Jude Bellingham Is the New Face of Louis Vuitton Formalwear

Jude Bellingham knows a thing or two about high-caliber moments. The English footballer rose to the top of his chosen profession with the kind of speed that boggles the mind—and don't even get us started on his hundred-million-plus contract with Real Madrid. At just 22 years old, the guy has already busted through pretty much every barrier you could even conceive. It's almost like we should just shut up and let his performance do the talking.
And yet, here we are, talking about something new from Bellingham. Because it turns out he doesn't only shine on the pitch. He's now a bona fide campaign star, the focus of Louis Vuitton's latest formalwear campaign. (Which makes sense, considering his team just so happens to be dressed by LV.)
The move comes with a pretty major stamp of approval.
"We’re proud to launch our new formalwear campaign with Jude Bellingham," says Vuitton's men's creative director Pharrell Williams. "Jude brings a modern elegance and quiet confidence to a collection that pushes tailoring forward with sharp lines and sleek silhouettes designed to move with you."
The new campaign spotlights Bellingham in a curated collection of sharp looks ranging from truly workwear-y—a luxurious take on a chore jacket is an undeniable standout—to more classic black-tie. All of it is chilled-out, carefully crafted, and cool as hell—just like you'd expect from a label like Louis Vuitton and a star like Bellingham.
