Victoria and David Beckham, along with actor Timothee Chalamet, were among the notable figures at Dallas Stadium for the World Cup semi-final match between Spain and France on Tuesday. However, the celebrity attendees found themselves equally star-struck by a different iconic group: the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders (DCC), who performed at the venue.
The DCC have gained significant popularity following their appearances in three seasons of the Netflix docuseries "America's Sweethearts." Victoria Beckham, known for her signature "Posh" pout, was seen posing with pom-poms and jokingly asking if she had made the squad. The DCC girls responded positively, reposting a photo with the Beckhams and their children, Romeo, 23, Cruz, 21, and Harper, 15.
Victoria Beckham also shared a video of the cheerleaders performing their "Thunderstruck" routine on the field after the match. David Beckham also joined in the photo opportunities, posing with his wife and the DCC members in their VIP suite.
Timothee Chalamet, an Oscar nominee, was also seen interacting with the cheerleaders. The DCC's Instagram account shared a video of Chalamet admitting he was "starstruck." He was particularly noted for hugging DCC member Anna Kate Sundvold and borrowing pom-poms for a photograph.
The match itself took place at AT&T Stadium, temporarily renamed Dallas Stadium for the event. Spain secured a victory over France, with goals in both halves. The Beckhams, who had prime seats with their three younger children, were observed looking tense during the game. David Beckham, who has prior playing experience in Spain and France, was seen conversing with Chalamet, who wore a French football jacket.
Following the match, fans like the Beckhams are expected to travel to Atlanta, Georgia, for England's semi-final match against Argentina on Wednesday. The Beckhams indicated they would be supporting England in their upcoming game.
