Georgina Rodríguez is the epitome of a fashion icon, effortlessly blending glamour into every aspect of her life; even her athleisure looks radiate sophistication. For her, style is second nature (or perhaps, in this case, a second watch). The partner of football legend Cristiano Ronaldo has an undeniable knack for making bold statements, and her recent visit to AlUla, the ancient Arabian oasis city in Saudi Arabia’s Medina Province, was no exception.
Rodríguez, representing the Alo activewear brand, shared a series of captivating Instagram images with her 65 million followers, showcasing the allure of Alo against the breathtaking backdrop of AlUla. One image, in particular, caught our attention: a stunning selfie where the model flaunted her exquisite baubles and an intriguing mix of wristwear, two watches, no less. On one wrist, she sported the dazzling $400,000 Chopard ‘Heure Du Diamant’ watch, paired with a humble yet high-tech Apple Watch priced at around $700.
It was a striking juxtaposition of two worlds, luxury and practicality, colliding
seamlessly on Rodríguez’s wrist. The haute joaillerie masterpiece lived up to its name, shimmering like AlUla’s star-strewn night skies, while the Apple Watch, functional and understated, faded into the background. Yet, this pairing perfectly encapsulated her dual priorities: a commitment to fitness paired with an unyielding love for fabulousness.
The woman who described Saudi Arabia as “heaven on earth” once shared her secrets to maintaining such a glamorous and active lifestyle in an interview with Harpers Bazaar Arabia. “The truth is, I don’t stop. We travel so much, and you need boundless energy and motivation to manage all the responsibilities in my daily life. A strict routine of exercise and healthy eating is essential,” she said. Since Cristiano’s family relocated to Riyadh, Rodríguez has seamlessly embraced life in the Middle East, carving a space for herself in the kingdom.
Whether she’s striking a pose among AlUla’s dramatic canyons in the Nabataean Horizon District or skiing across Lapland’s frozen expanses, Alo activewear remains a constant companion. Her choice of wristwear, whether the glistening Chopard or the practical Apple Watch, seamlessly blends functionality with her signature flair.
