A New Generation of WAGs Are Redefining Style In the Sports Arena

When Victoria Beckham attended David Beckham’s soccer matches in the late ‘90s, she practically had as much focus on her in the arena as the couple’s budding romance. In a sense, Beckham was one of the first WAGs (the wives and girlfriends of athletes), which had its roots in the British soccer world in the early 2000s and later expanded to more sports. Today, we’re seeing a new generation of WAGs, who are redefining style in the sports arena.

With the rising popularity of Formula 1, fans are paying closer attention to both drivers and their romantic partners—and what they show up wearing to the Grand Prix races. Tennis is similarly gaining a new audience as fashion brands are increasingly involved in the sport, including dressing the WAGs and celebrity attendees. Ahead, discover the new wave of WAGs who are style stars in their own right.
