TMZ: Palin –- The Pig Wears Valentino

[tuvor]

Sarah Palin's just your average hockey mom –- in silk shantung Valentino.

The Veep-seeker splurged for a $2,500 jacket from Saks designed by the fashion legend for her big RNC speech, reports the New York Post. It was at the urging of a team of stylists Palin's peeps have been trying to keep under the radar, so as not to confuse her hockey-mom, moose-hunting image.

The Gov's running mate's wife Cindy McCain recently took some flak for wearing big bling on stage.

1. Right, and the other day they go on Joe for wearing cuff links

No "hockey mom" or in my case, a ballet mom can afford that stuff.

2. It was ugly on her, too. I actually wondered if she was wearing a device.

The jacket was too blousy for her - it made her look truncated. I wondered if she wore such a blousy, billowy thing to cover up a transmitter or something. But maybe - probably - she just has really lousy taste.
