Real Madrid and Brazil superstar Vinicius Jr has set social media buzzing after debuting a new look following the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
According to a report by Brazilian outlet TMC, the 26-year-old forward recently underwent a chin harmonisation procedure at a dermatology clinic in Goiânia. The procedure was said to have taken place shortly after he returned from a holiday in Europe.
Photos and videos of Vinicius with a sharper jawline started circulating online this week, with fans divided over the change. While some praised the new look, others questioned why the Ballon d’Or contender would go under the knife during the off-season. The winger is yet to address the speculation about the procedure.
This isn’t the first time a top footballer has trended for a new look in the off-season. Players like Neymar, Ronaldo Nazário, and even Vinicius’ teammate Jude Bellingham have all made headlines for changing hairstyles or appearances during breaks.
