Erin Andrews’ massive faux fur coat nearly stole the spotlight during Sunday’s NFC wild-card clash between the 49ers and Eagles.
The veteran Fox Sports sideline reporter, 47, got the meme treatment online for her dramatic black and white coat at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, with some likening Andrews’ ensemble to “The Hundred and One Dalmatians” villain Cruella de Vil.
“Erin Andrews wore this knowing full well she was gonna become a meme,” one person wrote on X.
“I can’t focus on what Erin Andrews is saying because I’m mesmerized by her coat,” another added.
One X user also remarked, “Erin Andrews killed a flock of emus for that coat.”
Andrews has yet to address the buzz.
The “Calm Down” podcast host wore The Fox Jacket in the color Sand Noir by Auter, a luxury outerwear brand that specializes in animal-free furs.
The $950 jacket, which includes an oversized shawl collar, is sold out on Auter’s website as of Monday.
Andrews paired her coat with leather pants, gloves and black boots for the frigid afternoon in Philadelphia, where the game-time temperatures were in the 30s, and strong winds were visibly blowing the fur on her jacket.
At one point, a blue medical tent blew over on the 49ers’ sideline.
The underdog 49ers beat the reigning Super Bowl champion Eagles, 23-19, even after losing All-Pro tight end George Kittle to a torn Achilles in the second quarter.
The 49ers visit the top-seeded Seattle Seahawks in an NFC divisional playoff game on Saturday.
