When it comes to iconic celebrity couples, two that always come to mind are soccer legend David Beckham and his stylish wife, Victoria Beckham, and soccer superstar Lionel Messi and his spouse, Antonela Roccuzzo. While the Beckhams tend to be much more visible when it comes to their appearance in the public eye, that does not hold true for Messi and his wife.
In 2017, the world of soccer power couples faced an interesting comparison. On one side of the fence, there is Victoria Beckham, a former Spice Girl and fashion designer and then there is Antonela Roccuzzo, the wife of one of the best players of all time.

In 2017, Ricky Sarkany, one of the most famous shoemakers in Argentina with boutiques throughout Latin America, opened his first boutique in Europe. He did so alongside Roccuzzo and another close friend, Sofia Balbi, who is the wife of former Barcelona star Luis Suarez.

In a subsequent interview, Sarkany shared his interesting insight on Antonela Roccuzzo. He remarked that despite being famous, Roccuzzo naturally tends to stay out of the limelight. This brought up a comparison to Victoria Beckham, who doesn’t shy away from being in the public eye.
This brought forward the statement that “Antonela Rocuzzo will never be like Victoria Beckham”. In response to this, Sarakany added, “No no. She is the antithesis, but she can still be influential like Victoria Beckham. People follow Antonella, they love her”.
He further added that there are two distinct paths for celebrities. “There are those who attract attention for showing themselves a lot and those who generate that effect for the complete opposite,” the designer concluded. Today, there are still major differences between Victoria Beckham and Antonela Roccuzzo, with the latter remaining far more private. However, this hasn’t stopped her from making major brand endorsements.

Antonela Roccuzzo is keeping a low profile but nonetheless has taken on a new business venture. The Argentine recently signed a brand endorsement deal with French perfume and cosmetics brand Guerlain. Taking to her Instagram, she shared an image of herself and thanked the brand for trusting her.

Translating from Spanish, she commented, “Thank you @guerlain for trusting me for this new project. Looking forward to telling you more”. In conclusion, while comparative analyzes such as a comparison between Messi’s wife and Beckham’s, the latter of whom leads a very visible and influential life, can be made, it does not diminish the potential to be just as, if not more, influential.
