A fashion expert doesn't mince words about Lamine Yamal and his family's outfits at the Ballon d'Or gala: "Surreal."

The 69th Ballon d'Or awards ceremony took place on September 22nd, and this year it was held at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris.
One of the most important events in football today brought together, as every year, dozens of invited players and also candidates to win the highest award at this gala, the Ballon d'Or.
One of the night's biggest moments for Spanish football was when Barcelona's Aitana Bonmatí cemented her place in the league by winning her third consecutive Ballon d'Or. The Catalan player thus becomes the most successful player in the award's history.
For his part, the Frenchman Ousmane Dembélé , striker for Paris Saint-Germain, was the star of the night when he received his first Ballon d'Or, beating off competition from young figures such as Lamine Yamal , from Barcelona, who ultimately took second place and received the award for best young player of the season, known as the Kopa Trophy.
At these types of events, although the sport is the center of attention, there is also room for many to focus on other aspects, such as those related to fashion and style , since the red carpet prior to the gala exposes the soccer players, whether alone or accompanied, with elegant or more striking looks than what they usually wear.
Lamine Yamal , as he has done at other events, decided to attend the gala with his family, and beforehand , they all posed together in front of the cameras and flashes . Although the chosen looks were appropriate for the occasion, social media has left all kinds of opinions about them.
One of the most notable is that of fashion expert Carlos Morales, who has been critical of some details of the outfits of both the Barça footballer and his family :
"I want to think that Lamine Yamal and his family have chosen a good tailor for this big event. That tailor must have charged a fortune to tailor each suit for them ," he began by writing on the social network X.


"Despite all this, weren't you able to get the sleeve and leg lengths right for most of the people posing in that photocall? Surreal ," he opined bluntly.
Just a take here: I'd like to think Lamine Yamal and family hired a good tailor for this big event. That tailor must have charged a fortune to tailor each suit for them. And he's probably a well-known guy. In fact, if he wasn't, he is now for dressing them.… https://t.co/k0Ne4WB9hs

In this way, Morales suggests that the clothing worn by both Yamal and his companions didn't quite fit his figure, something he considers worthy of criticism given the young footballer's fame and popularity.
