Jude Bellingham: The Face of Louis Vuitton’s SS26 Formalwear Collection
English footballer Jude Bellingham is taking the fashion world by storm as the featured “Friend of the House” for Louis Vuitton’s Spring Summer 2026 Formalwear collection. The collection, designed by multi-hyphenate Creative Director Pharrell, showcases a modern take on the dandy style through subtle LV motifs on tailored workwear.
The campaign for the collection will debut on August 14, 2025, with the pieces hitting stores on August 28, 2025. But for now, we can get a sneak peek at Bellingham’s stylish looks.
Tailored Workwear with a Twist
In true Louis Vuitton fashion, the collection pays attention to even the finest details. The iconic LV wordmark and monogram shapes are incorporated into the designs through tonal jacquards, metallic embellishments, and rivets.
One standout piece features Bellingham in a sleek all-black evening suit. But upon closer inspection, the tie is printed with the LV pattern, and the jacket’s buttons are embossed with the logo in gold. It’s a subtle yet stylish nod to the brand.
For a more casual look, Bellingham rocks a quarter-zip knitted sweater and a charcoal workwear jacket with leather patch pockets. The monogram shapes are once again incorporated through small silver embellishments. And of course, no formal look is complete without a pair of tailored trousers, creased with deep pleats for a polished finish.
Accessorizing with Louis Vuitton
No outfit is complete without the perfect accessories, and Louis Vuitton has got Bellingham covered. The collection features a range of sleek leather bags from the reimagined LV Aerogram line, including the Boarding Messengers, Keepalls, and Duo Pouches.
Bellingham’s Relationship with Louis Vuitton
Bellingham joined the Louis Vuitton family as an official “Friend of the House” in Summer 2024, a year after joining Real Madrid in 2023. After attending Pharrell’s debut for the brand earlier that year, Bellingham formed a strong relationship with the house and its Creative Director.
In a statement released last August, Bellingham expressed his excitement about joining the Louis Vuitton family. “Since I was young, I have always been attracted to the House,” he said. “I am so happy to continue building a relationship with Pharrell, whose work I truly admire.”
Mark Your Calendars
Fashion-forward fans can mark their calendars for August 28, 2025, when Louis Vuitton’s Men’s Spring-Summer 2026 Formalwear collection will be available in stores. But until then, we’ll be eagerly awaiting more stylish looks from Jude Bellingham and Louis Vuitton.
