David Beckham has both good and bad reasons to remember the 1998 FIFA World Cup. That was the tournament where his infamous red card vs. Argentina saw him adjudged as the villain for England’s exit. While the undeserved media scrutiny and death threats saw the midfielder face the most difficult time of his career, the setback soon became a comeback thanks to the pillar of support he had—then girlfriend and now wife, Victoria Beckham. Just like Beckham, there have been many on the playing field that have a supportive partner right by their side, facing the highs and lows with them.
From rooting for their better halves from the stands, managing their own big career and business empires, taking care of their family, and walking hand-in-hand looking their glamorous best—it's never easy being in the spotlight. Despite that, these incredible women have always managed to stun with their grace from head-to-toe, especially their heads!
Here are five beauties who’ve given the fashion and beauty world haircuts to root for.
From popstar, ‘90s style icon, and fashion designer, to the wife of inarguably the most handsome man to ever play football, Victoria Beckham's hair has gone through as many changes as the roles that she's donned. Rarely seen with her haircut and colour out of place, our favourite Victoria Beckham look by far is her bob cut. From choppy bobs to asymmetrical ones, Mrs. Beckham has tried it all, giving each one of them her personal touch.
If you're looking to highlight your eyes and accentuate your cheeks, your search ends with Victoria's angled bob look. On the other hand, if you want something sophisticated and classy, the sleek long or the classic short bob is just for you.
With her golden tresses falling in waves over her shoulders, we can't help but be in awe of the hair that Alvaro Morata's stunning wife has. While this look of hers is an absolute hit when she styles it for a glam evening, Campello’s chic style is an absolute winner in a football jersey that she’s often seen sporting while cheering for her husband from the stands.
When it comes to who amongst the football wives and partners rocks the best ponytail, few would do better than Coleen Rooney. This clean, sleek, and well put-together look is easy to carry, whether it's on a night out or a much needed vacay. The best part about it? Even on bad hair days, you can still manage to look like you don't have a hair out of place!
Having famously braided the hair of her partner and football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo on more than one occasion, Georgina Rodriguez sure knows how to switch things up. One of our favourites is the very stylish straight bob that made heads turn at the screening of the movie Madres Paralelas at the 2021 Venice Film Festival. In a black corset and matching pants with flared legs, it was impossible to take your eyes off Rodríguez, with her stylish bob parted in the middle.
Over the years, the wife of Lionel Messi has given football fans and lovers of a good hair day a whole lot of reasons to eagerly anticipate the most prestigious football award galas of the year. Always dressed to the nines on the red carpet, Roccuzzo's wavy hair can be effortlessly styled. It not only perfectly frames her face, but the layered cut gives it enough versatility to change her look whenever she wants to. Although she has served us a variety of looks over the years, her parents nicknamed her “la negra” owing to her long black hair.
