Last night was huge date in the football calendar with the Ballon D’Or, the Oscars of the soccer world, taking place in Zurich.
Huge football stars such as Cristano Ronaldo, Robin Van Persie and Lionel Messi graced the red carpet in their dapper tuxedos but there was one soccer star that blew their fashion out of the water.
Irish international soccer player Stephanie Roche made her fashion debut on the red carpet making her an instant style star around the world.

Stephanie turned to the top celeb style team – including Dublin hair stylist to the stars Ceira Lambert who installed Gold Fever Hair Extensions.
Looking every inch a knockout in a pale pink lace mini dress with feather detail, Stephanie wore Irish designer Helen Cody.
Stephanie is becoming a fashion icon already, and has recently been styled by Laura Mullett – who is quickly become the go-to stylist in Ireland.
Helen Cody has a huge celebrity fan base already, having dressed Irish style stars Laura Whitmore, Cecelia Ahern and Amy Huberman.
While women everywhere are already looking to bag the gown donned by Stephanie, Helen custom made the couture dress for the Shankhill native, and no replicas will be made.

Stephanie matched her Irish design with a pair of nude pointed courts and the award nominee glowed showing off her incredible legs.
Catching all the football players attention, Stephanie was snapped being checked out by world famous players Messi and Ronaldo who couldn’t help gawking at the beauty as she walked by them.
Cementing her name as part of football greats, the ASPTT Albi soccer star was not only the first ever woman to be shortlisted for the Puskas Award but first Irish person ever to be nominated for the honour.

Though the star didn’t win the award, she sure won in the style stakes, she’ll definitely be the new one to watch in the fashion world.
