Declan Rice swaps the pitch for the runway at the Labrum show – before joining Rio Ferdinand at the Burberry show

Declan Rice cut a dapper figure in a quirky navy suit as he walked the Labrum runway show during London Fashion Week at The Emirates Stadium on Monday.

And the Arsenal footballer, 25, wasn’t the only sports star in attendance at the fashion event as he was later spotted next to former player Rio Ferdinand on the front row at the Burberry show.

Declan looked every inch the perfect model as he walked his first fashion show in a navy jacket which boasted a white lace up tie down the front.

He teamed the number with a pair of matching trousers and opted for a white shirt buttoned to the top. 

The defensive midfielder, who earns a staggering £250,000 a week at Arsenal, kept comfortable in a pair of black trainers as he made his way down the catwalk with one hand in his trouser pocket. 

Declan looked in good spirits as members of the crew perfected his dapper outfit before he headed out.

Sitting front row at the show was former Arsenal player and pundit Alex Scott who looked cool in an all black outfit. 

She wore a fitted mesh Emirates cami top which she teamed with a pair of low rise floral patterned oversized trousers. 

Alex added inches to her frame in a pair of towering black knee high leather boots and chic pair of sunglasses. 

Styling her long tresses in a neat braid, the BBC presenter accessorised with a pair of silver hoop earrings and a colourful choker. 

During the show, Alex seemed in high spirits as she sat next to actor Nabhaan Rizwan.

Declan was later spotted heading to the Burberry show where he joined Rio and his wife Kate. 

Declan previously dipped into modelling in 2022 when he posed for multimedia magazine Circle Zero Eight – which was founded by former British GQ Style Deputy Editor and Fashion Director, Elgar Johnson. 

The then 23-year-old England international was pictured wearing Prada – having been shot by Maxwell Tomlinson and styled by Johnson for the first editorial cover story.

It comes after Declan recently gave fans an insight into his second career as he shared details with supporters online regarding his new hobby.

Declan has made a major impact for Arsenal since making the switch from West Ham last year. In addition, he is firmly established as a key player for England having been capped by the Three Lions on 60 occasions.

However, he missed Arsenal’s clash away to rivals Tottenham on Sunday following his controversial red card against Brighton prior to the international break. 

The footballer has started a photography Instagram account with the handle @dr.jpg.

The bio reads ‘Every photo taken by me’ and includes behind the scenes snaps that he has taken while on international duty with England this week.

Some of the images include Noni Madueke with his first England cap following the win against Greece, Harry Kane celebrating his 100th cap and Trent Alexander-Arnold with his player of the match award. 

In another set of photos, Declan is seen playing golf.
