The first three episodes of the fifth and final season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel came out on Friday, and Rachel Brosnahan celebrated the cast with a takeover of her character Midge’s favorite store – Saks Fifth Avenue.
After starting their day off by ringing the opening bell of the New York Stock Exchange, the cast headed to the Miracle Mile as part of Amazon Prime’s Masiel Tov campaign.
The streamer took over not just Saks, but an entire mile of the iconic street, rolling out the pink carpet and transforming it into scenes from the series’ iconic moments.
Brosnahan, 32, looked beautiful in a unique red, white, black and pink plaid look with a Catholic schoolgirl style skirt with an asymmetrical hemline, a short white button-down shirt that showed off a hint of her stomach, a plaid tie and an elbow-length blazer.
One side and one sleeve – on either side – seemed to be the fabric turned inside out. The actress paired the look with white round socks and black high-heeled slippers.

On a previous appearance on the Today Show, Rachel talked about what she learned from playing the housewife turned comedian.
“That no one else can believe in you if you don’t believe in yourself,” she said.
“I learned that I could do things I never thought I could do on this show,” the Blacklist actress added. “So I hope I can hold on to a little bit of that as we go forward with this chapter.”
“It was all in there,” Rachel said ET. “I was so intimidated because we haven’t worked together since we met, ten years ago I think now, so I was really nervous for him to see me do this up close and come into my world, but it was amazing . ‘

“When we were shooting the show, we sometimes spent more time with our crew and the cast than with our families, so it was great to have him around,” she added.
Ralph first played Mike Carr during season four and is a series regular in the fifth and final season.
Rachel playfully referred to the animosity between their on-screen characters as “therapy.”
“We should be so mean to each other at work and call it a job,” she said. “We had a lot of fun.”
