Manchester City legend Kevin De Bruyne enjoyed an unforgettable evening as he was inducted into the Belgian Hall of Fame—though his wife Michele captured the attention of onlookers with her striking appearance at the event.
The 34-year-old playmaker received the newly created award in tribute to his outstanding career achievements.
De Bruyne, who secured six Premier League titles and the Champions League during his illustrious spell with Manchester City, accepted the honor at a ceremony on Sunday.
The former Chelsea star posted a series of photos on Instagram, writing: “What a night! Very honored to be inducted into the Belgian Hall of Fame.”
However, it was his wife Michele who truly drew eyes, arriving at the occasion in a sleek, low-cut black gown complemented by elegant jewelry.
Fans quickly filled the comments section beneath her own social media post with praise.
One admirer wrote: “Beauty.”
Another added: “Love love love!!!”
A third responded: “I am obsessed.”
A fourth simply stated: “Stunning!!”
The couple, who married in 2017 after becoming engaged beneath the Eiffel Tower in late 2016, share three children.
Erling Haaland sent a congratulatory video message to his former Manchester City teammate on the special occasion.
The striker—who did not score in Saturday’s 10-1 win over Exeter—said: “I just want to congratulate you for getting into the Hall of Fame. It is a big thing and you should be really proud of it. You truly deserve it. I really miss you here in Manchester, we had a great time together and I hope to see you soon.”
De Bruyne joined reigning Serie A champions Napoli last summer upon the expiration of his Manchester City contract.
A hamstring issue has restricted his appearances this season, limiting him to just 11 matches.
Despite playing only 760 minutes, the Belgian midfielder has still contributed four goals and two assists.
