After wrapping up a demanding football season with Manchester City, Erling Haaland is taking full advantage of some well-earned downtime—this time stepping out in high fashion rather than high-stakes matches.
A Glamorous Date Night in Rome
The 24-year-old Norwegian striker was spotted attending the luxurious Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda fashion show in Rome on Monday.
And he wasn’t alone. Haaland was accompanied by his longtime girlfriend, Isabel Haugseng Johansen, as the couple made a fashionable entrance at the historic Foro Romano.
Looking sharp in a tailored all-white suit paired with brown suede loafers and sleek black sunglasses, Haaland turned heads.
Isabel also brought the glamour, wearing a sheer nude wrap dress over gold shorts and a matching bra.
The couple held hands on arrival, with Haaland casually raising his left hand in greeting—a subtle nod to the cameras and fans alike.
From Brand Ambassador to Fashion Fixture
This isn’t Haaland’s first brush with the high fashion world.
He’s been an ambassador for Dolce & Gabbana since 2023, reportedly earning up to £2 million from the endorsement deal.
His love for the brand is no secret—he’s often seen donning their pieces across his social media accounts.
Monday’s event brought out a slew of stars, including actor Christian Bale, but Haaland and Johansen’s presence was one of the highlights of the night.
Enjoying Family Time Away from the Pitch
Haaland’s off-season has been all about recharging.
Just last week, he and Isabel were seen soaking up the sun in Ibiza on a yacht, joined by Johansen’s mother and their baby, who was born last December.
The couple has chosen to keep their child’s name and gender private for now, maintaining a low-key approach to family life.
Johansen, 21, has known Haaland for years—they both came up through the youth ranks at Bryne FK in Norway.
They started dating during his Borussia Dortmund days, with Isabel making regular visits to see him.
Despite keeping her social media presence private, she’s become more visible during City’s major trophy celebrations.
From a Rough Season End to Some Needed Rest
Haaland’s season didn’t end the way he hoped.
Despite scoring in the Club World Cup, he couldn’t prevent Manchester City’s shocking early exit against Al-Hilal.
Chelsea went on to win the tournament, and Haaland flew home shortly after.
While the defeat stung, Pep Guardiola might secretly be relieved.
With a jam-packed football calendar, Haaland having a few extra weeks off could be a blessing.
Guardiola has openly worried about the physical toll the endless summer fixtures could have on his players.
Gearing Up for the Next Chapter
For now, Haaland is soaking in the last bits of his holiday.
City’s only confirmed pre-season game is scheduled for August 9 against Palmero, just one week before the Premier League kicks off with an away match at Wolves.
Whether on the runway in Rome or the pitch in Manchester, Haaland is clearly making every moment of his summer count.
