I’m kicking off my Empire season 2 fashion coverage by identifying the white ribbed sweater and matching ribbed dress Anika Calhoun (Grace Gealey) wore in the first episode “The Devils Are Here.” Boo Boo Kitty returned as her devilish debutante self in a $1,147.67 Gucci White Viscose Ribbed Cardigan paired with a $1,535.39 Gucci White Viscose Ribbed Dress, both still available at Profile.

RVN has their $298 Cap-Sleeve Fit & Flare Dress with the following specs: crew neckline, cap sleeves, fitted top, flared skirt and slipover style.

Line came through with an even cheaper option for under $100: their $69.50 Ticker Ribbed Fit-and-Flare Dress in White. It boasts a scoop neckline, fit-and-flare silhouette, and a sleeveless, pullover style.

It’s true Theory‘s $265 Rulidia Ribbed Cardigan is a near dupe for Anika’s Gucci sweater.
However, this $34.98 August Silk Long-Sleeve French-Dot Cardigan from Macy’s is a nice (and budget-friendly) alternative.
Also worn in the trailer: a  $69.90 yellow Zara Shift Dress (still available for $19.99 in orange).

It’s sold out on the site but you can, of course, try your hand at snagging one on eBay. Perhaps this Oasis Shift Dress from Asos will do?
