On Monday, as he headed to dinner at the Hotel Costes in the French capital after storming the catwalk at Paris Fashion Week, he donned a pair of gray and white striped track bottoms over navy blue shorts.

Paris Fashion Week wasn’t the first time the star ventured into the fashion world.

A promising football prospect in his youth, Romeo drifted away from the game after being released by Arsenal in 2015 and turned his attention to a career in tennis.

However, Romeo then announced his intention to return to football in 2020 before joining father David’s MLS franchise Inter Miami the following year.

His first big break into the fashion world came when he was just 10 years old when he took on his first modeling assignment for Burberry.

Romeo followed in his mother’s footsteps from a young age and was fearless on set, described as ‘amazing, incredible and a bit of joy’, keeping everyone entertained as he ‘bounced around’.

His passion for fashion was cemented at an early age when he accompanied Victoria on shoots and mingled with a host of top designers.
