Laura Rutledge really nails it as a pro in the world of sports reporting.
This veteran ESPN star, who graduated from the University of Florida, has built a solid reputation in the industry. These days, you can catch her hosting “NFL Live” on ESPN almost daily, as well as helming the SEC Network’s college football pregame shows. To top it off, she’s been making headlines as a sideline reporter for “Monday Night Football.”
However, despite her extensive experience and large fanbase, some of her recent outfit choices for “Monday Night Football” have drawn some fire. This week wasn’t the exception, particularly with her look at the San Francisco 49ers versus Carolina Panthers game.
On Monday evening, the 37-year-old took the stage in a sleek custom blue suit, proudly giving a shoutout to her designer on Instagram.
Her blue pinstripe suit featured a light blue dress shirt that she donned confidently.
The designer was thrilled with the outcome, saying, “I feel lucky to have had a hand in styling and creating suits for Laura Rutledge.”
She added, “Calling her beautiful inside and out is an understatement.”
But let’s be real—it’s not all praise. Some viewers were less than impressed with her Monday night look.
Fans Share Their Thoughts on Rutledge’s Outfit
A number of fans voiced displeasure over Rutledge’s outfit, labelling it as old-school and lacking freshness.
One commenter noted, “While Laura Rutledge is young, she certainly has had a few looks that feel more (caught in) a time warp. This outfit is definitely a swing and a miss for someone as established as her in the sportscasting world!” Another fan mentioned some questions that need discussing regarding her suit’s lapel design.
“Hey fashion police, we need to talk. Plus, Laura Rutledge has these two empty buttonholes in her lapel. What’s the deal?” they tweeted.
Let’s be real; Laura Rutledge is on ESPN for her skills, not her wardrobe choices. Nevertheless, what are your thoughts on her outfit this past Monday night?
