While England fans are recovering from a heavy night of celebrating after the weekend’s thrilling Euros game, we’ve been stalking the social media accounts of some the glamorous women who were cheering from the stands.
Victoria Beckham and Coleen Rooney set the precedent for high-flying football wives and girlfriends (WAGS) back in the Noughties, and as we enter another exciting season of football, some new and more established faces have emerged on the scene.
WAGS may no longer be sporting denim hot pants and the iconic “England Rocks” tees, but they do continue to stun football fans with their lavish styles.
Here are seven of the most influential WAGS to keep an eye out for over the next few weeks, who have all created a name for themselves in both the fashion and business worlds…
1. Georgina Rodríguez – Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo’s partner
Georgina Rodríguez, 30, is an Argentine-born Spanish social media influencer and model, who turns heads on every red carpet she walks on. Her and Ronaldo’s fairy-tale love story began in 2016, when the football superstar walked into the Gucci store in Madrid, where Rodriguez was working at the time.
Over the last six years, the dynamic duo have built a family together, whilst also jet-setting across the world attending countess red carpets side by side. Rodríguez’s life with the infamous Portuguese player is also chronicled in 2022 Netflix series, I Am Georgina.
The dark-haired beauty has nearly 60 million followers on Instagram and has appeared in numerous campaigns for an array of high-fashion brands, such as Gucci, Prada, Guess and Chanel.

Jude Bellingham is the England player on everybody’s lips today, after his remarkable goal against Serbia. And according to certain reports, Bellingham – often referred to as one of England’s most eligible bachelors – is romancing model Laura Celia Valk.
The Dutch model, 25, is known for her bouncy blow-outs and effortless chic looks. She is represented by The Four Models and we would love to see what sophisticated outfit she’d put together if England gets through to the Euros final.
