How She Got the Coat
Erin Andrews explained that she was gifted the coat from Rob Zangardi, the founder of Auter. “I didn’t know that was the one I was getting,” she said. “I thought I was getting a different one.”
Andrews went on to gush that Zangardi dresses “the biggest stars,” including Hailee Steinfeld, Jennifer Lopez, Mila Kunis, Gwen Stefani, Kerry Washington and more. When Andrews’ friend suggested that she wear one of the designer’s coats for the game, she agreed that she would if he had “something available.” She trusted Zangardi to pick the piece out for her.

Fans can preorder the exact look that Andrews wore, Fox Jacket in Sand Noir, for $995 at auterwear.com. It’s expected to ship in April.
Is Erin Andrews’ Coat Real Fur?
Andrews ensured her audience that she does not wear real fur. “What world do you guys live in, by the way, that you think as animal lovers, [I would wear real fur],” she said. “I’m not wearing real fur, you moron! I started an animal sanctuary!” (Andrews previously opened a sanctuary, Erin’s Farm, that rescues animals and gives them homes.) “Where are the puppies?” she joked in a Cruella de Vil voice.
Dressing Up for Games
Andrews shared that she’s not one to usually get so glammed up for a football game.
“Listen, this is a girl that walks around with a Tumi backpack and a North Face and a ski suit every week,” she said. “I knew it was freaking fun, and fashionable and outside the box for me. I was like this is fun and I’m actually proud of myself because you know I’m super safe, within the box, and I was like, ‘This is fun! F*** it!’”
While wearing the coat, Andrews gushed that she fit right in with stylish fans and WAGs. “Walking out in Philly and those gals in the stands are dressed to the nines,” she explained. “A lot of them are down on the field and they are in their fur. I was jumping right in and really feeling my Philly self. I just wanted a European cigarette.”
After going viral, Andrews shared that a flight attendant recognized her and told her that she “better” see that coat on her again.
