Steve Sarkisian’s Wife Loreal Steals Spotlight in $11K Designer Bag & All-Denim Look

After welcoming her baby, Amays, in April, Steve Sarkisian‘s wife, Loreal, is back on the sidelines, cheering for her husband as the Texas head coach trudges through loads of criticism following week 1. She is present to support her significant other, serving fashion goals. Clad in a long, monotonous beige all-denim look, with a halter-neck, wearing a sleek straight bob cut and platform high heels, she made her appearance at the Texas Memorial Stadium. But there’s more to the highlight.

She shared her look on her IG, with an enthusiastic caption: “Happy Game Day, XOLO.” The highlight of her outfit was stolen by her Schiaparelli Face Bag, as the internet drooled over the $11,191 accessory. Crafted from brown grained calf-skin leather, accompanied by a signature anatomical jewelry forming a trompe l’oeil face, the handbag completed her outfit.

This isn’t the first time Loreal is serving red-carpet looks. Week 2 clash saw ‘The First Lady of Texas Longhorn Football’ draped in a white tank, cowboy boots, and a Longhorns cowboy hat, in a true ‘Hook’em sport. “Less of going with the flow and more of becoming it 📍XOLO 🤍.” The highlight? It was her Louis Vuitton bag that captured the Internet’s gaze.

Steve Sarkisian and Loreal Smith have been married since 2020. Although for a brief period in 2024, the duo’s relationship appeared stressed. However, they have since reconciled and welcomed their first child in April this year. Sarkisian has two other daughters, Taylor and Ashley, and a son, Brady, with his ex-partner, Stephanie.

Although the ‘First Lady of Texas Football’ is known for serving couture, she is an athlete first. “I’ve always been a part of the sports world,” she said. “I know people probably only see me as a fashionista and in the fashion industry but, for forever I was an athlete.” Loreal has always been a huge supporter of Sarkisian’s coaching journey at Austin.

Being a softball and track athlete in her childhood, and an assistant track and field coach at the University of Southern California, she is proud of her partner’s professional journey. “It matters to him. I respect it and I appreciate that, knowing how hard he works at it day in and day out,” Loreal said per WFAA.“And what it actually means to him, and especially the journey he’s been on to this day, personally and professionally.”
