In most cases, the stars being drafted wear the best outfits and stylish attire on their draft night. This is no different in the WNBA. The only issue — they had to contend against LSU head coach and fashion icon Kim Mulkey.

Of course, she showed up in the most fashionable attire she could. She wore just about every color in the rainbow along her sparkled, stained-glass esque jacket. Check out her outfit below — you can’t miss it:

Mulkey is known for her one of a kind fashion sense, and isn’t afraid to wear the most outlandish, yet stylish outfits to each game she coaches in. It’s something she’s done for years, and most likely won’t stop anytime soon.

Kim Mulkey was in the building in support of her star player Aneesah Morrow. Morrow, a 6-foot-1 forward, spent her last two seasons in college with LSU. She originally started her career at DePaul but transferred after he first two seasons. She was eventually selected seventh overall by the Connecticut Sun.

She was elite for LSU, though. And she did it playing on a squad full of stars. Morrow averaged a double-double in every single season she played in college, a remarkable feat. During her senior season with the Tigers, Morrow averaged 18.7 points and 13.5 rebounds per game.

Morrow isn’t the only former LSU player to be selected during Monday night’s draft. Hailey Van Lith, who played one season for the Tigers before transferring to TCU where she put up even stronger numbers as a fifth-year player, was selected 11th overall to the Chicago Sky and will team up with former LSU star Angel Reese in the pro’s.

Van Lith rose to prominence while with Louisville. Then, she took her talents to LSU, where she was part of one of the top teams in the sport during the 2023-24 season. Finally, the star guard spent her final season with TCU, where she truly came into her own and showed the world what she could do as a leader on the court.

Van Lith helped guide TCU to the Elite Eight, averaging 17.9 points, 5.4 assists and 4.6 rebounds per game, while becoming the general of a historic team for the program. Of course, this came after she spent three seasons making a name for herself with the Louisville Cardinals. Her legacy is secure, and now she’ll be hoping to cultivate a new road for herself in the WNBA.
