The World Cup has always been more than just a soccer tournament. While the games spark intense excitement around the world and turn star players into huge celebrities, they’ve also given us plenty of unforgettable fashion moments. Who could forget the early 2000s, when Victoria Beckham and other WAGs showed up to matches in tiny shorts and oversized sunglasses? With the championship taking place in the United States this summer, the fashion stakes are higher than ever. The crowd is just as focused on what’s happening off the field as on it.
