The Biggest Fashion Flops At 2026 FIFA World Cup Final

Held this Sunday, July 19, the long-anticipated final of the 2026 FIFA World Cup was not only an emotional climax to a magnificent month of soccer, but also an incredibly star-studded event. Plenty of rich and famous ensured they were among the viewers at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey to witness the match between Spain and Argentina, which the former won during extra time. Of course, many tuned in to watch the halftime show, which gave us performances of stars like Justin Bieber, BTS, and the queen of the World Cup herself, Shakira.

As with any event, we're always keen to look at the fashion the attending celebs opted for. At the World Cup Final, many flaunted their best casual yet cool looks, like reality star Kylie Jenner, who went for simplicity in an all-black 'fit, or musician-turned-designer (and the world's most famous soccer wife) Victoria Beckham, who stunned in a cream and white look. Nevertheless, some stars ended up rocking 'fits that we personally wouldn't pick for the World Cup final. From those who were overdressed to those who went overboard with accessories, here are all the stars who kind of missed the mark when it comes to soccer game fashion.

"Inventing Anna" star Julia Garner was photographed attending the gold carpet of the 20206 FIFA World Cup Final, yet somehow she looked like she was heading to a "Grease" themed party. The actor paired black shorts and a leather jacket with peep-toe heels, a tiny purse, and side-swept hair. Was she overdressed? Not really, but the fashion choices she made certainly didn't fit the nature of the event. Had she skipped the jacket and worn more casual shoes, this look wouldn't have landed her on this list.

When it comes to style, Olympic athlete Lindsey Vonn's stunning transformation showcases just how far the alpine ski race has come. Nevertheless, Vonn is still prone to a small fashion faux pas. For the final of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Vonn opted to go for bold floral pants, which she paired with a collared red top. Unfortunately, the two items fought for attention, and neither won. This is a huge shame because the pants were a great move on the athlete's side.

Model Winnie Harlow always looks stunning, but her fashion choices sometimes result in utter confusion. Earlier this year, Harlow was among the worst-dressed celebs at Coachella 2026 weekend one, and months later she also disappointed at the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final. The former "America's Next Top Model" contestant wore cream pants and a white top, which in itself was a great choice. Her accessories are where it all went wrong. It seems as if Harlow couldn't decide between a statement necklace, earrings, belt, and bag, so she simply wore all of them, entirely overwhelming the look.

Pop legend Madonna was among the performers of the halftime show at the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final, and while she certainly made everyone dance and sing, her outfit could have been better. While Madonna has given us plenty of best outfits in her 60s so far, the look she rocked to this event certainly seemed like a recycled copy of her 2026 Coachella performance 'fit. The numerous layers and various shades of pink and purple were predictable and felt boring. We simply have higher fashion expectations for the Queen of Pop.

Musician Nicole Scherzinger was among the performers at the closing ceremony held before the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final. Scherzinger coordinated her look by wearing blue alongside singers Laura Pausini and Robbie Williams, with whom she performed the World Cup anthem, "Desire." While the rich color looked stunning on the Pussycat Dolls singer, the train attached to her right hand looked awkward throughout most of the performance. Especially because whenever Scherzinger held the mic with this hand, the train would cover up her entire outfit.

Kevin Hart's wife, model Eniko Hart, is absolutely stunning no matter what she wears. That said, her 2026 FIFA World Cup Final look wasn't one we're too fond of. The star wore a sporty blue two-piece consisting of a skirt and zip-up jacket, but the accessories completely clashed with it. The red bag? Too posh. The mesh shoes? They look like beachwear. Swap the accessories, and this is a fabulous look for a prom event.

While Italian singer Laura Pausini performed before the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final in a beautiful blue gown, she wore a different outfit on the gold carpet. Unfortunately, her attire for this moment in the event was a tad too glamorous. Keeping in mind that this is a soccer game, Pausini's black and gold dress seemed a bit of an overkill, and something more appropriate for an award show or premiere, especially with the gold platform heels and jewelry.
