LSU coach Kim Mulkey's outfit for Final Four features pink flowers, matches granddaughter

DALLAS – On the Final Four stage, you know Kim Mulkey's outfit was going to pop.

And it certainly pops.

For LSU women's basketball's Final Four showdown against Virginia Tech inside American Airlines Center on Friday night (6 p.m., ESPN), Mulkey decided to go with a vibrant pink jacket accented by large, pink fabric flowers running from the shoulders down to the wrists on both arms.

She's wearing a white blouse and pants underneath her jacket, along with white heels. Mulkey is matching with her granddaughter, who walked into the arena hand-in-hand with Mulkey wearing a white dress with pink frills on the shoulders.

Mulkey took the dais for the Tigers' practice day press conference donning a black Final Four cowboy hat.

Since the start of the NCAA Tournament, LSU's second-year coach's gameday attire has become one of the talks of women's college basketball as many have asked "What is Kim Mulkey wearing?"
