Lamine Yamal fans suspect his girlfriend is behind changes in his personality
Fans are noticing a different side of the Barcelona star
L amine Yamal’s relationships have always been in the public eye , and it has been no different since he started dating Inés García. This time, however , fans have been pointing to a change in the player’s personality and style that many believe is impossible to ignore.
Since Yamal made his relationship with Inés official, fans have noticed a considerable change in the way he dresses, with many suggesting that García could be behind the transformation. Before, Yamal leaned more toward maximalism , often wearing oversized clothes with bright colors, bold designs and plenty of shine. Now, he appears to favor neutral colors, more fitted pieces and more traditional combinations .
And fans believe Inés’ influence goes beyond fashion
Inés is an influencer who shares content focused on beauty and fashion. She works with luxury brands but also features more accessible names such as Zara, while consistently showing looks that appeal to her followers and reflect an elegant and refined sense of style.
That has led fans to believe that Inés may have passed her fashion taste on to Yamal, with the Barcelona star now paying more attention to matching her aesthetic instead of relying on the more eye-catching style he used before .
It has also become common to see the couple coordinate their outfits carefully at gala events. A clear example came at the 2026 AFE Awards, where both appeared in coordinated white looks. Yamal wore black trousers, a dress shirt and tie with a beige bomber jacket, while Inés opted for a straight white satin dress that complemented his look.
Their coordinated looks have only fueled the speculation
Many fans believe Inés is also looking toward the international fashion aesthetic of references such as Hailey and Justin Bieber. Inés is a big Bieber fan, and the style she chose for the gala was a wink to a look Hailey wore at the 2022 Grammys.
Yamal is also continuing to grow his beard and mustache as part of his promise after winning the World Cup. While the challenge has changed his usual appearance, fans agree that the look suits him and believe he could consider keeping it.
