Loreal Sarkisian Debuts Runway Inspired Look at Texas Game

Loreal Sarkisian brought a runway-inspired cowgirl look to the Texas Longhorns sideline on Saturday, October 10, 2026, ahead of the Red River Rivalry against the Oklahoma Sooners. The wife of Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian showcased a fashion-forward outfit that incorporated the team's signature burnt orange color for the high-profile college football matchup. According to a report published by Yahoo Sports, her ensemble featured a dramatic triple-buckle belt from Schiaparelli, leather pants from the fashion house's Fall/Winter 2025–26 runway collection, and stiletto booties by Christian Louboutin.

The combination gave her sideline appearance a distinctive cowgirl-inspired style. Loreal shared photos of the outfit on social media before kickoff Saturday afternoon, showing the look to her more than 182,000 Instagram followers, according to the report.

She incorporated Texas' burnt orange color through a top from French fashion house Hervé Léger. The color choice connected the designer outfit to the Longhorns while maintaining its runway-inspired aesthetic.

Accessories from Korman Fine Jewelry completed the ensemble, including a prominent horseshoe necklace. The jewelry added another Western-inspired element to the outfit. Loreal has become a familiar presence at Texas football games, where her sideline fashion regularly features distinctive designer pieces. Her latest appearance coincided with one of the most prominent matchups on the college football schedule during Week 6.

The Red River Rivalry featured the top-ranked Texas Longhorns and the Oklahoma Sooners, according to Yahoo Sports. The annual matchup was the central attraction of Saturday's afternoon college football schedule. Steve Sarkisian, who leads the Texas program, was also pictured with his wife in a separate photograph from November 23, 2024.
