Which Hermes Scarves are in “The Devil Wears Prada”?
I’m even revealing a
New plot twist at the end.
Let’s talk about the iconic scene from “The Devil Wears Prada” when full shopping bags of Hermes scarves go flying through the air in the middle of Manhattan. This is the type of scene I dream about (minus the whole taxi incident at the beginning, of course). But which Hermes scarves are they?
This isn’t the only time when we see Hermes scarves either. In the very last scene Miranda Priestly is wearing a beautifully styled Hermes scarf as she gets into her chauffeured car. After identifying this scarf, I’ve discovered a plot twist at the end.

So, which Hermes scarves are flying through the air?
To my surprise, there are actually a bunch of duplicates in this scene. All the scarves falling from the sky appear to be either one of two patterns. One is Hermes “Bolduc” 45. This is by Jean-Louis Dumas, who is part of the Hermes family and was the chairman of the group from 1978-2006. The other scarf we see is “La Rosèe” and this one is by Anne Gavarni and was originally released in 1960.
What about Miranda Priestly’s scarf that reveals a plot twist?

Miranda is wearing Hermes “Bolduc” 45, one of the same scarves that flew through the air and almost cost Emily her life. Because Miranda always gets what Miranda wants.
