Obsessed with Carole Baskin’s style? We rank her best ‘Tiger King’ outfits

We came to Tiger King for the majestic tigers and we stayed for the outrageous antics. Now we realize that wild animals weren’t the fiercest elements of the narrative — no, that would be the series of jaw-dropping fashion choices that would put any avant-garde clothing designer to shame. 

Joe Exotic may be crowned the tiger king but his rival, Carole Baskin is serving us some tiger queen lewks with her savage fashion sense. Draped in her “uniform” of mismatched animal print, Carole Baskin walks (and sometimes bikes) proudly in defiance of all haters, conspiracy theorists, or FBI agents. 

Take notes everybody: this is what a real fashion icon looks like. 

7. An active activist

Here we have Carole riding her bike, showing us lazy schlubs that to be a queen you have to stay fit. Notice how the bike’s print matches her pants? It’s these little details that set her apart. 

6. She’s a professional

This is a little number we like to call business up top, a party down below. 

5. Ms. Baskin goes to Washington

It takes a special kind of person to march up to Capitol Hill all decked out in animal print. She’s a gutsy lady, Carole. 

4. A casual flair

It may be a more understated look but the tiger & butterfly graphic tee is really selling it. 

3. More is more

New drinking game: take a shot for every item of animal print clothing Carole Baskin is wearing. 

2. Boho Baskin bombshell

 Is that Titania, queen of the fairies, with flowers in her hair and cheetah print on her tunic? 

1. She went full tiger
