LSU women’s basketball coach Kim Mulkey has built a reputation for show-stopping outfits.
In Sunday’s win over Auburn, Mulkey donned a black shirt surrounded by a basketball hoop and rim. She completed the look with red pants and heels.
The ensemble sent college basketball and LSU fans into a frenzy on social media as users voiced their opinions. Some welcomed the unique showing as Mulkey outdoing herself yet again while others were scratching their heads.
Mulkey’s outfit was fitting for the theme of Sunday’s game. The Tigers promoted the contest as their “Dress like Kim Mulkey” game, encouraging fans to sport outfits inspired by the legendary head coach. The winner of the contest received a game-worn jacket from Mulkey and the theme earned national attention.
How did social media react to Mulkey’s outfit?
One surprised fan said, “You truly never know what Kim Mulkey will be wearing when she walks out that tunnel.”
USA Today writer Meghan L. Hall said, “Is that a basketball hoop WITH the net? Tremendous.”
“Kim Mulkey literally is a walking bucket today,” Barstool Sports wrote.
A college basketball reporter said, “Anyone who bumps into Kim Mulkey today is getting called for basket interference.”
An LSU fan wrote, “Kim Mulkey is one of maybe three people in the world who can wear that.”
One X user was left “speechless” after seeing Mulkey’s outfit while another claimed it may be her “wildest outfit yet.”
