8 pictures that prove Cristiano Ronaldo is supremely classy

Not Ronaldo the record-breaking footballer. This is Ronaldo the fashionista. Real Madrid superstar, Cristiano Ronaldo, is one of the best footballers on the planet – along with Barcelona's Leo Messi. When he dons the white of Real Madrid, he's unstoppable; goals, assists, darting runs and every other trait that would make a superstar, he has. In abundance. Ronaldo is also Real Madrid's record goalscorer having surpassed Raul's milestone of 228. His current tally stands at 235 placing him in a bracket reserved for those who tease the highest echelons of world football.While his performances on the pitch are an eye-catching affair, those off it are just as well. Ronaldo is a bit of a fashion icon. He's got the looks, he's got the money and judging by the following pictures, he's got the aesthetic standards that separate from most of the world's top footballers.

#1 White on the field, black off it

Ronaldo trades the white of Real Madrid for adark, sophisticated black that works well irrespective of occasion and event.

#2 Suit up

Nothing beats a man dressed in a tailored suit. Throw in an eye-catching tie and a pair of sunglasses and you have yourself a man who could command respect anywhere in the world. The private jet is a big big cherry on top.

#3 Black all the way

Combine the best of the first two images you've seen and you get this. Black suit, black shirt, black attitude. Perfection with a hint of ruthlessness, traits of a true winner.

#4 It\'s a Phantom

Valued at $400,000, the Rolls-Royce Phantom is not just a car – it's a statement; luxury to match cruise-liners and an engine powerful enough for you to question its intent. All Ronaldo has to do is match the subtlety which he does perfectly. Dark grey and white. Perfect.

#5 Gold is more than a colour

Light golden suit. Brown leather shoes. AGulfstream G200 private jet. That winning smile.

#6 White when it matters

"When you can carry white, you've carried the best of fashion." – Anonymous. Ronaldo just won fashion.

#7 Sense and scents

Winning on the pitch. Winning off it. A classic black suit, white shirt combination with respectable beautiful women and a perfume line to entice anyone. He has it all.

#8 Mornings with a Mclaren

"The Ferrari is a pair of stockings. The McLaren is a pair of tights. Scientifically and mathematically and practically, the McLaren is better." – Jeremy Clarkson on the Mclaren MP4 12C. Irrespective of who you are, what you're wearing and what you do for a living, if you drive a Mclaren MP4-12C just because you can, you've done it.
