Luigi Mangione’s court appearance sparked a fashion frenzy, leading to his sweater selling out at Nordstrom just a day later
Manhattan: So, you won’t believe what happened after Luigi Mangione showed up in court. This guy, who’s facing some serious charges, ended up becoming a fashion icon overnight.
He was there for his arraignment, dealing with some heavy stuff, including murder charges. But honestly, everyone was more focused on his burgundy sweater than the legal drama.
Turns out, that sweater was from Nordstrom, not some fancy designer brand like everyone thought. It was a washable Merino crewneck, originally priced at $89.50 but on sale for $62.65. And guess what? It sold out the very next day!
People were buzzing about it on social media, like, “No way that sweater is sold out!” It’s wild how a courtroom appearance can turn into a fashion statement.
In court, Mangione pleaded not guilty, and his lawyer was pretty vocal about the whole situation. She felt he was being treated like a spectacle, especially with all the security and the mayor showing up.
She said it was like a big show, and he didn’t deserve that kind of treatment. The judge promised they’d pick a jury carefully, and the next court date is set for February 21.
And just to add to the craziness, a dancer from “Dancing with the Stars” joked about having Mangione as a partner next season. Can you imagine?
