We have the first shots from Cristiano Ronaldo‘s upcoming Armani underwear campaign, and we’re having some mixed feelings over here.
On the one hand, his body looks bangin, no question. How could it not??
But, just like with Megan Fox‘s campaign shots, while the new meat is beautiful, we think the Beckhams set the bar too high!
Here, we’re not wild about the affected poses or the styling.
First of all, his eyebrows look over-preened. Secondly, we’re not nuts about the hair. Don’t get us wrong, it’s great everyday hair, but it doesn’t hold a candle to the way David Beckham was styled in the prior campaign. With the brows and the hair combined, he kinda has a Jay Manuel thing goin’ on – and that ain’t good!
The Beckhams just bring a high-fashion vibe that can’t be beat. The lack thereof can only be blamed on the models – fashion photog greats Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott shot each campaign, and the brand is clearly constant. The models are the only variables!
Becks didn’t just look hot, he looked sleek and striking. Cristiano has hot in spades, but we feel like the wow factor is missing a little bit – he looks like any other male model striking a pose.
What do you think?
Does Cristiano’s campaign live up to the high standards David set before him?
