The first time LSU women's basketball coach Kim Mulkey ventured into the sparkle queendom, she ripped her blazer.
Remember that iconic white blazer with butterflies Mulkey wore last season? That was her first game-day outfit from Baton Rouge designer Jaime Glas' burgeoning clothing line, Queen of Sparkles. Glas didn't know Mulkey would be wearing her product until she received a flood of messages during that December 2021 game.
"I was just like, 'Wow,'" said Glas, 34, an LSU graduate and ardent Tigers fan. "That's what opened my eyes to her as, 'This woman is here. She's not playing around.'"
Glas soon got a call from the owner of the local boutique where one of Mulkey's staffers had selected the butterfly blazer for LSU's flamboyant coach to wear.
Mulkey works the sideline like a tigress, and she had ripped the blazer Glas was gold. Could the legendary coach get another?
"That was her first step into the world of sparkles," Blas told me this week. "She wore that, and from then it was like "game on".
From butterfflies to glitter and rhinestone to polka dots, Mulkey shimmers on the sideline. Most of her game-day outfits are from Glas' clothing line.
Glas is a former Chevron petroleum engineer turned fashion entrepreneur. She's one of two Baton Rouge fashionistas who are behind Mulkey's threas that ae turning heads throughout LSU's run to Championship.
