Sure, there might not be much news on a Saturday night, but at least one of our guys is involved.

To keep growing both personally and professionally, Trent Alexander-Arnold was pictured on Saturday at the Dolce & Gabbana Men’s presentation in Milan. On Wednesday, he was forced to miss the semi-final match against Fulham due to a knee injury.

Why does this matter? The Premier League players Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Erling Haaland were both invited to and photographed at D&G events recently, so this isn’t the first time they’ve been involved in fashion.

Trent’s developing profile only demonstrates how our little Academy student is maturing and attempting to diversify his own endeavors, whatever they may be. After all, he was featured in a 2020 GQ article while sporting a Burberry, and he most recently became a shareholder in Alpine, a Formula 1 team, joining the ranks of athletes like Rory McIlroy and Anthony Joshua. Thus, although unexpected, his presence at this fashion show is not totally out of the ordinary. He even donned D&G (as one would reasonably expect), albeit from their Fall 2023 collections.

If it were up to me, would I have chosen a more intriguing and adventurous fashion house for Trent? Yes. In my opinion, his appearance resembles an extra from a Guy Ritchie heist film. However, the costume and set design of even The Gentlemen included intriguing prints and vivid jewel tones.

However, you can’t blame a guy for making the move, particularly in the closed-off world of football players who all dress alike.
