Before the U.S. Women's National Soccer team defeated Vietnam 3-0 in the first round of the Group Stage at the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, the team stepped out sporting a luxe new look.

Nike announced an exclusive collaboration with Martine Rose to create the USWNT custom-tailored suits, which the players wore for the first time in public on Saturday ahead of the first match.

While fashion and sports have long gone hand-in-hand for A-list athletes, fans are eagerly awaiting seeing their favorite U.S. soccer stars -- from powerhouse forwards like Megan Rapinoe, Alex Morgan and Sophia Smith to Rose Lavelle, Alana Cook and the rest of the squad -- in the specialty threads.

British-Jamaican menswear designer and founder, Martine Rose, shared the first glimpses of the suiting collection on Instagram earlier this week.

Rose shared select images of fittings with Rapinoe, Smith and Naomi Girma in the custom looks.

Rose also announced in the post that the Nike and Martine Rose collection will be available to shop online July 25.
