The Texas Longhorns tore up the field in a Week 11 blowout, with Quinn Ewers lighting up the Gators for 5 touchdowns in a 49-17 rout. But while the players were bringing their A-game on the field, it was Loreal Sarkisian‘s outfit off the field that was bringing all the smoke and noise. Cloaked in a skin-tight ensemble, Loreal became the unfortunate victim as the desperate Florida fans who were losing the game, as well as sleep, sought a target for their frustration. They assumed she was trolling the Gators with her bold fashion choice. But Loreal wasn’t having it at all—she had a few things to clear it.

Loreal, with her usual style and grace, took it to Instagram stories to set the record straight. “Yesterday’s outfit definitely turned heads! Thank you all for the compliments. But I noticed something funny—so many people thought my look was gator skin!” she posted. She wasn’t just gonna let these rumors slide like that. She dove into fashion icon lessons, educating followers on the difference between snake and gator textures. So let’s settle it today: “Let’s Talk Textures.”

Loreal Sarkisian schooled Gator fans on the history of alligator and snakeskin, explaining how these luxurious materials have been status symbols for centuries. “It’s a bold texture that effortlessly adds luxury and attitude,” Loreal noted. No wonder why it’s expensive and chic. Then, she got even more technical on her IG stories, “Here’s how you can tell the difference” describing how snakeskin has features like small, uniform, diamond-shaped scales, similar to her gameday outfit. She continued. “Gator leather has larger, irregular, rectangular scales that vary in size and shape, creating a bolder, more textured look.” She spoke about pattern consistency and texture feel between snakeskin and gator skin.

It was clear she loved doing this. She wasn’t just defending her fashion choices but also was giving mini-fashion lessons. Well, why wouldn’t she?
