Karim Benzema and Jordan Ozuna debut matching Tiffany & Co bracelets at the Ballon d’Or
The power couple upped their jewellery game for the prestigious Ballon d'Or as they sparkled in matching diamond T1 Tiffany bracelets by the iconic New York jeweller Tiffany & Co
By Joshua Hendren
French striker Karim Benzema won the Ballon d’Or for the first time in his career after helping Real Madrid win LaLiga and the Champions League last season.
Crowned the winner on Monday evening, Benzema wore a diamond-studded T1 Tiffany bracelet by Tiffany & Co to the prestigious event, as did his partner American model Jordan Ozuna.
Looking effortlessly suave in a black tuxedo over a banded collar shirt, Benzema’s 18K gold Tiffany & Co bangle coiled around his wrist in 4.08 carats of round brilliant diamonds.
Ozuna, who attended the ceremony alongside her loved one in Paris’ Theatre Du Chatelet, paired her T1 design with Tiffany’s Metro bangle that twinkled in 18K gold and diamond.
Benzema was overjoyed to have picked up the award. Speaking after the ceremony, he said: “To see this prize in front of me makes me really proud. It was a childhood dream for me and all the work I have done, I never gave up. I always had in my mind that anything was possible, when I was not in the France team I never stopped working hard.”
“I am really proud of my journey here. It was not easy, it was a difficult time and also for my family as well. To be standing here today for the first time, I am happy for my work and will keep going.”
