Six fashionable footballers with enviable off-pitch style

  • Some of these fashionable players have gone viral online

DUBAI: These suave players are known for their on-pitch prowess, as well as their off-duty designer duds.

Cristiano Ronaldo

He just scored a hat trick in Portugal’s opening World Cup match against Spain, but the handsome footballer is as famous for his off-the-pitch style as his dribbling finesse. He is regularly photographed wearing sharp suits and even has his own denim brand, CR7. The brand boasts four types of jeans for men, which are designed to suit nearly all body shapes and style preferences.

Sergio Ramos

He may have been villainized across the Arab world for injuring Mohamed Salah at the Champions League final in May, but the Spanish defender deserves credit for his impeccable style. He usually covers up his back-full of tattoos with tailored suits and even boasts a man bag or two.

Paul Pogba

He is known for his ever-changing hairstyles, but the France and Manchester United center midfielder has an easygoing fashion style. He even teamed up with Adidas to launch his new range of apparel earlier this year.

Neymar

The Brazilian striker is known for his signature accessory, the bandanna. He is a fan of edgy styles, bright blazers and boasts an almost old-school hip hop vibe. From leopard print to chunky diamond earrings, there is nothing subtle about this footballer’s off-duty style.

James Rodriguez

Snug leather jackets, denim and sculpted, slicked-back hair — the Columbian footballer is known for his never-out-of-place hair do and urban style. Head over to his Instagram account, @jamesrodriguez10, to see a swoon-worthy snap of the well-heeled Columbian team as they landed in Russia.

Aquí vamos, here we go!!

The Iranian national team

They have caused quite a meltdown on social media over the past few days and it’s easy to see why. The impeccable suits, glorious beards and slicked-back hair of Iran’s World Cup team have led a snap of the players to go viral online.

Coach taps Elyanna for Spring 2026 campaign

  • Chilean Palestinian singer also fronted firm last year
  • Star has made a donation to World Food Programme

DUBAI: Chilean Palestinian singer Elyanna is fronting yet another campaign for Coach, this time an “Express Your Many Sides” Spring 2026 initiative unfolding exclusively in the Middle East.

Across the campaign images, the focus is placed on the US fashion house’s leather bags, shown in a range of shapes and sizes.

Elyanna is pictured carrying the Tabby 26, distinguished by its structured flap silhouette and signature metal “C” hardware, presented in a warm maple tone.

Other styles include a compact shoulder bag with a curved profile and a larger, softer leather bag designed to sit under the arm. The bags appear in smooth and lightly grained leather finishes, styled in both light and darker colorways.

In the images, Elyanna’s wardrobe is kept understated to complement the accessories. She wears lightweight layers, including fitted long-sleeve tops paired with sleeveless vests and fluid trousers in neutral shades.

She also appears in a sheer, pale green dress layered over a long-sleeve base, patterned with small heart motifs.

Last year, Elyanna was the face of Coach’s Ramadan 2025 campaign. She was seen against a desert-inspired backdrop, styled in pieces that blended contemporary fashion with cultural influences.

The music sensation also carried Coach’s signature handbags, each featuring the gold chain accents.

Elyanna said in a statement: “Working with Coach again felt natural because it’s a brand I love and connect with in terms of lifestyle and expression.

“We’re aligned in our values, and it was great to be a part of it again for another year because it continues to reflect that alignment. I was also able to donate to the World Food Programme through our partnership once more, which means so much to me.”

Elyanna has been normalizing Arabic lyrics in the Western world throughout her career, taking inspiration from artists including Lana Del Ray and Beyonce, as well as Middle Eastern legend Fayrouz.

The Los Angeles-based singer’s music is a mix of Arabic and Western beats, which she attributes to her multicultural upbringing.

Her debut album “Woledto,” released in 2024, featured nine songs: “Woledto,” “Ganeni,” “Calling U,” “Al Sham,” “Mama Eh,” “Kon Nafsak,” “Lel Ya Lel,” “Yabn El Eh” and “Sad in Pali.”
