Six fashionable footballers with enviable off-pitch style

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.

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.

Amira Al-Zuhair stars in Dolce & Gabbana campaign

DUBAI: Saudi-French model Amira Al-Zuhair stars in a new campaign for Italian luxury label Dolce & Gabbana.

The Ramadan campaign sees the rising model show off a silver, floor-length gown against a backdrop of desert dunes.

It is not the only seasonal campaign the model has starred in as of late — in early February, she took to Instagram to share shots from a Ramadan photoshoot for Italian brand Loro Piana.

Al-Zuhair has begun the year with a series of high-profile appearances. In addition to the Loro Piana campaign, she walked the runway at Jacquemus’ Fall/Winter 2026 “Le Palmier” show in Paris last month.

The event, staged at the Musee National Picasso, brought Simon Porte Jacquemus’ latest co-ed collection to life with playful yet sculptural silhouettes, blending mid-century couture references and 1990s sensibilities.

“Merci infiniment Simon. It was an honor to be part of this iconic show with such an amazing team, congratulations! Thank you for having me,” posted Al-Zuhair.

The model closed a segment of the show in an ensemble that captured the collection’s nod to both elegant simplicity and bold form.

She wore a black midi skirt with a structured blazer top with cutout detail at the back, cinched at the waist with a wide belt. The look was completed with a wide-brimmed hat that added a touch of drama.

The Jacquemus presentation, which also acted as the finale of Paris Men’s Fashion Week, wove together confetti-like motifs, geometric forms and a celebration of joie de vivre, encapsulating Jacquemus’ irreverent yet refined vision ahead of the upcoming couture season.

Al-Zuhair, born in Paris to a French mother and Saudi father, has appeared on the runway for renowned fashion houses.

She has walked for Missoni, Maison Alaia, Brunello Cucinelli, Balmain, Dolce & Gabbana, Giambattista Valli, Giorgio Armani, Elie Saab and more.

In addition to her runway appearances, Al-Zuhair has featured in campaigns for brands including Prada, Chanel and Carolina Herrera.
