To nail this look, start with a black double-breasted blazer, extra points if it features distressed white trim for that vintage Chanel feel. Another highlight is a pair of thigh-high leather boots. Elevate the ensemble with layers of gold necklaces and a textured green knit bag to recreate that perfectly cluttered mid-2000s chic like Andy.

If you want to capture the vibrant street-style energy of 2000s New York, Andy’s green double-breasted coat is the blueprint. Look for a structured silhouette and add a DIY touch of leopard-print to the collar and cuffs. Complete the look with white leather gloves and oversized vintage-inspired sunglasses.

For a chic, evening aesthetic, Andy’s sleek, dark form-fitting dress layered under a sharp black overcoat. The focal point here is the iconic Chanel coin necklace, draped in multiple layers to provide a golden contrast against the monochromatic base.

Miranda Priestly’s wardrobe exudes the authority of a fashion monarch. To channel the look, you need a luxurious black coat with a voluminous fur collar. Underneath, layer a rich purple velvet top to add that royal texture she used to command any room. Finish the look with large gold-rimmed sunglasses and a chunky gold cuff.

For their colleague Emily, her look was always sharper and more ambitious, reflecting her drive to get to Paris. To recreate her signature vibe, go for a houndstooth-print top. Accessorize with bold, geometric gold earrings and a sharp, smokey eye.
