Style Off: Best in Shades
Real Madrid are enroute to Canada, where they’re scheduled to attend an open practice tonight in Toronto. (Friday they will be taking the pitch in a friendly against Toronto FC.)
We’re most impressed with the newbies giving a nod to Canadian sunglasses master, Corey Hart. Which black pair do you think covers these guys’ roving eyes the best?
Kaka – All black Armani aviators ensure that Caroline is secure. This man loves Jesus and his wife;
Cristiano Ronaldo – rocking his usual iridescent Gucci’s, perfect for face and hair checks (for both himself and his normal bevy of beauties/skankalicious friends); or
Karim Benzema – bucking the backpack-wearing trend in a tinted pair. Note strategy of leaving just enough smoke up top to mask who he’ll be choosing as his lucky lady. For tonight, anyway. Keep ‘em guessing, Benzie.
Full size shots below with added bonus/horror photo (depending on who you support) attached of Xabi in his new travel uni. Also, enjoy Iker Casillas, who won’t masquerade as the guy in shades, oh no. Sorry. We’ll stop. After one (two) more views.
Kak? always. Hands down. There is never a day when he looks bad, he tries hard to dress down and look like a model suburban dad, but the Armani model in him just fights back and wins. Sigh, lucky lucky Caroline…
Kaka’s missing his slick D&G traveling gear. His shades get my vote.
xabi. xabi. xabi. without question. am an alonso fan!! i love liverpool! though, there’s nothing wrong with real madrid. but i saw xabi’s first images in real madrid white from the toronto match… and he looks better in red!
My vote is for Kaka. Benzema’s are too transparent and unsettling and CR’s look a little too dark and skeezy.
MY COOKIE KAKA!
I will have to say kaka but they all look good. Wow guess i will have to pay more attention to real madrid this year with the hot new recruits… (and iker of course)
Is Kaka wearing lipgloss, or is that just the brand new, shiny look of a man who hasn’t been passed around by half of the hookers in Western Europe? Looking at you Cris.
the shoes… yuck.
how about we give it to ride candidate Xabi Alonso–without shades?
I must be sick but CRon wins this one. Benzema makes my skin crawl in a strange way.
Iker needs some sunnies and his beard is looking sexy.
Though they are all handsome, I still like the looks of Cristiano Ronaldo.
Does anyone know what are those shoes they’re wearing?
I know “laid back” preppy tennishoes are hip today with formalwear, but someone in the RM dressing dept must be colorblind to pick those shoes with and all black outfit.
BTW, c-ron managed to pull it together adding the clear tone belt.
as for the shades…C ron is the man, benzema pulls it off with the seventies-french-agent shades, and kaka…my god…the lad’s got no salvation he’s juts a momma’s boy…maybe Giorgio Armani gave him the sponsoring contract at the same time he asked him to pass the soap he had just dropped to the shower floor.
It was great to see the girls drooling over the fit ones and ignoring the ugly goalie.
I love Cris but I am gonna give it to Kaka. Shows off his pouty lips. But really why are they all dressed exactly the same, even down to their shoes? They look like some freak set of adult septuplets or at least students that ride the short bus to school. I can’t believe they did not all have to hold hands as they went thru the airport.
I hate the glasses, but I’ll take Benzema just because I like him. Kaka is too clean, Crissy is too dirty (not in the good way) and Iker and Xabi aren’t wearing glasses.
Complete outfits.. yuck.
I kinda like Benzema in shades, his look is the best out of these three. Without shades Kaka is definitely cutest, but Alonso.. even as a Chelsea fan I’ll miss him.
I can’t vote against Cristiano.
Are they all applying for jobs at a MAC store?
Whats with the head to toe, black, utilitarian look?
CR of course! He always gets my vote!
Kaka totally rocks the look. Karim Benzema comes in after him.
Kaka looks fierce.
My vote is for CR…always!
I like Ronaldo’s sunglasses, though his face is a little creepy. Definitely I go for Kaka. Btw, the outfits are REALLY horrible…
my vote is for Kaka’
I think Kaka wins my vote!!
lemonstarbursts – I hope you prevent me from pulling a Nereida once I’m there. lol. I better hire a camera crew just in case.
I am going to the match against DC United on Sunday. Cannot wait!
note for ronaldo- don’t tuck your shirt in, and my vote goes to karim
Kaka as always. Iker is looking mighty fine too. But I think we’ve come to expect that
Oh Iker! Iker wins! And Kaka has the best glasses. Cristiano looks like he should be playing the role of some cheesy pilot in a low-budge porn who says things like “Excuse me, I’m lost. Can you give me directions to your house?”… Oh no wait, that’s just what he does in my head.
kaka wins this one. there’s a quiet, unassuming elegance about him that i like. the other guys just look too… tacky and orchestrated to me.
My vote goes to the stylist who can get Real Madrid out of these ghastly outfits.
Kak?
Iker *sigh* Bitterlemon – like the username
I’ll be at the DCU match as well
Oh God, I frickin’ loved Corey Hart.
This man loves Jesus and his wife;
God bless him.
I prefer Kaka’, Ronaldo looks like if he had farted or something like that, and Benzema needs a new stylist.
Oh Xabi baby….you look lost (albeit gorgeous)….or could it be you are missing Stevie G?
cristiano gets my vote! As usual lol
Kaka wins and Xabi smilee gorgeous
Those outfits are horrible. Shirts tucked in with belt????
I think Benzema looks better with shades then without.
I’m voting for Karim… it’s a bit less scary Matrix-style when you can actually see his eyes a bit I think…
I prefer kaka looks stylish with the glasses Ronaldo looks like there’s something smelly next to him lol
Gosh, I was just in Toronto in June…Wish I was there now!!! Anyway, Cristiano wins–hands down!
My vote goes to the always sexy Cristiano! Really do like the laid back travel kits of the RM team. Of course I prefer a suit on any footballer, but there’s something sexy and classy about toning down a multi million euro player in a casual look.
Kaka gets my vote.
