Robbie Williams was mocked over the oufit her wore during his performance at the 2026 FIFA World Cup closing ceremony.
On Sunday, July 19, ahead of the World Cup final between Spain and defending champions Argentina, the 52-year-old British pop star took to the stage at New York-New Jersey Stadium alongside Italian singer Laura Pausini and Pussycat Dolls frontwoman Nicole Scherzinger for a rendition of the official FIFA anthem Desire.
Ahead of the performance, the closing ceremony was plunged into chaos as audience members were left confused by a delay. However, the three singers eventually performed wearing matching blue outfits. Williams, who donned a matching dark blue tracksuit, was then quickly mocked for looking like Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri from The Sopranos.
