The 2026 World Cup lasted from June 11 to July 19, which gave celebrities plenty of time to land on the best-dressed list. While fashion-forward soccer stars like Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappé performed on the sport's biggest stage, looks from Victoria Beckham, Beyoncé, Rihanna, and more match-goers scored goals in the stands.
Much like Wimbledon 2026, fashion girls started stealing the show during the first week of the World Cup games. Shakira's opening ceremony outfit—which featured a custom neon yellow bodysuit by Off-White—set high style expectations. Once Shakira blew the sartorial whistle, Anya Taylor-Joy cheered for Argentina in Adidas; Lola Tung tested the track shorts trend while Brazil and Morocco tied; and Barbara Palvin celebrated Team USA in an all-black maternity look.
Before Team Spain took on Team Argentina in the final match, everyone from Beyoncé and Dua Lipa to Rihanna and Kylie Jenner found their VIP suites. Statement capris and Bermuda shorts (summer's biggest pants trends) helped Beyoncé and Rihanna tie for first place at the wardrobe World Cup. Meanwhile, Jenner's all-black look took a more laid-back approach to the cropped-pant trend. (Her boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet, tried the sports jersey trend for both of them.)
And just like that, FIFA presented the championship trophy (and its monogrammed Louis Vuitton trunk) to Team Spain. If you're already experiencing major soccer withdrawal, catch up on all the best celebrity looks at the 2026 World Cup. The shoppable styles below will keep the summer of sports alive long after the closing ceremony.
Beyoncé
Rather than sporting Argentina- or Spain-specific gear, Beyoncé wore a custom LaQuan Smith look for the 2026 World Cup Final. She layered a cream-colored, cropped trench coat over semi-sheer capri pants. Prada sunglasses, ankle-strap stilettos from Amina Muaddi, and a custom top-handle bag by The Daily Edited shone from the stands.
Rihanna
Always on board for a sports jersey moment, Rihanna paired a chocolate brown T-shirt with olive green Bermuda shorts. The Aflalo Bromer bottoms stretched up to her unseasonably chic suede knee-high boots. To comply with MetLife Stadium's purse policy, RiRi fit only her essentials in Ferragamo's Fall 2026 Cara Handbag.
Kylie Jenner
Kylie Jenner left soccer-inspired styling to her boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet, who wore an Adidas jersey with matching track pants. The Kylie Cosmetics founder stuck to her summer signatures, including capri pants and the heeled flip-flops trend.
Dua Lipa
Dua Lipa's halter top brought a splash of bridal whites to the World Cup. The newlywed paired the backless style with mid-wash jeans, snakeskin Khaite boots, and the celebrity-beloved Chanel 25 Bag.
Anya Taylor-Joy
Even as Team Spain scored the winning goal, Anya Taylor-Joy pledged allegiance to Argentina in a baby blue ascot, a white satin pencil skirt from Leset, and matching peep-toe pumps.
Victoria Beckham
Victoria Beckham has been bringing Hermès collector's items to the World Cup since 2006. This time, she styled a brown Hermès Kelly Bag with a white tank top and wide-leg jeans. While similar handbag styles sell secondhand for upwards of $14,000, you can recreate the summer whites look for a very small fraction of the price.
Gabrielle Union
Much like Callum Turner and Lipa, Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union matched each other's energy at the World Cup in dark-wash denim. Union's Canadian tuxedo look was especially copy-worthy with wide-leg jean culottes, a coordinating jacket, and Nike's white Pacific Sneakers.
Sabrina Carpenter
Sabrina Carpenter was unmissable at the World Cup—and not just because of her blonde bombshell curls. She skipped a typical soccer jersey in favor of a vintage Nike tennis dress. It might've looked a little too laid-back at Wimbledon 2026, but it was the perfect combination of short and sweet for the Ecuador vs. Germany game.
Victoria Beckham
Beckham rarely wore Team England gear during her husband's World Cup game days. So, why would she now? The creative director's uniform earlier in the World Cup games included a rich-mom satin cowl-neck top, white pants, and oversized aviators.
Anya Taylor-Joy
Taylor-Joy watched Team USA take on Paraguay, but her one-shoulder Adidas top proved her loyalties lie with Team Argentina. For an earlier game in the season, she unexpectedly paired the sporty style with a ladylike poplin skirt and an east-west bag from Magda Butrym.
Lisa
For the Spain vs. Belgium match, Blackpink's Lisa wore head-to-toe Nike while watching the game from the brand suite. To elevate her take on the boxer shorts trend, she accessorized with an asymmetrical semi-sheer skirt and cleated Nike Mirage Sneakers.
Barbara Palvin
Barbara Palvin and her husband, Dylan Sprouse, delivered major couples style inspiration during the World Cup—without wearing anything sporty. All eyes went to Palvin's growing baby bump, framed by a long-sleeve top from Alaïa that she paired with a low-slung skirt and ankle boots. Sprouse matched his wife's "too cool for a soccer jersey" energy in all black, too.
Ciara
Ciara wore Adidas athleisure at the World Cup. She ran across the field in a tomato-red jersey, a pleated tennis skirt, and sneakers from the German brand's Aug. 2025 collaboration with L.A. streetwear label Brain Dead. Note the statement ballet sneakers, featuring embroidered flames on the back.
Teyana Taylor
If you're a part-soccer fan, part-fashion fan, you'll appreciate the shoes Teyana Taylor styled with her Canadian tuxedo. She arrived at one of the first 2026 World Cup games wearing Schiaparelli's sold-out Trompe L'Oeil Sneakers, beloved by footwear collectors for their surrealist gold toes.
Salma Hayek
World Cup's tournament ambassador, Salma Hayek, started the Parade of Nations in a strawberry-red suit set from Gucci. While soccer fans could see her blazer's shoulder pads and floral-printed blouse from the nosebleed seats in the Mexico City Stadium, Hayek's $25,200 diamond brooch by Boucheron required binoculars.
Tyla
For her first opening ceremony performance, Tyla paid homage to her home country in an Ellie Misner custom dress in the colors of South Africa's flag.
The next day, she went full Team USA mode in a custom Louis Vuitton look. Her starry baseball tee matched her velvet balloon pants. Unconventional wedge heels from futuristic footwear brand Spirit Guide 9 added even more visual interest to Tyla's on-stage outfit.
Lola Tung
The Summer I Turned Pretty star doubled up on summer's biggest trends at the 2026 World Cup, styling her track shorts with white sneakers. According to Instagram Stories of her stylist, Britt McCamey, Lola Tung's east-west Longchamp Le Pliage bag made it inside the MetLife Stadium, too.
