5 stylish looks of soccer players at the past Ballon d’Or ceremony

On October 17, the traditional award ceremony of the French edition of France Football “Golden Ball” took place in Paris. This is one of the most prestigious awards, so this evening to visit the Parisian theater “Chatelet” gathered both current and already finished career soccer players and their families.

Gala events are a rare opportunity to see footballers in classic evening looks, so they approach the choice of outfits very responsibly. We have chosen five footballers who shone in particularly stylish clothes.

It’s unexpected to see some athletes in classic suits, and they themselves seem uncomfortable in the strict dress code of black-tie.

Karim Benzema

The winner of the top award this year won it for the first time. The French striker chose a classic tuxedo for the occasion, which he diluted with memorable details.

Karim Benzema

Firstly, collector’s glasses from Jean Paul Gaultier as a tribute to his favorite performer – Tupac Shakur. Recently, the footballer announced the soon cooperation with the brand – we are waiting for personalized glasses from JPG and Benzema. Secondly, a gold bracelet from Cartier and a Richard Mille watch. And thirdly, a fabric choker on his shirt – another reference to Tupac.

Elena: An unusual detail on the athlete’s neck – a black fabric choker on top of a white shirt – added informality to the traditional tuxedo. Although it looks unexpected, this outfit suits the soccer player very well.

Who certainly did not doubt the Frenchman’s victory is adidas, which the day after the award presented a new mini-collection in honor of the athlete’s victory.

As part of the project, they made special boots for Karim, in which he will go to the next match.

Karim is one of the most stylish footballers of our time. We wrote about it in our stylish athlete resume.

Thibaut Courtois

The Belgian goalkeeper, who won this year’s Lev Yashin trophy as the best goalkeeper of the year, took the stage in a total black Dolce & Gabbana look.

For the footballer picked up a classic tuxedo with wide lapels, which was complemented with a shirt and satin bowtie in color, as well as classic derby shoes.

Kevin De Bruyne

Elena: “The whole family dresses in dark colors,” said Kevin, and his housemates easily supported him.

A black tuxedo combined with a black shirt contrasts well with the athlete’s blond hair, and the same impression of his blond sons in black sweatshirts.

Massive black boots, rather than classic shoes, added freedom to the image of the footballer.

And the wife, dressed in a leather jacket with loose shoulders, as if hinting that the merits of the husband are always the merits of the wife. This family is adorable, the family look is always a good touch.

Sadio Mane

Elena: The Senegalese footballer – a lover of unusual extravagant outfits – again did not stay in the shadows. He chose an unusual suit for the ceremony. The long shirt resembled a national dress, decorated with decorative stitching, and narrow pants gave even more zest.

The bluish-steel shade and soft material from which the suit is made make us think that the hero is comfortable at the ceremony as at home. By the way, by the same principle, the footballer chose his shoes – he complemented his suit with classic black sneakers with white soles.

Zinedine Zidane

The legendary French footballer chose an elegant navy blue suit made of material with a slight shine for his appearance at the award ceremony. The suit is complemented with a snow-white shirt and a wide tie in retro style. The whole image looks very harmonious and turns the coach into a movie star.

The three-piece suit as a weekend option is relevant for not the first season. It is justified, such a suit successfully sits on the figure and looks very spectacular.
