ANTONELA ROCCUZZO threatened to steal the show at David Beckham’s 50th birthday party.
Beckham invited 100 guests to a special black-tie event at exclusive Italian restaurant Cipriani in Miami, a month before his actual birthday.
Inter Miami – the Major League Soccer franchise owned by Beckham – players, including talisman Lionel Messi, were among the special guests present at the party.
Messi was accompanied to the event by his glamorous wife Antonela, who wore a stunning backless emerald green dress for the occasion.
Antonela, 37, shared pictures of her dress to Instagram.
She was seen sharing the photo lens alongside hubby Messi, who was looking dapper himself.
Messi’s childhood sweetheart captioned her post with a green heart emoji.
Beckham’s model wife, Victoria, was among those to gush over the look.
Victoria said in the comments: “Love this dress on you x kisses x.”
Brazilian singer and songwriter, Giulia, said: “Hermosa,” followed by a heart emoji.
Luis Suarez‘s wife, Sofia Balbi, wrote: “Tremendo,” alongside two fire emojis.
One fan said: “Obsessed.”
Another added: “The Greatest Couple.”
Antonela started a relationship with Messi in 2009 and married in 2017. They have three sons together.
On the party, Beckham wrote on Instagram: “So I thought I’d start celebrating slightly early, such a special night in Miami.
“So lucky to have amazing friends and family to start the 50th celebrations with. Love you.”
All of the Beckhams were in attendance aside from eldest son Brooklyn, who was said to be tied up in work commitments in Los Angeles.
Messi was joined at the party by Inter-Miami team-mates Suarez, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets.
Other big names in attendance included basketball great Shaquille O’Neal, NFL legend Tom Brady, filmmaker Justin Theroux and actress Cindy Crawford.
What do David Beckham’s tattoos mean?
Hands
Starting with the hands, and David Beckham has the word “Love” inked across the top of his left hand, with a swallow on either side.
This is joined by the numbers 723, a combination of the shirts he famously wore for Manchester United and later Real Madrid.
On his little finger, he has the year he was married.
Becks also has a small female-stick figure designed by his daughter Harper.
The devoted husband has “Posh” tattooed on a finger as a nod to wife Victoria Beckham‘s Spice Girls nickname.
Arms
Becks has two sleeve tattoos on both his arms with the centrepieces paying tribute to his marriage to Victoria.
The most famous of his body art comes in the shape of her name along the inside of his forearm, which is inked in Sanskrit.
Both Posh and Becks have Hebrew tattoos, which they got to celebrate their sixth wedding anniversary.
The matching tatts translate to, “I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine”.
Meanwhile, Becks also has a separate rose inking on his left arm to mark the couple’s tenth anniversary.
Neck
One of Beckham’s most famous tattoos is on his neck, which is a gothic style cross and wings.
It is symbolic of to his religion and acts as a protective guardian of his son Romeo, whose name is tattooed just below the angel wings.
Beckham also has the name of his daughter, Harper, on the side of his neck.
This was later updated to include the words “Pretty Lady”, to mark her fourth birthday.
Back
Beckham’s back tattoos serve as tribute to his sons.
He has angel wings at the top as a sign of protection for them.
Becks has both his eldest on Brooklyn, and his youngest son Cruz‘s names inked across his back.
Body
Beckham has a large chest tattoo that is an image of himself as Jesus, with three cherubs representing his sons, Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz.
The footy ace also has a vertical tattoo down his left side in Chinese symbols – this translates as “Death and life have determined appointments”.
Paying homage to his father, he has an inking of a ship at full mast – which is identical to the same one his dad has.
