He wore movie-star-sized sunglasses, a tan scarf around his head and a winter coat on a warm day. But his motive Saturday morning was not high fashion, it was disguise.
At about 9:20 a.m., a man dressed as a woman walked into the Capital One bank at 3540 St. Charles Ave. and handed a teller a note demanding money, according to a news release from the FBI's New Orleans office.
The man was handed an undisclosed amount of money, which he put into a black zippered portfolio, and walked out of the bank, according to the FBI.
Bank surveillance cameras captured the robbery. A photo released by the FBI shows the man wearing glasses, a headscarf and a thick coat with a fur or feathered collar. He also wore gloves with fur or feathers around the wrist and a tan calf-length skirt with black specks.
The FBI described the robber as light-skinned, between 20 and 30 years old, and between 5-foot-8 and 6 feet tall with a thin build.
The same bank was robbed in March. Police arrested Dornelius Brown, 19, in that heist, and he has a federal trial scheduled for next month
