Jude Bellingham, the 22-year-old Real Madrid and England football sensation, has officially joined Louis Vuitton as the face of its formalwear, marking a significant step in his burgeoning fashion journey. This partnership aligns with Louis Vuitton’s broader strategy to blend athleticism with luxury, especially under the creative direction of Pharrell Williams.Williams lauds Bellingham’s “modern elegance and quiet confidence,” qualities that resonate with the brand’s latest formalwear collection, which emphasizes sharp tailoring and sleek, mobile silhouettes.
In a campaign shot by photographer Gabriel Moses, Bellingham is seen in Louis Vuitton’s double-breasted suits and embossed jackets, exuding a blend of athletic poise and sartorial sophistication. One standout image captures him recreating his iconic open-armed goal celebration, a moment recently featured on the cover of EA Sports’ FC 25, set against a backdrop of shadowy crowds.
This collaboration not only highlights Bellingham’s evolving style but also underscores his influence both on and off the pitch. Having previously been recognized as the Most Stylish Player at Euro 2024 by GQ readers, Bellingham’s partnership with Louis Vuitton further solidifies his status as a fashion-forward athlete.
As Louis Vuitton continues to intertwine sports and fashion, Bellingham’s involvement marks a new chapter in the brand’s exploration of athletic elegance, promising more collaborative ventures in the future.
