Trent Alexander-Arnold has swapped his football boots for boxers in his latest move off the pitch.
The Real Madrid star surprised fans by fronting a bold new Calvin Klein underwear campaign, showing a side of himself that goes far beyond his usual role on the field.
A Bold Display
In the advert, Trent isn’t shy. At one point, he even teases by pulling off his boxers before stepping into a shower scene—though the cameras cut away before things go too far.
Fans, more accustomed to watching him deliver pin-point passes, were left buzzing at the unexpected shower reveal.
Not His First Time
This isn’t Alexander-Arnold’s first Calvin Klein project.
The 26-year-old has worked with the brand before, joining a line-up that includes other football names like Virgil van Dijk and Leah Williamson.
This time around, he’s modeling their Intense Power Cotton trunks (around £45 for three) and the Microfiber Stretch Boxer Briefs (just under that price).
Trent on Confidence and Madrid
Speaking about the campaign, Trent admitted the shoot gave him a lift.
“Stepping into Calvin Klein’s iconic underwear and denim for this campaign really got me in a powerful, confident state of mind,” he said.
“Shooting in Madrid made it even more special—it felt personal and fun.”
Fan Reactions Pour In
Social media, as always, had its say. Comments ranged from shock to cheeky humor:
-
“WOWWW I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS!!!!” one follower shouted.
-
“When I opened the IG, my father was sitting next to me. Thanks, Trent,” joked another.
-
Others kept it short and playful with lines like, “Must be chilly.”
One fan even dubbed him their “beautiful husband.”
Life Beyond Liverpool
The shoot comes as Trent continues adjusting to life in Madrid.
After years as a Liverpool staple, he made the bold switch to Real Madrid in search of new challenges.
The start hasn’t been smooth—he was dropped for Real’s second LaLiga match after a tricky debut—but he insists he’s embracing the challenge.
“Liverpool made me who I am,” Trent said. “Leaving was one of the hardest decisions of my life.
But Madrid felt like the right step at the right time. The Bernabéu is sacred—you feel the weight of the shirt, and that’s what pushes you.”
Football Meets Fashion
Trent isn’t the only footballer Calvin Klein has turned into a style icon.
England captain Leah Williamson recently fronted her own campaign, rocking a 90s-inspired denim look with the brand’s Icon Cotton Modal underwear.
Chloe Kelly, Alex Morgan, Mary Fowler, Kenza Dali, and Mana Iwabuchi have also modeled for the American label, proving football stars are just as marketable in fashion as they are on the pitch.
