Fashion Month has only just ended, and Loreal Sarkisian is making a bigger splash than ever before. We’re lounging in first class, flying from London to Milan to Paris, despite some of the most sought-after shows in the world going down. It’s like every time you opened Instagram she was always seated in the front row for some luxury brand fashion show slaying it. If you’ve been following her story, she has been extremely transparent about her life and it can be somewhat enviable.

But here’s where things get really interesting. Loreal did not only bring us an amazing fashion tour, but she also left us with an emotional Instagram story. She wrote, “Fashion Month has been an absolute dream! From London to Milan to Paris, I’ve had the honor of attending some of the most iconic shows, witnessing the incredible upcoming collections from the world’s top luxury brands.” She’s not just flexing; she’s explaining how this has created something new for her as a stylist. “I can’t wait to share the trends, looks, and styling tips with all of you,”  she added. Talk about a glow-up!

To the woman who was formerly known, as “The First Lady of Texas Longhorns Football,” Loreal is building her niche. Yes, she used to be married to Texas Longhorns coach Steve Sarkisian, but that marriage was dissolved back in July. Now? It is just her story of fashion. Now it’s the catwalks that can’t get enough of her style, but let’s be truthful and say that those of you who watch Longhorn’s games have seen her on the sidelines, right in her fashionable outfits.

Loreal Sarkisian’s passion for empowering women extends beyond dressing them – philanthropy through the XOLO Foundation. Established to encourage society, particularly young women, the foundation has its premise in attributing beauty to the characterization. This is not beauty in the customary sense, but beauty in such ways as to boost morale, health, and self-esteem. For Loreal and with XOLO, the current call is to reclaim self-esteem, to establish that one is more than a number and it is okay to be unique.

Loreal Sarkisian: From the sidelines to the front row

The foundation through the help of Loreal sponsors mentorship classes and workshops aimed at empowering an individual. Fashion or a life coach, ultimately, XOLO offers instruments for mental, emotional, and, in fact, spiritual transformation. This is a whole different approach that complements the concept ideal for Loreal for she has had self-discovery, and she wanted to impact others. Through her stories, she reminds the world that being empowered means to be who you are and that applies both to fashion and to charity, which Loreal also represents.

Her time in Europe wasn’t just about soaking up the fashion, though. Loreal went back on Instagram without makeup this time after visiting her preferred spa during her time at Austin. Prior, she was posting sponsored content about her acne problems, while lately she is posting about confidence and being proud of her skin. Of course, it is quite obvious that Loreal is experiencing a flourishing fashion career at the moment and she is happy to encourage people—through fashion or beauty.

But let me just clarify, this woman’s road is not only navigable through the fashion ramp. Loreal is an old track and field athlete of North Carolina A&T and has competed in the semifinals of the U.S. Olympic trial of the year 2023. She has the credentials including MEAC Woman of the Year and coaching a team at USC. To be sure, she’s not just some ex-wife of Steve, but she seems to be laying the foundation for her empire.

Now that Loreal is back stateside, the question is will we see her at the Texas vs Oklahoma game on October 12? If her recent fashion tour is anything to go by she’ll be stunning in another fabulous outfit. And given her penchant for fashion she’s bound to come up with something that will not be easily forgotten.
