David Beckham was out of his seat going absolutely mental, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper were screaming, and half of England’s fans were throwing pints in the air. And Victoria Beckham? She just sat there with a seemingly unbothered face, but perfectly styled, looking like she was waiting for a bus rather than witnessing a dramatic winner.

But Maya couldn’t stay to party. To make it back to London in time for Sunday’s live Aftersun broadcast on ITV2, Maya had a taxi waiting outside Miami Stadium with her bags packed. She bolted from the stadium, jumped into her ride, and shared a video celebrating the win with a massive glass of white wine in the back seat, writing: “Side quest summer. I made it to work on time, live on your TV tonight at 10pm lol.” Talk about dedication!

Before England’s defeat to Argentina, Millie also uploaded a selfie to her story with the caption: “Come on boys!” along with the Beatles song Hey Jude, before then uploading a picture of inside the Atlanta stadium explaining that she is “not okay.” Showing her support after England lost, the actress wrote: “So proud to be English and so proud of my team!” Safe to say, she’s football-mad!

Paris Hilton proved that just because you’re watching football, it doesn’t mean you can’t be entirely glamorous. The stadium hadn’t even filled out for the massive USA vs Turkey clash in LA before Paris Hilton officially upgraded matchday into a full-blown family photo shoot. Just before it all kicked off, Paris didn’t just slip into the VIP boxes – she marched right onto the pitch to greet the players, bringing along her absolute ultimate accessories…her husband, Carter Reum, and her two toddlers, Phoenix and London. And because she’s Paris Hilton, they didn’t just wear standard fan gear. The entire family turned up in 100% custom, matching Adidas outfits covered in a patriotic red, white, and blue star pattern made specifically for the Hilton clan. As the players were finishing their warm-ups, Paris was on the grass snapping selfies and letting the world know her squad was ready. She later posted to her Instagram Stories: “I’m thrilled to have brought my ‘mimi’ team to their first soccer game. My heart is filled with joy that I can share this incredible experience with my kids.” Rockstars at semi-finals England’s epic semi-final clash with Argentina in Atlanta drew the absolute biggest names in British music history.
