Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham won his first UEFA Champions League trophy on Saturday defeating his former side Borussia Dortmund 2-0 at the Wembley Stadium in London. This is the perfect end to a spectacular first season for Bellingham at Real Madrid. The English midfielder played an integral role throughout the season as Los Blancos completed the league and European double.
“I have always dreamed of playing in these games. You go through life and there are so many people who say you cannot do things. Days like today remind you why you do it. It’s hard at times and you wonder whether it’s worth it but nights like tonight make you realize.” said Bellingham. “It’s the best night of my life” he added.
Apart from football, Bellingham is known for his keen interest in fashion and makes himself look impeccable when not in his trainers. Football and fashion is known for its partnerships through sponsorship deals and footballers around the world are seen wearing some of the stylish drips impressing everyone off-field.
In an interview with Topps UK, Bellingham said “That would have to be Louis Vuitton, probably the best around the minute” when asked about his favorite fashion brand. It was an ‘answer fans question’ segment. The $401.96B brand is a preferred go-to fashion brand for many footballing stars around the world.
During last year’s Fashion Week at the French capital, Bellingham, along with his International teammate Marcus Rashford, dressed in the very finest haute couture. They were attending the Louis Vuitton Menswear spring/summer 2024 show. The duo were among many stars from around the world and were sitting next to Jaylon Brown of the Boston Celtics. Bellingham was dressed in a pajama suit consisting of a flocked jacket with matching pants. Baroque loafers also added to his charisma as the Real Madrid star with a pair of LV 1.1 Millionaires Infinity Dots sunglasses. The overall outfit was claimed to be around £6,000.
Louis Vuitton had launched a campaign that starred footballing icons Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi dubbed ‘Victory Is a State of Mind’ which made its debut ahead of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. In the photograph, Ronaldo and Messi were seen squaring off in a game of chess on a Louis Vuitton Damier attaché case. This campaign wasn’t the first of such kind as Pele, Maradona, and Zinedine Zidane also featured in one such campaign during the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.
