Fashion designer Marc Jacobs has said in a podcast interview that he would be willing to style Luigi Mangione, the man accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, for his upcoming trial, praising his sense of style. The comments have drawn attention because Mangione, who has admitted to the killing, has attracted a following online, and Jacobs's remarks were seen by some as lending fashion credibility to a high-profile murder defendant ahead of proceedings.

Fox News noted reaction from criminal defence attorney Donna Rotunno, who represented Harvey Weinstein and never repeated an outfit during his trial, and who said that while courtroom fashion does matter, she found the public support for Mangione "sad". The article situates Jacobs's comments within wider discussion of courtroom style and the case's unusual level of public fascination, though it does not report a trial date or further detail from Jacobs himself.
