The statement coat featured an asymmetric lamb shearling hem that added warmth and movement. Leather boots completed the look, while inside the studio, she changed into an off-the-shoulder black dress.

“I’m a Messi fan specifically, huge Messi fan,” Camila Morrone said.

“I’m a Messi fan specifically, huge Messi fan,” she said. “So my birthday is June 16, and Messi is playing the first game in Kansas City. So I think I have to go to Kansas City to spend my 29th birthday watching Messi.”

Her admiration for Messi is deeply tied to her cultural pride. Morrone honored her Argentinian roots at the 2024 Primetime Emmy Awards, where she attended the ceremony alongside her father. Speaking during the TNT and HBO Max pre-show for Latin America, she reflected on the significance of the moment.

“I am very proud to be here. I am with my dad, and this is a very special moment for me.” She went on to reaffirm her connection to Argentina, emphasizing that both of her parents and grandparents were born and raised there.

“I’m Argentinian! My mother and father were born and raised in Argentina, as well as my grandparents. I don’t have anyone in the United States, just mom and dad. So this telling me that I am not Argentine is no more! I just returned from Buenos Aires, I was also in Punta del Este, and I had a great time.”
