USA Breaks Up With The Starter Wife
Uh-oh, Starter Wife fans — it looks like this is the end of the road for Molly Kagen. USA has decided not to renew Debra Messing's show for a second season.
When it aired as a miniseries in the Summer of 2007, The Starter Wife was an unquestioned success, garnering 10 Emmy nominations and getting as many as 5 million viewers (though it was closer to 3 million by the end).

In the ninth episode of the season, Debra Messing as Molly Kagan wears a chic ensemble grounded in reds and blacks. She pairs a wrap top (shop an option from Dillards) with satin pants, and tops it off with a big circular necklace. Get a similar look now.

Debra Messing wears pops of color and a striking hat in this episode of The Starter Wife. It's a fun ensemble, one that you re-create with the items here. And if you just pick one, splurge for the teal trench.

You might be distracted by Molly Kagan's traffic safety vest, but underneath it she's still looking fashionable as ever. Since the vest is so bright, she kept the rest of the outfit more subtle. To get her look, pair wide leg trousers with a scoop-neck sweater and silver accessories.

Molly Kagan looks like a screen goddess in this very put-together look. Her top is from Ralph Lauren (shop the silver option), while her skirt is custom made (the Barneys option will do). A Betsey Johnson belt and Tory Burch bag complete Molly's movie-star ensemble.

Molly Kagan has two very distinct looks in this episode of The Starter Wife: work and play. Here Molly has fun in the snow wearing a turtleneck from Theory and boots from Mukluk while keeping her hands warm in a Chanel muffler. Steal Molly's ski look now.

In the third episode, Molly Kagan looks ready for work with her hair in a simple ponytail and her polished, classic outfit. To copy Molly's look, pair a sleeveless turtleneck (like the one from JCPenney) with black trousers and gold accessories.

Debra Messing simply glows as Molly Kagan, partially thanks to her amazing wardrobe. For this scene, Molly has on a skirt and turtleneck both from Ralph Lauren, a necklace from Kara Ross, and a bracelet and ring by Lauren Wolf. Her bag is by Lambertson Truex, but it isn't available online.

Molly goes shoe shopping in style in the first episode of The Starter Wife. She's got a great pair of shoes to begin with, boots from Christian Louboutin, but one can never have enough. With the Loubs, she wears jeans from 7 For All Mankind, a Michael Kors turtleneck, and a Phillip Lim blazer.
Will You Watch the Series Version of The Starter Wife?
USA's The Starter Wife returns to TV tonight, this time as a full-fledged series instead of the fun, if fluffy, miniseries that aired back in '07.
Debra Messing is back as Molly Kagan, striking out on her own and trying to decide whether she can really become a writer now that she's free from the clutches of her ex-husband (now played by David Alan Basche, since Peter Jacobson is otherwise occupied). Also returning are Molly's two best friends, Joan (Judy Davis, who won an Emmy for her role) and Rodney (Chris Diamantopoulos), along with a cast of new supporting characters.
