The Texas Longhorns' playoff journey came to an end following their 28-14 loss to the Ohio State Buckeyes in the Cotton Bowl on Jan. 10. When Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian kicks off the Arch Manning era next season, fans can expect to see his wife, Loreal Sarkisian, cheering him on at every game.

During the offseason, however, Loreal, is living her best life at Paris Fashion Week. The 39-year-old looked stunning in head-to-toe Louis Vuitton while stepping out in the City of Light and snagged a a front-row seat at the desinger's menswear collection with Pharrell Williams at the Louvre.
