The Best Fashion Moments at The 2026 World Cup Final
The World Cup final may have been decided on the pitch, but there was just as much excitement taking place in the stands. As Spain and Argentina faced each other in New Jersey, the stadium quickly became one of the most star-studded, and stylish, events of the summer.
From reworked football shirts to elevated sportswear, the celebrity guests proved that supporting your team no longer means sacrificing personal style. The final brought together some of the biggest names in fashion, film and music, including Beyoncé and Jay-Z, Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet, Victoria and David Beckham, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, and Dua Lipa and Callum Turner.
Here are the fashion moments that caught our attention…
Luciana Damon’s Reworked Argentina Jersey
Luciana Damon found the perfect balance between football fan and fashion girl by transforming her Argentina shirt into a cropped top. Attending alongside her husband Matt Damon, she proved that the easiest way to make a traditional football jersey feel personal is to play with its proportions.
The cropped silhouette gave the otherwise relaxed shirt a more considered feel while still making her support for Argentina clear. It was simple, playful and incredibly easy to recreate, exactly the kind of styling trick that turns supporter merchandise into an actual outfit.
Shakira’s Crystal-Covered Halftime Look
Unsurprisingly, Shakira delivered the most dramatic fashion moment of the day. For the first World Cup final halftime show, the singer wore a custom Roberto Cavalli two-piece designed by Fausto Puglisi.
Decorated with more than 200,000 Swarovski crystals, the outfit featured a vibrant print combining shades of orange, pink and yellow. A fringed skirt added movement as she performed, while the crystal embellishment ensured the look sparkled from every angle.
Victoria And David Beckham’s Polished Match-Day Style
Few couples understand the relationship between football and fashion quite like Victoria and David Beckham. Their appearance at the final felt like a natural meeting of both worlds.
Rather than leaning into novelty dressing, the pair brought their signature polished approach to match-day style. Their presence also highlighted how dramatically football fashion has evolved. What was once viewed solely as supporter wear is now part of the wider luxury and celebrity fashion conversation.
Winnie Harlow’s Statement Dressing
Winnie Harlow proved that understated dressing can still make a statement. Walking the FIFA Gold Carpet ahead of the final, the model opted for a sleek all-black look, elevating the minimalist outfit with bold gold jewellery, including oversized earrings and a chunky charm necklace. She finished the look with a metallic mini handbag, adding just the right amount of glamour. Rather than competing with the spectacle of the occasion, Harlow’s effortless styling demonstrated that carefully chosen accessories can transform a simple look into one of the most memorable of the night.
