Chelsea’s stars play dress-up, creating looks ready for London Fashion Week.
Fashion Week is the talk of the (h) town. In London, Chelsea F.C. players Ben Chilwell, Noni Madueke & Carney Chukwuemeka prepared for the ultimate styling task - dressing one another from head to toe in htown. Whether it’s a look for date night or Fashion Week, the Chelsea trio are in a league of their own. We laughed, launched onto the sofa and talked about all things: footie and fashion.
Setting the scene. The lads walk into the changing rooms; yet instead of being met with bundles of studded boots, dirt-clad jerseys and nylon socks draped in a disordered fashion, Noni, Chilly and Carney are in for a treat. These rails are filled with a calibre of SS24 favourites; from JW Anderson to Spencer Badu and Eckhaus Latta. If they wanted an outfit for a London Show, they’ve come to the right place.

“Ay Chills, I've got chills” First up, it’s Chilwell’s turn to be made over. Noni Madueke picks out the Diesel J-Blink Jacket as the foundation for his date night outfit. Carney Chukwuemeka on the other hand opts for a pair of Rust Eckhaus Latta Baggy Jeans. Each spurred on by words of encouragement.

Who is best and worst dressed on the squad? “I think the three in here are up there as best dressed,” Chilwell told us boldly, sitting amidst his Chelsea colleagues. “And Wes you know, Wes with the trackies” Noni details about his teammate Wesley Fofana, who has shared his looks on social media. Who’s the worst? “I’m gonna go with the guy that said he was the best dressed,” Chilwell tells us, referring to Connor Gallagher, Midfielder for the Premier League club. We don’t take sides; After all, teamwork makes the dream work.
“10 outta 10” “Goodness gracious, I would wear this though, I’m gonna grab it and take it home.” says Madueke, kitted out in the Spencer Badu Knitted Dress Shirt, and JW Anderson Neckband With JWA Classic Puller.

When it comes down to the scorecard, Ben Chilwell came out on top with his 10/10 style rating from Noni Madueke. It’s without a doubt that his fashion-forward expertise has been put down to excellent use. Amidst those Autumn and Winter showcases at Fashion Week, you will find Chilwell. Nestled into the crowds of Burberry Winter 2024, sporting a Burberry zip-down jacket and a cobalt checkered vest, relaxed black trousers and shades to match. Despite that row-z-stick he received from Grealish, we think his new look knocked it out of the park.
