If you’ve ever wanted to dress just like Carrie Bradshaw or Andy Sachs — but can’t splurge on those Chanel boots — Molly Rogers has the solution. The beloved costume designer from The Devil Wears Prada 2 and And Just Like That launched a stylish new collection with trendy Macy’s label, On 34th. The collection is filled with pieces inspired by the iconic movie and TV show characters from Rogers’ portfolio, as well as her own costume design background.
“If you’re a New Yorker, or you’ve lived in any big city, you know that you can’t walk down a block without seeing something that stimulates you fashion-wise, hair-wise, makeup-wise,” Rogers exclusively told Us Weekly. “I really bring that street inspiration into the fitting room. I don’t care if it’s fashion, street style or whatever. I used that as the foundation, and the diving board, into doing this Macy’s collection.”
With New York City as an endless source of inspiration, Rogers leaned into the glamour and excitement of Manhattan when creating her collection. The line’s colorful tops, skirts, jackets and accessories are designed to be worn from day to night and styled in multiple ways, making them both fashion-forward and versatile. Plus, there’s plenty of nods to her past projects, from Bradshaw’s signature outfits to a certain shade of “cerulean” blue and devilishly chic pumps.
“I was like, what are my greatest hits, and how can I reimagine them for Macy’s?” Rogers said. “I really used my filming eye and went down the list. Sometimes, I thought about what didn’t work in a fitting—if an actress tried it on, and we would say, ‘That’s such a beautiful color pant, but if it only had a little elastic leg to it.’ What would make this piece better?’ Macy’s helped me edit it. Not only did we create a line together, but I wanted to bring in the feeling of my own fitting rooms on projects.”
From lightweight jackets to eye-catching T-shirts, there’s plenty to love from the On 34th x Molly Rogers collection. Below, discover a selection of stylish Rogers and Us-approved pieces that will give you your own Carrie Bradshaw and Andy Sachs summer.
Stylish Pieces from the On 34th x Molly Rogers Collab
1. Our Favorite: A range of colorful mixed prints creates interest and depth in this swishing maxi skirt, which you can dress up for the office or wear casually with a T-shirt. Rogers made the piece with inspiration from her own collection of designer scarves, plus the prints of vintage ties — much like the pieces Andy Sachs wears.
2. Pretty in Pink: This ruffled skirt includes built-in shorts at the base for a comfortable fit. Best of all, it’s inspired by Carrie Bradshaw. “I thought that would just be much more fun for spring,” Rogers said, who created the “ruffled, more updated” piece with the same flair and silhouette as Bradshaw’s famous pink tutu.
3. Easy Accessory: An eye-catching scarf is a multi-purpose accessory that can instantly dress up an outfit, like this large satin style with colorful graphic prints. “A scarf is to hold your hair down when you’re out on your bike, or you’re in the city,” Rogers said. “Take that from its normal use and give it a little twist . . .wear the scarf with a bucket hat that matches, or make it into a skirt. Twist that use.”
4. Carrie Bradshaw-Approved: Out of all the pieces in her collection, Rogers says this colorful duster jacket is a “staple” that Carrie Bradshaw “would definitely want.” With its bright blue hue and light weight, the piece can be effortlessly dressed up or down — and best of all, it includes pockets.
5. Better Than Denim: These lightweight cargo pants are anything but slouchy. They feature a clean, straight-leg silhouette and come with a detachable back pocket inspired by Rogers’ fittings with Sarah Jessica Parker. “I find that to be such a great place to put a pocket, right above the lower back,” Rogers said. “It’s a fanny pack! You’ve got one, but it’s chicer because it’s on your pants.”
6. Wear Everywhere: A lightweight jacket is the “framework for anything,” according to Rogers, like this utilitarian style she created for Macy’s. “It’s oversized, so it’s got that little fashion edge to it, instead of being outdoorsy—which it could also be,” the costume designer told Us. “You could wear it with shorts, you could wear it with a spring dress, you could belt it. You can work with it in many different ways.”
7. Everyday Tee: Rogers’ Macy’s collection includes several white T-shirts with bright, vibrant prints. This soft style features a whimsical matchbox pattern inspired by fashionable cities, creating a conversation piece that’s easy to wear with skirts and denim alike.
8. Luxe Layer: This oversized, “modern” blazer is a piece Rogers said “will look good on every body type.” In true Carrie Bradshaw style, it also includes a detachable flower pin for added flair — which can also be styled from work to date night. “You can wear a million different shoes with it,’ Rogers says of the blazer. “You can sneaker it to work, you can sandal it to work, you can [wear] a close-toed pump with it. I found that to be something that grabbed my eye a lot.”
9. Just Add Pumps: Do these Devil-ishly chic heels look familiar? Rogers gave the classic pump a mid-height heel and sleek red hue, creating a statement shoe that’s fashionable, comfortable and definitely Miranda Priestly-approved. We can’t wait to wear these with a pair of dark jeans or a matching midi dress this summer.
10. It’s All in the Details: Who remembers Carrie Bradshaw’s famous flower pins? Rogers created an approachable set of three patterned brooches inspired by her famous accessory, which you can wear separately or together for a burst of flower power.
11. Stunning Skirt: A colorful skirt is a must-have piece for spring and summer. This style features a color-blocked silhouette with a flattering high-low hem to showcase your shoes. It brings to mind plenty of skirts from Sex and the City and The Devil Wears Prada.
12. Designer Look: If you love Carrie Bradshaw’s designer bags but don’t have a designer budget, this chic clutch makes a statement without breaking the bank. The East-West shape is classic and sharp, with a reptilian pattern and subtle metallics that are ideal for dinners, formal date nights and weddings.
13. Elevated Bottoms: These nip-hemmed trousers include a classic pinstriped pattern, with a modern update from striped side panels. The style’s tonal colors and mixed prints create a fashionable statement, all while remaining approachable and appropriate for wearing to the office — or as a chic alternative to casual linen pants or jeans, if you choose.
14. Endless Possibilities: What’s better than one jacket? Two — especially in the same piece. This soft zip-up style features a classic navy blue hue, which can be reversed into a second jacket covered in chic, geometric patchwork prints. Plus, its ribbed hems are both flattering and comfortable for all-day wear, making this layering piece a power player in your closet.
