Andy Sachs Gifts Lily Another Designer Bag in "The Devil Wears Prada 2"

Nearly 20 years later, Andy Sachs and Lily are still best friends. And somehow, that might be the most emotionally satisfying plot twist in The Devil Wears Prada 2.

In the original film, Andy got swept into the glossy chaos of Runway. Lily called her out when needed. They fought. They drifted. But turns out, they never fully severed ties. In the sequel, Lily’s return subtly reminds audiences that while careers, relationships, and wardrobes evolve, some people remain part of your emotional baseline.

And fittingly, Andy once again says “I love you” through a handbag.

In the original 2006 film, fans will remember Andy gifting Lily a Marc Jacobs bag that was supposedly “sold out everywhere”—a small but memorable symbol of how Andy’s world had changed after entering fashion’s inner circle. This time around, the gesture returns as Andy gifts Lily another designer purse: Valentino's Viva Superstar leather shoulder bag.

The bag featured in the sequel is the Valentino Garavani Viva Superstar, a structured shoulder tote crafted in ivory leather with contrasting black trim and the house’s oversized VLogo silhouette.

Rendered in the maison’s Butter White and Nero colorway, the silhouette is clean and architectural, with the oversized black “V” motif serving as graphic framing across the ivory leather body. The proportions are roomy and practical—large enough to function as an everyday carryall—yet the elongated structure and slim chain straps keep it polished rather than bulky.

Structured yet unfussy, the leather silhouette features the maison’s oversized “V” motif framed against clean graphic panels. Gold chain straps give it enough polish.
