Spain not only won the World Cup, but also scored remarkably well in the looks department during the tournament. Match-winner Ferran Torres, for example, became one of the tournament's crushes thanks to his (let's be honest) rather handsome appearance. But Lamine Yamal also regularly managed to attract attention with his outfits, in addition to his moves on the pitch.
Right from the start of the World Cup, it was clear that the footballer was looking exceptionally good. From the Chanel looks to the baggy streetwear he wore when arriving at matches, every detail seemed to have been thought through. As it turns out, Lamine got help with his styling, and not just from anyone. During the World Cup, he worked with Pili Vila, who proudly shares several of the footballer's looks on Instagram.
Does the name Pili Vila not immediately ring a bell? Maybe this helps: she is the older sister of none other than Rosalía.
But Pilar “Pili” Vila Tobella is much more than just someone's sister. She has been working behind the scenes on the singer's career for years and is active as a stylist and creative director, among other things, so she plays an important role in the striking visual style and looks Rosalía is known for.
And for the record: It’s not uncommon for footballers to have a stylist. Soccer stars are no longer judged only on what they show during a match, since their outfits before and after the whistle are also discussed in detail.
Take Erling Haaland, whose wild collection of Hermès bags during the World Cup was even scrutinized by major fashion media. Or look at the French team, which consistently turns its arrival at the Clairefontaine training center into a kind of unexpected runway. (Jules Koundé in particular always looks iconic.) So naturally, Lamine couldn't fall behind during the World Cup.
In short: Spain won the World Cup, Ferran won everyone's hearts, and Lamine won the award for best dressed. Those Spaniards are clearly on a roll.
