Astrid Wett has never needed much of an excuse to make a statement, but the FIFA World Cup 2026 gave her the perfect stage. The British content creator, influencer boxer and Chelsea FC superfan was spotted at the FIFA Fan Festival in Atlanta, Georgia, during England’s unforgettable run in the tournament — and her Lioness-inspired costume was every bit as bold and attention-grabbing as you would expect from one of the UK’s most fearless online personalities.
Posting across her Instagram throughout July 1st and the days surrounding it, Astrid documented her World Cup experience in typically chaotic, thoroughly entertaining fashion — from celebrating England’s knockout stage victory over DR Congo to asking fans what on earth she was supposed to be doing at the festival, all while wearing an outfit that had her comments section absolutely buzzing.
Astrid Wett’s Lioness costume steals the show at the World Cup Fan Festival
The outfit itself is something to behold. Astrid arrived at the FIFA Fan Festival Atlanta in what can only be described as a Lioness-inspired festival look — a cropped white cut-out long-sleeve top tied at the chest, paired with an extremely short fluffy brown faux-fur mini skirt that barely covered anything at all.
Matching faux-fur cuffs on her wrists and knee-high fluffy brown boots completed the look, giving the whole ensemble the energy of a prehistoric football fan who had raided a boutique festival wardrobe on the way to the stadium.
The FIFA Fan Festival Atlanta branding looms large behind her in several of the shots, the colourful stage and big screens providing a vivid, sun-drenched backdrop to what is already a very vivid outfit. In one frame she stands pouting at the camera with her hands on her hips, surveying the festival grounds with the air of someone who knows exactly what kind of reaction she is about to get.
In another, she holds the fur cuffs out wide and roars at the camera — all teeth and attitude — which feels entirely appropriate for someone dressed as a Lioness at an England World Cup event.
A third shot captures her mid-pose, looking downward as she adjusts the fur cuffs, the white crop top twisted and knotted at the chest, the tiny fur skirt riding high on her thighs in the Atlanta sunshine.
And a fourth sees her leaning forward towards the camera with clawed hands and a wide-open expression that could charitably be described as ferocious — the FIFA Fan Festival sign clearly visible above her head, lending the whole image a wonderfully absurd, only-Astrid-Wett quality.
Astrid’s World Cup content was not limited to outfit shots.
She was clearly fully invested in England’s tournament run, posting video from inside the Fan Festival crowd as the USA had a goal ruled offside — captioning it “I’m not sure they know what offside is; they’re all so confused” — and racking up 491 likes on the clip.
England’s World Cup run — and Astrid’s reaction to it all
When England defeated DR Congo in the knockout stages, she was captured on video wrapped in an England flag amid wild scenes at the Fan Festival, the crowd surging around her as the result came through, with the caption “Are the boys bringing it home??” — a post that generated 1,104 likes and a lively comments section full of football debate.
User mattridleyfootball declared simply “HARRY KANE LEGENDARY”, while adamavfc2002 contributed “Let’s go mommmy what a win” — which tells you everything you need to know about the kind of comments section Astrid tends to attract. johnrobson14 went in on the tournament predictions with “Beautiful, I think it will be England France final x”, while hugovilas.1999 offered a more pointed assessment from a Brazilian perspective, suggesting England would be sent home in the quarter-finals just as they were in 2002. rdee24x backed France to win it, and annika_xox97 contributed an anagram of “lust” — which again, is Astrid Wett’s comments section in a nutshell.
The Lioness costume fan reaction — from outfit suggestions to date requests
The outfit posts themselves generated their own entirely separate wave of reaction. Astrid captioned one of the festival reels “So… what am I doing? (actually make it realistic lol)” — and her followers were only too happy to oblige with suggestions. emma.lfcvibes demanded “Wear an LFC shirt with Wett on the back for 24 hours”, landing 15 likes. mattridleyfootball countered with “Wear a Spurs Shirt” — a comment that presumably did not go down well with the Chelsea faithful. adamavfc2002 went in a completely different direction with “wear an Aston Villa shirt mommy” — 11 likes — while markdooley20 simply wrote “Delete social media please x”, which is either devastatingly harsh or genuinely affectionate depending on your interpretation.
chris.rm92 kept it cryptic with “My dishes”, gerald_6.7 requested a PS5, and tonywestrop made a compelling counter-argument to markdooley20 with “OK don’t delete social media.” Meanwhile, bodrogilajoskristof brought a refreshing honesty to proceedings with “date me. I’m just a poor guy” — a comment that racked up 4 likes and is arguably the most relatable thing written in any comments section this summer. jonaslike110 kept it simple: “Take me on a date.”

Astrid Wett’s World Cup style — bold, brazen and entirely on brand
What the Lioness costume at the World Cup confirms above all else is that Astrid Wett’s approach to fan culture is entirely her own. Where most England supporters opt for replica shirts and bucket hats, Astrid shows up in a faux-fur mini skirt, matching boots and a cut-out crop top, roaring at cameras and asking fans what she should do next. It is chaotic, it is entertaining, and it is utterly impossible to ignore — which, if you have been paying attention, is precisely the Astrid Wett formula.
According to the official FIFA World Cup 2026 website, the tournament’s Fan Festivals were designed to bring supporters together in host cities across North America — and on the evidence of Astrid’s Atlanta content, at least one British creator took that brief very seriously indeed.
