At the Ballon d’Or awards ceremony on Monday night, footballing royalty walked the Paris red carpet wearing their finest suits, ties, dresses, and designer brands.

The annual awards honor the world’s finest football players, and it is highly anticipated that Lionel Messi will win his seventh solo title as the greatest men’s performer.

There are many excited fans waiting to catch a glimpse of the Premier League stars, A-list celebrities, You Tube sensations, and former players and managers at the Théâtre du Chatelet in Paris.

Messi, who previously created an odd, eye-catching tuxedo, opted for a more understated appearance on a night when he is anticipated to win yet another individual prize and, most likely, his career’s last Ballon d’Or.

With his family at his side, the Argentinean star looked dapper in a black tuxedo as they made their way back to Paris, where he used to play for PSG.

David Beckham, the owner of Inter Miami, trailed him, the English legend looking sharp as ever in a navy suit with a cross-jam.

Beckham appeared happy as he posed for the photographers lining the red carpet, sporting short hair specifically for the occasion.

But Kylian Mbappe chose to forgo traditional looks, showing up decked up in an odd-looking black undershirt and grey tuxedo.

Players from Manchester City were among the first to arrive at the glitzy event, and they surely had more energy after defeating rivals from across the city, Manchester United, in the weekend derby at Old Trafford.

Erling Haaland, who is anticipated to place highly in the Ballon d’Or rankings following a record-breaking debut season at Manchester City, entered the theater with girlfriend Isabel Haugseng Johansen wearing a navy tuxedo.

Eden Hazard, a former Chelsea player and Real Madrid failure who hasn’t been seen much since announcing his retirement from sport earlier in October, made an unexpected appearance.

At the awards ceremony, the Belgian chose to wear a basic black suit and tie while he walked the red carpet with his family in front of the photographers.

For former Liverpool player Djibril Cisse, it was a flashback occasion when he showed up in yet another famous outfit that will make Reds fans remember his striking appearances at Anfield.

Tennis superstar Novak Djokovic was present on the red carpet at the exclusive event

Rodri, a midfielder for Man City, attended the exclusive function in Paris dressed in a typical tuxedo.

Cisse, who dyed his hair blue on Monday and sported a white suit without a shirt, was possibly more well-known for his eccentric hairstyles and wardrobe choices during his time at Liverpool than for his goals.

Jude Bellingham, the star of Real Madrid and England, attracted notice when he eschewed the customary tuxedo in favor of a six-button jacket with a bow tie.

Vinicius Jr., his Brazilian club teammate, took his fashion game to the next level by showing up in a bold red jacket that matched the red carpet that the celebrities were gliding down.

Emiliano Martinez, the goalie for Aston Villa and the Argentina World Cup winning team, was there and posed with his spouse outside the theater wearing a beautiful suede-jacket tuxedo.

Another Premier League player who traveled to France for a brief visit was Bernardo Silva, who entered the event hall with style. Rodri, his club teammate, followed suit with an identical look.

The two may like to get back together with Ilkay Gundogan, their former teammate who left Man City in the summer to join Barcelona but who was there at the Ballon d’Or.

Renowned tennis player Novak Djokovic, who is a passionate football fan, also made an appearance at the invitation-only event held in the French capital.

Social media influencers IShowSpeed and Luva de Pedreiro made very unique red carpet appearances, drawing attention from non-sport figures as well.

Pedreiro was wearing a red suit and black shoes, while IShowSpeed chose a pair of designer trainers with holes on them that wouldn’t appear out of place on the beach.
