If there is one thing LSU Women’s basketball head coach Kim Mulkey knows how to do besides winning (and retaining a major ego), it is pulling off showstopper looks courtside. You might have seen a couple of her looks already on social media since she happens to be trending on TikTok. Most of her outfits contain a statement blazer, sweater, or business-approved high heels.
The Lady Tigers’ coach is winning both on the court, and in her closet. According to WBRZ, Queen of Sparkles boutique owner and designer Jamie Glas is responsible for designing some of her most iconic pieces. Kim Mulkey is clearly not a minimalist when it comes to her fashion choices, making statements with every new look. Additionally, statements are also made on the court, with her team holding a record of 24-1 and placing 2nd in the SEC thus far.

Kim Mulkey prefers to wear heels over any other footwear while coaching, giving her the unofficial title of best-dressed women’s coach. She wears satirical pieces adorned with sequin-embellished tigers that complement her team. Sequins are not the only material Mulkey is accustomed to sporting. Feathers seem to be her other best friend, wearing several pieces with feathers attached to the sleeves. “As far as the clothes are concerned, I have lots of friends. People know I love to dress up and they will see something in the stores and buy it and bring it by the house. I’ll either like it or I won’t like it. If I do, I’ll give them a check for it. I really don’t know all the new styles. I leave that up to people much more knowledgeable than me. If it just feels good and looks good on me, I wear it.” Kim Mulkey tells The Advocate.
There is no question that her bold style choice coincides with her bold personality when coaching. On February 12th, the LSU Tigers faced their biggest challenge of the season playing the South Carolina Gamecocks. Although they lost by a tremendous 24 points, Mulkey never doubted the team. She maintained high spirits throughout the duration of the game. All in all, Kim Mulkey has remained a prominent figure in women’s college basketball and has now reached full-fledged fashion icon status.
