Seven News anchor Katrina Blowers goes viral for Marge Simpson suit

A Channel Seven newsreader has gone viral after she appeared to take fashion cues from Marge Simpson.

Brisbane anchor Katrina Blowers, 45, wore a pink blazer with black-lined lapels while presenting the nightly news last week.

Her outfit was similar to the Gucci suit famously worn by Marge to impress the other women at her country club in an episode of The Simpsons from 1996.

The similar fashion choices were noticed by members of the /r/Brisbane subreddit.

After one user asked the group ‘who wore it better?’ a Brisbane native replied: ‘Margin, without a doubt. Chanel vs K-Mart.’

Another identified Katrina’s outfit as being from the Portman label, before adding: ‘The link to Marge is amazing.

‘I only know this because I have tried this on with the matching skirt and I was like, “Whoa, corporate Barbie reporting for service.”‘

One detail-focused viewer called ‘no contest’, noting how Marge’s jacket featured notched lapels while Katrina’s boasted peaked ones.

To suggest the outfits were the same would be ‘sacrilege’, the user said.

‘Margin wore it better; it’s not even a contest,’ they added.

One user, quoting a line from The Simpsons, declared Katrina a ‘big fat phoney’ because of the differences between the designs.

Katrina, a Queenslander, anchors the 6pm nightly news for Seven News Brisbane.

The 34th season of The Simpsons can be streamed on Disney+.
