Erling Haaland has traded in his football boots for a spot on the catwalk, making a high-profile appearance at Dolce & Gabbana's Alta Sartoria Show in Taormina, Sicily, just days after Norway's World Cup disappointment.
Haaland, 25, has been an ambassador for the Italian brand since 2023, after striking a £2m endorsement deal with Dolce & Gabbana. The Manchester City star has been seen wearing the brand's clothes across his social media platforms and attended last summer's show in Rome with his girlfriend Isabel Haugseng Johansen, 22. This time around, the couple made a stylish entrance, posing for snaps together. Haaland swapped out his Norway kit for a suave all-white look, teaming a double-breasted blazer from Dolce & Gabbana with silk trousers and dark shades.
The Alta Sartoria Show was a star-studded affair, with Jennifer Lopez among the A-listers in attendance. Lopez looked incredible in a gem-covered strapless dress and matching jewellery. Haaland's Norway teammate and close friend Sander Berge also enjoyed the show, arriving with his girlfriend Julie Karlsen in matching black looks. The couple has been together for five years and welcomed their first child last year. They have been friends with Haaland since they met at a football academy in their hometown of Bryne.
Haaland and Johansen have been together since they were children and have been a power couple in the football world. Johansen was formerly a footballer herself but has now turned to modelling and influencing on social media. She landed her first major cover with Norway's KK magazine last month and posts about fashion, football, and travel on Instagram. The couple welcomed their first child in December 2024 and have been seen together on numerous occasions.
The Alta Sartoria Show was just the latest in a string of high-profile appearances for Haaland and Johansen. As they rub shoulders with A-listers and showcase their sense of style, it's clear that they're making the most of their time in the spotlight. With Haaland's football career still in full swing, it will be interesting to see how he balances his on-field duties with his growing fashion credentials.
