With the FIFA World Cup 2026 around the corner, the fashion industry is gearing up for a summer of sporty style. Retro football shirts are rapidly ascending the trend ranks, (courtesy of Olivia Rodrigo) and 'blokette’ dress codes are enjoying a renaissance. According to Abbott Lyon, search for the term ‘Adidas World Cup away kit 2026’ is up a huge 1000 per cent on TikTok, in addition to ‘casual athletic outfit.’
Sure, we'll be glued to the screen so we can monitor the emotional state of boyfriends, fiancés and husbands, but our attention and appreciation however, is set to fall elsewhere.
Supporting her fiancé Bukayo Saka from the stands, Tolami Benson has emerged as a modern pioneer of WAG style. Debuting her impeccable fashion sense for all to see, the 25-year-old has been credited with breathing new life into WAG visual culture, and quite frankly, we couldn’t be happier about it.
The beauty PR (it goes without saying that as fashion journos we love a PR girlie), has taken a leaf out of Victoria Beckham’s style bible, turning out a plethora of covetable looks that merge quintessentially Noughties WAG glamour with contemporary appeal.

The star has curated a WAG-tastic wardrobe filled with personalised motocross jackets, pristinely cropped England shirts and an accessories collection to die for. What makes her stand out from her fellow wives and girlfriends? She’s not restricted to classic WAG staples such as Hermès Birkins, Miu Miu bucket hats and Chanel earmuffs. Rather, she opts for less trend-led pieces, championing monochrome luxury sportswear over all else.
Who is Tolami Benson?
The partner of Arsenal and England starboy Saka, Tolami is a senior planning executive for Zenith and graduate of Birmingham City University. Rumours of her relationship with England’s No.7 began swirling back in 2021, when Benson posted a photo with a mysterious masked figure on social media.
Their relationship was confirmed a year later, when the duo separately shared photos fro a luxurious yacht holiday in Dubai. Ever since, the beauty-cum-fashion aficionado has gained mass sartorial status, evolving as one of the key WAGs-to-watch and partnering up with major brands including River Island.

Off-White Cut-Out
It's official! We have an Off-White muse. Tolami is a certified Off-White fan, wearing a cut-out tank by the streetwear brand paired with a cherry red cap and and England sash.
The Dior Saddle
A true WAG essential, Dior's saddle bag is owned by WAGS across the globe. From Aine May, girlfriend of Connor Gallagher to Saka's sweetheart Tolami, the iconic Noughties silhouette is here to stay among the WAG army.
Malibu Barbie Blonde
Never underestimate the power of a great hair transformation. The star debuted her freshly-dyed locks, cut with a choppy yet modern fringe, online for friends and family to coo over. Topped with with her go-to Prada sunglasses and a frosting of chunky silver jewels, the star's new aesthetic proved her undeniable range.
Off-White 2.0
Championing Off-White once again, the beauty PR snapped a mirror selfie in a slouchy navy knit by the beloved brand, coupled with a pleated black skirt and divisive black shark boots.
England Mani
A beauty moment that simply can't go amiss, Tolami's England-themed manicure was a subtle nod to her partner's profession.
Double Denim
Double denim continues to reign supreme. Delightfully Noughties, the ensemble made for a pitchside hit when Tolami stepped out to support her beau on the field. She teamed the matchy-matchy look with a burgundy baseball cap for a sporty finish.
