LSU head coach Kim Mulkey is bringing Louisiana flair to Spokane, Washington.
Ahead of No. 3 LSU’s Sweet 16 matchup against No. 2 NC State on Friday at Spokane Arena, Mulkey debuted her latest March Madness ensemble — a black denim jacket adorned with gold florals and leaves. It wouldn’t be a Mulkey outfit without bling. Her jacket features rhinestone gems around her neck, the bottom lining and along her cuffs. Mulkey completed her look with matching jeans, black boots, her signature bob and smokey eyeshadow.
Mulkey’s sideline fits have become their own spectacle during the women’s March Madness tournament. She opted for a powder blue pantsuit during LSU’s first-round win over No. 14 San Diego State and a shimmering cerulean blue suit jacket for the Tigers’ second-round win over No. 6 Florida State.
Friday’s outfit marks a departure from blue, which has been good luck for the Tigers so far. They’ve scored 100+ points in back-to-back March Madness games for the first time in program history.
