a look at the Premios Alma fashions

Now that we have a few more pictures from Thursday’s Premios Alma, we can do a fashion post!  I still haven’t found a picture of Mahamadou Diarrá’s jacket, but it was certainly the most interesting thing seen on the orange carpet that night.

As for the people whose pictures we do have, let’s start with Rafa Nadal.  He looks pretty great, no?  I like his suit, his shirt and his belt.  He really cleans up nicely from his usual attire on the tennis court!

Meanwhile, I think both Iker and Sergio had to wear full suits, because they were presenters at the gala.  (I wonder if what Sergio is holding in his hand is notes for his speech during the ceremony)?  However, they both managed to give it their own personal touch.

As stated before, it appears that Iker and Sergio repeated their Príncipe de Asturias awards outfits, but with some accessory changes.  Iker’s suit still does not fit him properly (but I do like this tie better), and Sergio’s shirt and tie here are an improvement over those worn in Oviedo, in my opinion.

Some of the others came in jeans.  Besides Esteban Granero, Pipita and Ángel di María, Sergio Canales and Marcelo were also in denim.  Eze and Gonzalo look great, no?  But I dislike El Pirata’s cuffed jeans (reminds me of an Iker outfit, and that’s never a good thing), and I absolutely dislike Ángel’s jacket/jeans combo.  Separately, the pieces might not look so bad, but together, they’re a disaster.

The award for worst shoes of the night go to Cristiano and Marcelo, both for matching bright, white sneakers to their outfits.  I don’t like Marcelo’s sneakers, but at least he wore them with (too baggy) jeans, so he can pass for casual.  Cristiano, on the other hand, paired his with a suit.  No, no and no.  (And just look at that right hand of his, itching to give a thumbs-up).

Kaká, on the other hand, looks fantastic.  He has a nice, well rested look about him, no?

It also appears that a couple of guys also wore their official Real Madrid-sanctioned traveling outfit sneakers.

Mou looked great (no surprises there), and here is Mesut’s “súper elegante” look, which I do like, although he’s a bit too shiny for me, like Xavi was in Oviedo.

And though we can only see parts of him, my best dressed for the night goes to Xabi Alonso, for wearing a suit, and totally owning it, as only he can do.  His hair is perfect as well, as is everything else about him.  It made him look like he was attending a completely different event than some of his teammates.  Well done, Xabi.  Well done.

You could definitely give style lessons to some of your teammates.
