Ruby Mae started off as a horse riding pro in her hometown of Leicester - but now she's dating England Ace, Dele Alli, dressing like her idol, Kim Kardashian and living in a £2million mansion
SHE'S one of the newest members of the England WAG squad, and arguably one of the most beautiful - so England ace Dele Alli must be feeling cheery that he's coming home with model Ruby Rae - despite the result last night.
The stunning brunette watched her man play from the stands alongside the rest of the WAG squad, and planted a kiss on his cheek when he came off the pitch defeated.
Ruby looked red hot with her Kardashian-esque hair flowing down her back and a full face of make-up.
But she has gone through quite the style transformation since she started dating Dele Alli two years ago.
The 23-year-old lingerie model from Stoneygate in Leicester has gone from a horse riding-obsessed teenager to WAG of the moment, living in a £2.2m pad in Hertfordshire.
And not only has her bank balance changed, so too has her appearance - gone is the unrecognisable blonde woman from a small town in the East Midlands, and in her place is a sultry brunette WAG.
The formerly shy model's old Instagram pictures show her hanging out with her friends and chilling in her slippers.
But now she spends her time eating at fancy sushi restaurants, dressing like her idol Kim Kardashian, modelling for global fashion houses and holidaying in Med with her boyfriend - who earns £50,000 a week.
Ruby has modelled for Dolce and Gabbana and Chanel, but as well as a pretty impressive designer wardrobe she has also has modelled for high-street brands including Lipsy London, Miss Pap, Pretty Little Thing and Pour Moi.
She previously revealed that her fashion icon is Kim Kardashian because “she has the best style. Whatever she wears, everyone wants it.”
Discussing her own style, she said: “It's quite edgy. I like to have a lot going on with my outfits, so rather than just wear a dress and heels I always try and mix it up with layering pieces and accessories, too.
"My look of the moment is cycling shorts paired with a jacket off the shoulders," she adds - which, funnily enough, is a favourite look of Kim K's at the moment.
Like any good WAG, Ruby doesn’t just have a footballer on her arm - she usually has a pretty pricey designer bag too.
As a Chanel model it’s no surprise she favours the French brand, and she was seen sporting gold Chanel stud earrings worth £500 as she watched her man defeat Columbia.
The model was spotted carrying a £1,000 Louis Vuitton handbag when she attended a Boohoo.com event with Dele, and she also shared a snap of her posing at a football match carrying her £1,460 Balenciaga Classic City bag.
The model also regularly wears a £3,500 Cartier Love bangle on her wrist, and her and Dele often rock matching pairs of £290 Adidias x Raf Simons kicks.
On nights out she likes to go classy in strappy shoes but, surprisingly, she veers away from WAG designer brands.
Instead, she often chooses footwear from her ranges, including a £60 pair of Miss Pap over the knee silver slouch boots.
It's definitely not all about the pricey designer gear though - and when she attended pal Maya Jama’s fashion launch she wore a £15 sheer bralet from PrettyLittleThing.
Ruby keeps her 80,000 followers well updated with her Instagram posts, and just a glance at her feed shows she is living her best life.
As well as sharing snaps of her cute dog Douglas and selfies with her friends, she gives fans an insight into her world of luxury holidays and plush modelling shoots abroad.
“I got spotted at the age of 15 and have been doing it ever since," she said, when asked about her modelling career.
"It wasn’t something I’d always strived to be as I originally thought I might become a vet or a make-up artist, but my mum is a model and I've always been tall and skinny so it just happened quite naturally.”
Ruby is cousins with fellow model Bealey Mitchell, former partner of England cricket player Stuart Broad, so snagging sportsmen might even be in the blood.
Ruby has been stealing the limelight because of her natural beauty and enviable figure.
“I always look after my skin but I find that cleansing can make it worse so I usually just take my make-up off with a face wipe and then invest in good moisturisers,” she told .
And she’s not even eating a pure kale diet and killing herself in the gym for her body.
“I’ve always been really lucky that I’ve never had to worry about what I’m eating,"; she said. "I’ve tried to put on weight but I can’t.”
But she does have one tip for working on her rock hard tum – horse-riding. She’s been rider since she was young and it’s clearly paid off.
She adds: “I was into gymnastics and horse riding – they were the two hobbies that I stuck at. I ask my mum for a horse every birthday, but I’m still waiting! I don’t enjoy the gym but I still ride when I can so I guess that’s my form of exercise.”
Like every WAG, Ruby LOVES a holiday.
In fact, she told Next the best advice she has ever received is: “Have fun and be yourself.” And she certainly does that.
She was a massive fan of Ibiza even before she went out with header hero Dele, but since they’ve got together the holidays have got even more showy.
Ruby has hung out at celebrity favourite Blue Marlin in Ibiza, Formentara, Mykonos in Greece as well as Dubai and Las Vegas.
Dele has said before that it's Ruby who calls the shots in terms of what restaurants they go to. And she clearly likes the finer things in life.
The England star claimed they're big fans of swanky central-London sushi restaurants - a far cry from what he's used to in Milton Keynes - although they just as often end up in good old Nando's.
If Dele delivers against Croatia, the pair deserve it all.
