Prim Hemline is a supporting character who appears in the season four episode Rarity Takes Manehattan. She is a fashion critic and judge for Manehattan's Fashion Week.

Development and design
On November 22, 2013, Meghan McCarthy wrote on the Hub Network's Twitter account "Project Runway has Heidi Klum but she's not nearly as harsh a critic as #MLPFIM Fashion Week judge Prim Hemline".

Like Ms. Harshwhinny, Prim has a unique facial structure compared to most mares: her muzzle is more angular, and she appears to have a slight overbite.

Depiction in the series
Prim first appears when Rarity's the last to arrive for Fashion Week rehearsal; she immediately presents herself as a no-nonsense fashion critic. She briefly chews out Rarity for her nearly late arrival, telling her that she'll be presenting her designs last, and informs Rarity and her fellow designers of the details about the following day's run-through.

Prim is later seen at said run-through, expressing her utmost approval for Suri Polomare's dresses, unaware that she'd stolen the fabric for the dresses from Rarity.

At the fashion show, Prim once again showers Suri with praise for her designs before presenting Rarity's "Hotel Chic" line. She is awestruck by the unique designs and commends Rarity, but is surprised when Rarity storms out of the plaza in the middle of the show.
