Erin Andrews Details How She Picks Out Her Sideline Fashion, Including Viral Fur Jacket: 'A Whole Coat Thing' (Exclusive)

Erin Andrews caught up with PEOPLE at Che Fico in San Francisco on Feb. 5 to celebrate the origin of her WEAR line

NEED TO KNOW

• She credited her stylist for helping her choose the bold coats she sported during NFL playoff season

• Two of Andrews' three jackets were from the outerwear line Auter, designed by Rob Zangardi

Erin Andrewsis stepping up her coat game.

The FOX Sports broadcaster tells PEOPLEat an event for her brand WEAR by Erin Andrewsin San Francisco on Feb. 5 during 2026 Super Bowl week that she can't take all the credit for her much-discussed recent sideline fashion choices — though she did have a role in at least one of the selections.

"I have a lot of help. If you saw me away from being in the public eye or mingling, I mean — " Andrews quips of her ability to pull together an outfit on her own. "I have a fantastic stylist. She really, really hit it out of the park. The coats!"

On Jan. 11, during the playoff matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and Philadelphia Eagles, Andrews sported a massive fur coat (The Fox Jacket in Sand Noir) by Rob Zangardi, who is the designer behind outwear line Auter.

"Thank you so much to Rob. He freaking killed it too," she tells PEOPLE.

In a previous interview withGlamour, Andrews said that she had "zero clue" about the social media convo about her attire until the game was over.

"I knew when my stylist, Daniela Romero, suggested I wear it that it was outside the box and super fun — and I thought Philly was the best place to do it," Andrews told the outlet of the Jan. 11 look. "I forgot I was even wearing it when I did my first hit with the NFL on FOX Pregame Show because I was so locked in."

Then, on Jan. 17, during the playoff matchup between the 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks, Andrews donned yet another Auter piece — this time a trench coat (theItalian Leather Trench).

"We kind of really screwed ourselves because we did the big fur first. Then we did the second one from Auter — the all-leather trench — and then it was NFC Championship and we were like, 'Oh no, what are we going to do?' " she recalls to PEOPLE.

"I really don't trust myself in terms of shopping or anything like that, but I found this one [for the NFC championship]. I sent it to Daniela [Romero] and she's like, 'Let's get it,' " Andrews says. "And we got it, and it was amazing. And she told me it sold out on all the places online. It was sick."

"Next year should be a whole coat thing," she jokes. "It'll be fun."

With a photo shared to her Instagram Stories, Banks revealed that the commentator and WEAR by Erin Andrews founder was her style inspiration for the day. The split image showed her in the same $950 Auter faux fur Fox Jacket by Zangardi.

No, probably not. Not right away," before going on to point out that, during Kylie and Jason's first date, he fell asleep on the table."I think after the bear incident, I was like 'Alright, there's a chance,'" Amber continued.Spurred by Amber's comment, Kylie then shared that her husband was listed in her phone contacts as Grizzly, before turning the phone to face the camera and showing the contact card she had for him.

Manchester United co-owner says UK has been 'colonized by immigrants'

British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe said on Thursday he was sorry he had offended some people by saying the country had been "colonized by immigrants", after Prime Minister Keir Starmer joined a chorus of criticism over the remarks.

Ratcliffe, one of Britain's most successful businessmen, responded to the outcry with a statement saying it was important to raise the issue of immigration, but that he regretted his "choice of language" had caused concern.

The founder of chemicals giant INEOS, and owner of nearly a third of Manchester United, had told Sky News that high migration and people living on benefits were damaging the economy.

"You can't have an economy with nine million people on benefits and huge levels of immigrants coming in. I mean, the UK has been colonized - it's costing too much money," Ratcliffe said in the interview aired on Wednesday.

"The UK has been colonized by immigrants, really, hasn't it?" he added.

Liverpool's Ryan Gravenberch celebrates scoring his team's second goal in a 2-0 win over Aston Villa at Anfield on Nov. 1. The victory ended a four-game losing streak in Premier League games for the defending champions.

Starmer said the remarks were wrong and would play into the hands of those who wanted to divide the country. Finance minister Rachel Reeves said the comments were "unacceptable" and "disgusting".

On Thursday, INEOS issued a statement from Ratcliffe in response to "reporting of his comments".

"I am sorry that my choice of language has offended some people in the UK and Europe and caused concern but it is important to raise the issue of controlled and well-managed immigration that supports economic growth," he said.

He said he wanted to stress that governments must manage migration alongside investment in skills, industry and jobs to ensure long-term prosperity is shared by everyone, and that it was "critical that we maintain an open debate on the challenges facing the UK".

Starmer's spokesperson said it was right for him to apologize. Asked if an apology about offence caused rather than the comments themselves were enough, the spokesperson said questions on the detail of the apology were for Ratcliffe.

Manchester United fans furious

His comments were condemned by politicians, campaigners and by fan groups at Manchester United, including its Muslim Supporters Club who said the term "colonized" was frequently used by far-right activists to frame migrants as invaders.

"Public discourse shapes public behaviour," the group said. "When influential figures adopt language that mirrors extremist talking points, it risks legitimizing prejudice and deepening division."

Others noted that the Manchester United first team was largely made up of international players and staff, and questioned whether Ratcliffe should be commenting on British politics when he had moved to the tax haven Monaco.

Manchester United said it prided itself on being an inclusive and welcoming club.

"Our diverse group of players, staff and global community of supporters, reflect the history and heritage of Manchester; a city that anyone can call home," the club said in a statement.

Before Ratcliffe's response, The Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham said Ratcliffe's comments were inflammatory and should be withdrawn.
