Which Hermes Scarf Is Rachel McAdams Wearing in “Wedding Crashers”?
It took days to track down
And isn’t an Hermes scarf after all
When I received this question, obviously the first thing I did was Google screenshots from the movie, but there weren’t many out there so I decided, why not rewatch it and take a look at all of the details? I love Wedding Crashers and have seen it numerous times, but never took a closer look at Rachel McAdams’ scarf, so let’s do it today.
In the movie, Jeremy and John, played by Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson, are divorce mediators and crash weddings as a hobby. Their latest target is the wedding of the Secretary of the Treasury's daughter, hosted by William Cleary (Christopher Walken). However, things take an unexpected turn when John becomes interested in bridesmaid Claire (Rachel McAdams), throwing a wrench into their plans.
So which scarf is Rachel McAdams’ wearing in “Wedding Crashers”?

Above are the Screenshots I had for reference
The above screenshots are the two photos I used for my reference points. Here are the most important things I noticed first:
The Title of the Scarf
The letters we can see in the center of the scarf are “Roo M…”
2. The Baroque Swirls
To me, these actually look more like Dolce and Gabbana or Pucci than Hermes
3. The Tiles on the Edges
Again, to me, these actually look more like Dolce and Gabbana or Pucci than Hermes3. The Black Squares on Corners
These also appeared to say something I couldn’t make out, but didn’t look like Hermes
Here are a couple scarves I considered
Hermes Scarf Options
In terms of Hermes scarves, there were two that came to mind that I wanted to rule out and they were these above. “Azulejos” by Catherine Baschet first issued in 1992 and also “Ciels Byzantins” by Julie Abadie first issued in 2015. Neither of these were right.
Dolce & Gabbana Scarf Options
I went through many Dolce & Gabbana options and above were the ones with the most similarities to Rachel McAdams’ scarf. Still, none of these were correct.
But finally, after much Googling, I found the exact scarf Rachel McAdams is wearing in “Wedding Crashers”.
