Beyonce and Jay-Z looked anxious as they watched from the stands, with the singer wearing a white lace unitard with an oversized belted jacket and heels. 

Jay-Z wore a Yankees inspired outfit, fresh from his three-night residency at the Yankee Stadium, where he celebrated the 30th anniversary of his debut album, Reasonable Doubt.

He completed his look with chunky gold chains. 

Rihanna attended the match with her partner ASAP Rocky, delighting fans with her playful dance during a break in the match. 

She wore a black T-shirt with cropped khaki trousers and suede knee-high boots, while ASAP wore a baggy white tee and jeans.  

Rihanna was seen performing the Macarena dance during a break in the action at the final.  

When it comes to sports, Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet are known for their loved-up appearances at New York Knicks NBA games, but the couple swapped basketball for football on Sunday.

The couple were seen getting cosy and Timothee, 30, was more interested in his girlfriend, 28, of three years, than he was in the on-field action. 

He was seen staring into her eyes and planting a kiss on her lips after kick-off.

Top Gun star Tom Cruise, 64, was also in attendance, delivering a speech to fans prior to kick-off.

He flashed a giddy grin as he sauntered through the stadium ahead of his special appearance at the closing ceremony. 

Tom began by reflecting on the tournament's journey, stating: 'Thirty days ago, nations began a journey. They crossed oceans. They crossed borders. They crossed cultures. And together, they showed us why this game belongs to the world.

He described the 'unifying force of football' as a 'language spoken without words' that 'unites people' and 'turns strangers into friends,' reminding them of their shared humanity. 

Tom said: 'From every corner of the globe, we have witnessed greatness, and we have shared in moments of joy, moments of hope, moments we will all never forget.

'These stories now belong to each and every one of us, to every nation, to every player, to every supporter, to every volunteer, to every dream carried on the pitch.'

Fresh from their homeymoon, newlyweds actor Callum Turner and singer Dua Lipa took in the nailbiting game from the audience. 

The couple could be seen holding hands and smiling while engaged in a conversation as they left the stadium after the game. 

Dua looked incredible wearing a white halterneck top worn with jeans, a baseball cap and animal print boots, while Callum wore a black T-shirt and jeans. 

David and Victoria Beckham were later seen chatting with Tom Cruise, with whom they have been friends for almost 20 years.

It was a real family affair as Romeo sat next to girlfriend Kim Turnbull and Romeo's brother Cruz  enjoyed the match next to his partner Jackie Apostel.

Madonna sat next to younger boyfriend Akeem Morris before performing. 

The Queen of Pop performed during the halftime show, hot off the heels of the release of her new critically acclaimed album.

Robbie Williams enjoyed the game next to his wife Ayda Field, who looked stunning in a pale blue blazer and kooky white sunglasses as she supported her husband.

His sparkly World Cup look drew comparisons to one of TV's most iconic characters, after he took to the stage for the final's closing ceremony.

The singer was among a star-studded lineup who performed and Robbie took to the stage for the performance in a sparkly blue tracksuit adorned with diamantes, and the outfit quickly sparked reaction online.

One user noted the look was eerily similar to the tracksuit worn by mobster Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri in the series The Sopranos, which aired from 1999 to 2007.

Posting a snap of the singer, the post was captioned: 'Robbie Williams is in his Paulie from The Sopranos era.' 

Paulie was one of Tony Soprano's henchmen on the show, and later became a captain in the DiMeo  family in his quest for approval from family head Tony.

Known for his slicked-back wings, gold chains, and relentless one-liners, he was played by Tony Sirico, who died in 2022 after being diagnosed with dementia several years earlier.

Colombian sensation Shakira was one of the big names who took to the stage for the halftime show. 

She performed her hit Dai Dai with Burna Boy as her ex-husband Gerard Piqué, 39, watched on with their two sons Milan, 13, and Sasha, 11. 

Shakira has performed at four of the last six World Cups. She sang Hips Don't Lie at the closing ceremony of the 2006 World Cup in Germany, Waka Waka in 2010 in South Africa and La La La in Brazil in 2014. 

Canada-born crooner Justin Bieber performed a mellow acoustic track during his appearance. 

The closing ceremony featured appearances from Coldplay, Post Malone, Nicole Scherzinger, influencer IShowSpeed and Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson. 

Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick were in attendance, as well as Jessica Alba and her new boyfriend Danny Ramirez who were seated close to actor Javier Bardem.

The Queen's Gambit star Anya Taylor-Joy and her husband Malcolm McRae looked stylish at the game. 

Sportsman Tom Brady took a selfie with son Benjamin, 16, in the stands. 

Richard Gere hit the red carpet with wife Alejandra Silva before enjoying the game and Adrien Brody was seen chatting with the Matt Damon and his wife.

Trevor Noah was supporting Spain on the day, The Walking Dead star Norman Reedus posed for photos at the event and Will Ferrell also put on an animated display. 

Pharrell Williams was spotted in the crowd.

Rolling Stones rocker Sir Mick Jagger looked a lot happier than he did when he watched England lose to Argentina, shaking his head in dismay. 

New mother Ellie Goulding opted for a stylish all-black outfit as she made her exit with her boyfriend Beau Minniear.

While singer Ed Sheeran cut a casual figure as he departed the stadium after the match with a beer in hand. 

Organisers this week urged fans lucky enough to have a ticket to arrive up to four hours before the start of the game at the 80,000-seater stadium in New Jersey, a short drive outside of Manhattan, for Sunday's showdown between Spain and Argentina.

Fans were waiting for over four hours to have their tickets scanned in order to enter the stadium for the showpiece game.

The attendance of President Donald Trump meant that airport-style security measures were also being enforced for everyone making their way inside of the venue.

But the delays were compounded amid reports of glitches in FIFA's ticket-scanning system, meaning those who were fortunate enough to be at the front of the long lines still faced frustrating delays.
