The outfit has two special details: a kind of bow tie knotted around the neck and a pair of thin-rimmed glasses that stand out above all else. Otherwise, the outfit is simple: black blazer, white shirt and black trousers.
Benzema will start the defence of his Ballon d’Or when he laces his boot against Elche in their next clash in La Liga on Wednesday evening before they take on Sevilla on Saturday.
