Loreal Sarkisian reached the big 3-9 on October 12 and despite her birthday crisis, she committed a big fashion faux pas with her dress. Now we know why.

The “First Lady of Texas Longhorns Football” for her wedding to head coach Steve Sarkisian, had one hell of an anniversary week in fashion by stunning first in the ultimate all-white cut before releasing the viral leopard print birthday dress. She showed off more of this look on her Instagram again.

Loreal took to Instagram and explained why she chose to wear the same design for her birthday as the week before, as well as the hidden meaning behind it.

“Leopard print is considered a “neutral” piece of clothing that never really goes out of style! Designers bring it back year after year, updating it with new touches, but it remains a timeless staple because it can be paired with almost anything,” said Loreal.

“Don’t be afraid to embrace leopard print as a bold statement piece! It is known to give those who wear it a boost of confidence, and because it is such a statement pattern, it instantly elevates any outfit. Wearing leopard print is about tapping into your inner confidence: whether in a dress, coat or accessory, it sends a message of power, playfulness and unapologetic style. So go ahead and personalize it, knowing that this pattern is not only trendy; It’s iconic!

This is truly an iconic look and a bold statement she made. “Contagious,” she said, posting another look:

It was a great birthday for Loreal, who even got the Steve’s “best gift”. Loreal continues to crush its form game as the calendar turns to November and will no doubt continue to do so. And now we know more about her birthday dress and it makes sense.
