The LSU Tigers’ Kim Mulkey stole the show at the 2025 WNBA Draft once again with a rainbow-coloured dinner jacket as the 62-year-old NCAA coach watched Aneesah Morrow become a professional.
Mulkey, who has been in charge of the Tigers since 2021 and led them to the NCAA national championship title in 2022/23, is known for her unique approaches when it comes to dress sense.

Her blonde bob was already a highlight, but the eyes quickly turned to her outfit as her coat came together with a rainbow-coloured theme resembling ceramic tiles, or even stained glass.
She completed the look with a contrasting pink theme, that shimmered under the lights as she greeted her colleagues and friends.

“Never change for nobody. She said to continue perfecting my craft and working on my game.
