When Sarah Palin took the stage at a Donald Trump rally in Iowa Tuesday to endorse his candidacy for president, she was wearing her favorite fancy jacket.

Shiny and spiky, the fitted bolero appeared to be red, white, blue, perhaps gold, and yet somehow silver. It was also worn by the former candidate for vice president on CBS Sunday in November, according to an astute Twitter user.

So, you want it? The silk chiffon jacket is made by Milly, the high-end fashion company based in New York City. At time of writing, though, it was sold out on the Saks Fifth Avenue website. It appears to be from the label's 2014 line and originally retailed for $695. (We've contacted the company to confirm.)

Between August and October of 2008, the Republican National Committee spent $150,000 on Palin's wardrobe and makeup consulting according to its financial disclosure records, which perhaps explains the former Alaska governor's expensive tastes.

Don't despair, however -- the jacket is selling for $199 and $389.20 on eBay, respectively.

Seriously, Sarah Palin’s sequin fringe bolero jacket is fantastic. #CampaignFashionReport https://t.co/gPZRp3I0Ny— Maeve Reston (@MaeveReston) January 20, 2016

Is that chain mail on Sarah Palin?— Ashley Ciandella (@AshleyCiandella) January 20, 2016

Is Sarah Palin wearing a sweater made out of porcupine quills? Serious question.— Bronwen Dickey (@BronwenDickey) January 19, 2016

But you better act quick if you want to get a jump on this year's hottest, and priciest, Halloween costume.
