Some three years ago, Kim Mulkey stepped onto the court in that now-iconic sequined butterfly blazer from Queen of Sparkles, and let’s just say, it was THE moment. Since then, it’s been a fashion rollercoaster every single game. We eagerly wait to see what she wears next. And does she ever disappoint? NEVER. From sky-high stilettos to blinged-out pantsuits, she has been serving looks while her squad handles business on the court. And she did it again.
LSU hit the floor against NC State, gunning for that Elite Eight spot. Obviously, their coach had to match the energy, right? After keeping it relatively tame in Baton Rouge with more lowkey American looks, Mulkey brought out the full sparkle for Spokane.
We got the first glimpse straight out of the Tigers’ spirit tunnel, leaving the team hotel. And heads were turned. The coach rocked a black denim jacket drenched in gold florals and leaves.
But would it even be a Mulkey fit without some serious bling? Of course not. Rhinestone gems lined her neckline, the hem, and her cuffs, adding that signature dazzle. She paired it with matching jeans, sleek black boots, her signature bob, and a smokey eyeshadow look to tie it all together.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. While some noted that the design had similarities to certain Asian fashion influences, the internet had another name in mind. And if you’re already thinking it—yes, you got it. Michael Jackson. The ‘King of Pop’ was famous for his bold, gold-accented outfits, and Mulkey’s look had that same energy.
Fans didn’t hold back, with one commenting, “MICHAEL JACKSON VIBE .” Another added, “She went MIKE JACK ON EM .” Mulkey surely knows how to make a statement—on and off the court. And win or lose, her fashion game stays undefeated.
