One simple Kylian Mbappe outfit from last year, comprising of a matching Dior shirt and trousers, a Dior t-shirt, Nike trainers and a Hublot watch was valued at more than \u20ac50,000. Benjamin Pavard&#8217;s Bottega Veneta ensemble from March 2025 cost \u20ac11,690 without a watch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>These astronomical sums probably go some way to explaining why Zidane has brought an end to the pre-camp ritual in front of the cameras. It feels like a sensible move, and the players can still choose to dress up for the in-house media if they so wish.
