The 2026 World Cup lasts from June 11 to July 19, giving celebrities plenty of time to score spots 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, Sabrina Carpenter, and more match-goers scored goals in the stands.

Much like Wimbledon 2026, fashion girls have been stealing the show since 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.

As Team England got closer to the semifinals, World Cup regular Victoria Beckham found her place in the stadium next to her former soccer pro husband. Her wardrobe has come a long way since she started attending the tournament in 2004 (gone are the days of Daisy Dukes and teeny-tiny graphic tees), though she hasn't stopped stowing Hermès Birkin bags in the VIP suite.

Before you know it, FIFA will present the championship trophy (and its monogrammed Louis Vuitton trunk) to the winning team. In the meantime, 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 Sunday's closing ceremony.

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

Victoria Beckham rarely wore Team England gear during her husband's World Cup game days. So, why would she now? The creative director's uniform this year included a rich-mom satin cowl-neck top, white pants, and oversized aviators.

Anya Taylor-Joy

Anya Taylor-Joy watched Team USA take on Paraguay, but her one-shoulder Adidas top proved her loyalties lie with Team Argentina. She unexpectedly paired the sporty style with a ladylike poplin skirt and an east-west bag from Magda Butrym.

For last week's 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 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.

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.

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.
