From the Messi-Antonella combo to the bridal look of Alexia Putellas: the best of ‘The Best’ gala

Paris has dressed up this Monday to celebrate the event Fifa The Best, the most important awards in sport. All eyes have been focused on Leo Messi And his wife, Antonella Rocuzzocombined for the photocall with the two most elegant and sophisticated looks of the night, in black and with glitter details.

The Argentine has opted for a high-necked dress that fitted her silhouette like a second skin and that exposed one of her legs with a dizzying side opening. She has combined it with matching sandals and has given it a touch of color with a beautiful bag in the shape of a red rose. Messi, for his part, has imitated his wife with a total black to which he has given a festive touch with glitter lapels. The current PSG star has collected the Best Player of the Year award.

in black too Adriana Lima, official FIFA fan ambassador, very simple with a strapless neckline; and Luduvine Payetwife of soccer player Dimitri Payet, in a dress with a generous neckline and semi-transparent sleeves.

On the opposite side, in pristine white, one of our most successful athletes: Alexia Putellas. The Catalan, who has surprised as a blonde, has chosen a romantic style with flowing fabric and puffed sleeves, cut-out on the front and glitter ornaments in the form of leaves.

The one from FC Barcelona has been the winner in the Best Player category and has collected the award for the second consecutive year.
