It's World Cup season once again! Fashion and football go together like slogan tees and straight-leg jeans, if you ask us - and don't forget the players themselves have long-been considered style icons (case in point: Pelé circa 1950). And ever since our queen of the footballers' wives Victoria Beckham inspired the term WAG - it's even in the Oxford dictionary, we'll have you know - style-watchers have had something of a fascination with the ladies watching in the stands, too. While back then it was VB, Cheryl (then Tweedy) and Coleen Rooney (then McCloughlin) that we were wardrobe-watching, there's a new girl gang in town for 2018…
Remember Victoria and Cheryl at the 2006 world cup?
