Lionel Messi is renowned for many things.
Sublime dribbling skills, perfectly weighted through-balls, unerring finishes…and his sublime/ridiculous sense of style.
What exactly Messi will wear to each Ballon d’Or ceremony has become almost as keenly awaited as the award itself.
Rarely does the impish genius disappoint. Much like his playing style, the cut of his suit is maverick, individual and often defies convention.
We have enjoyed…
Cheeky prom date (Ballon d’Or 2010)
Pintsize Hugh Hefner (Ballon d’Or 2011)
Cruise ship crooner (Ballon d’Or 2012)
Las Vegas magician (Ballon d’Or 2013)
Fabulous mobster (Ballon d’Or 2014)
But this year’s outfit could be his best/worst yet. Introducing…
Royal pyjamas…
