RONALDO'S GIRLFRIEND MODELS AT FASHION RIO

SEND TO A FRIEND

12 JANUARY 2006

If you dream of catching the eye of a hunky footballer, you might want to check out what the upcoming style trends are in Brazil, where Ronaldo's latest girlfriend, Raica Oliveira, has been displaying some of the country's newest creations at Fashion Rio.

TNG is the designer to watch if you feel up to following in Raica's footsteps by donning teeny-weeny hotpants with vertiginous heels and leg-warmers.

Her elegant teeter down the runway in the super-sexy take on sport must have been a source of wonder to her Real Madrid boyfriend, currently watching the action from the sidelines as he recovers from a calf injury.

But if romantic gipsy is more your bag – think Catherine Zeta-Jones in Zorro – there's plenty of inspiration to be had from young designer Victor Dzenk.

His placing of gentle ruffles at throat, cuff and ankle is supremely alluring, and this year he's topping things off with broad-brimmed, stiff sombreros, which bring a touch of seductive severity to the most flirtatious outfit.
