Nordstrom sweater worn by Luigi Mangione during court hearing IMMEDIATELY sells out

Luigi Mangione appeared in Manhattan Criminal Court in New York yesterday, but it wasn’t his alleged murder that got people talking; instead, his burgundy sweater took the spotlight.

The 26-year-old – who has been dubbed the “hot killer” – has been charged with the murder of UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson, who was shot dead on December 4 as he walked to a Manhattan hotel where the nation’s largest medical insurer United States was. held an investor conference.

But Mangione, who pleaded not guilty Monday to murder and terror charges, has spawned a legion of fawning fans obsessed with his good looks and fashion choices.

Last week, the Ivy League graduate gained attention online after he was spotted sporting a fresh haircut and appearing to have an eyebrow trim.

This week, his fashion choices caused a stir as he wore a crisp white collar shirt, maroon knit sweater, light gray slacks and orange shoes to the courthouse.

The Nordstrom knit sweater — which has been compared to the sweaters the Menendez brothers wore during their infamous trial — has already sold out.

Mangione’s fans immediately found the Marino crew neck top, which retails for $89.99 and is currently 30 percent off, and rushed to purchase it.

Mangione was initially believed to be wearing a $1,000 Maison Margiela jersey.

However, fashion commentator Antonio Padilla debunked this and posted his findings on X, formerly known as Twitter.

‘This isn’t Margiela. It’s a Nordstrom Merino Wool sweater he had on sale lol,” he posted, with a photo of the burgundy sweater.

At the time of publication, the sweater is no longer available in Burgundy Royale, the color Mangione wore, on Nordstrom’s website.

And X users were quick to point out that the sweater became increasingly popular after wearing it.

“They are completely sold out in burgundy,” one user commented.

“Luigi wore a Nordstrom sweater on sale and not Margiela because he is a humble and modest king,” wrote another.

“Luigi’s Nordstrom sweater is actually sold out, are you guys okay?” someone else asked.

“I saw Luigi Mangione wearing the Washable Merino Crewneck Sweater in Burgundy Royale from Nordstrom, so I bought the Washable Merino Crewneck Sweater in Burgundy Royale from Nordstrom,” another X user joked.

The alleged killer reportedly received thousands of dollars in donations and hundreds of handwritten letters while in prison, a legal insider said.

Last week, FEMAIL contacted experts following a viral tweet claiming Mangione had his eyebrows threaded with dental floss while in prison.

One user tweeted: ‘A faded and raised eyebrow in prison? They’re trying to start a revolution,” in response to before and after photos of the University of Pennsylvania graduate.

The

Kopelman Hair Restoration hair transplant surgeon Dr. Ross Kopelman, who specializes in eyebrow restoration, told DailyMail.com: ‘If the eyebrows were shaved by a barber, we would normally expect to be left with a flat, even stubble surface, especially when viewed up close.’

Dr. Kopelman explained that when trimming the eyebrows or trimming with clippers or a razor, “the result may look clean from a distance, but it lacks precise definition.”

“Threading, on the other hand, involves removing hairs at the follicle level, creating a sharper, cleaner look around the edges of the eyebrows,” Dr. Kopelman, who lives in New York, told FEMAIL.

‘This method is particularly effective for sculpting complex eyebrow shapes as it removes even the fine, fluffy hairs that are often left behind when shaving.’

‘The threading could explain the polished look of his eyebrows, although it requires skill and tools – traditionally a cotton or polyester thread twisted to pull out the hairs at the root,’ theorized Dr. Kopelman.

He added that the online claim about dental floss threading was “technically plausible” but less conventional.

“Threading relies on the friction and twisting action of the thread to pluck hairs, and dental floss, which is strong and pliable, could potentially work in a similar way,” he explained.

‘However, achieving professional thread results with floss would require significant skill and precision.

“It’s not something an average person can easily replicate, especially without prior wire experience.”

Dr. Kopelman believes that in prison, Luigi would have had to improvise with “makeshift tools,” such as “small, sharp objects for trimming or shaving eyebrows, or even fire-singed methods for burning away hair in a controlled manner.”

‘These methods can potentially result in a sleek appearance, but achieving Mangione’s level of refinement under such conditions requires creativity and expertise.’
