued, “This encompasses who I am at my core. It’s a pillar of my personality. So if they were to have reached out and asked me to be a part of it, yeah, I would say that I would cry.”

DeSorbo’s “Giggly Squad” podcast co-host, Hannah Berner, who also attended the movie’s red carpet, confirmed the rumors to be true in an Instagram post the day after the premiere.

Not only did she share photos of herself rocking a 90s look at the premiere, but she also shared a photo of the exact scene in which she and DeSorbo made their brief but memorable cameo in the movie.

“Surprise! Paige and I had a 3 second cameo in The Devil Wears Prada 2 so please don’t treat us differently!!!!! Also this arm cuff is my new personality. Thank you @abmck for writing such an amazing sequel @tdwp2 👠👠👠,” Berner’s caption read.
