Get ready to drip drop some serious dough on this collaboration between Saks Fifth Avenue and Fox's mega-popular series, Empire.

The record-breaking drama and retailer just announced their exclusive partnership that will bring the show to life, via a set of curated items. Fashion brands like Boss, Dior, Marcelo Burlon and others contributed styles that closely represent the tastes of each character.

Cookie's look, for example, includes leopard-printed boots from Jimmy Choo, a bag from MCM, jewelry from Alexis Bittar and a sexy ensemble from Cushnie et Ochs.

"The influence Empire has had on so many aspects of popular culture proves it has the ingredients to become a standalone fashion brand," says Jeffrey Godsick, president of Twentieth Century Fox consumer products.

Starting Sept. 10 through Oct. 7, the show will take over Saks Fifth Avenue's New York and Beverly Hills flagship store window displays.

"The lines between fashion and entertainment are interesting," says Marc Metrick, Saks Fifth Avenue's president. "Harnessing this moment is a key underpinning to our strategy as it brings energy and uniqueness to the shopping experience at Saks."

The curated collection will be available in select stores and online at Saks.com. Watch Season 2 of Empire, premiering on Fox Sept. 23.
