Sunday’s thrilling game against Slovakia is now a distant memory, and the families of the England players will already be landing at their next (and hopefully not last) destination on Tuesday.
The last time England travelled to Germany for the Euros, in 2006, the glamorous WAGS took centre stage, turning heads with their fake tans, hair extensions and sky-high heels.
And while this generation of WAGs is decidedly more casual, their look is equally luxurious.
The wives and girlfriends of the Three Lions, who landed in Erfurt yesterday, appear to have chosen a new uniform, swapping stilettos for designer sandals and some very expensive accessories.
The team, who brought many of the babies with them, chartered six private jets (at an estimated cost of around £17,000 each) for the one-hour flight from Dusseldorf to Erfurt.
Katie Bio, girlfriend of 28-year-old forward Ivan Toney, was also seen getting off a plane with the couple’s two children and a Goyard bag.
Declan Rice’s partner Lauren Fryer, 25, was also seen getting off one of the planes, also carrying a Goyard bag.

Declan Rice’s girlfriend Lauren Fryer, 25, joined Ollie Watkin’s partner Ellie Alderson, 28, and Aaron Ramsdale’s partner Georgina Irwin in sporting a Goyard Saint Louis PM bag on the catwalk, which retails for around £1850.
The WAGs’ uniform was completed with a Cartier Love bracelet. This designer piece, which is removed with a screwdriver, is a favourite of Meghan Markle, Jennifer Aniston and Kylie Jenner.
It costs between £4,550 and £59,500, depending on the exact model.
Ellie stylishly paired two of the bands, while Lauren also added the piece, along with another WAG favourite: a Van Cleef bracelet.
Love Island winner Dani Dyer, Jarrod Bowen’s girlfriend, has also been spotted in the stands at Love Bangle, as has John Stones’ partner Olivia Naylor.
Luke Shaw’s girlfriend Anouska Santos and Conor Gallagher’s girlfriend Aine May Kennedy also sport the cult classic piece.
And they are not the only jewels that the WAG family adores.
There is another must-have piece of jewelry that combines style and is a symbol of good luck.
So far in the tournament, Ellie Alderson, Dani Dyer and Olivia Naylor have all worn the four-leaf clover bracelet by French haute couture jewelry house Van Cleef & Arpels.

Dean Henderson’s partner was also seen walking towards a shuttle bus as planes lined up on the apron of the airfield. She was wearing a Van Cleef bracelet and the Cartier Love bracelet.
The WAGs arrived on six private planes (all photographed at Erfurt-Weimar Airport this morning)
Irish model and dancer Aine May Kennedy, 27, girlfriend of midfielder Conor Gallagher, 24, was seen carrying a handbag by luxury fashion brand Jill Sander and sporting a Cartier Love bracelet.
And Lauryn Goodmanbefore flying out to see the father of her two children, the England defender Kyle Walkerwho is married to Annie KilnerIn action last week, she was photographed with a similar-looking bracelet on her wrist.
The 18ct yellow or white gold Magic Alhambra bracelet retails at £4,200, although there are plenty of knock-off versions available at a more modest price for those not on a WAG budget.
The design was first dreamed up by Van Cleef decades ago in 1968, and the iconic jewelry brand claims the look was inspired by the clover leaf. It comes in a variety of colors, including emerald green and a chic navy blue.
It’s not the first time a WAG has fallen for this pretty piece either; Jack Grealish’s girlfriend Sasha Attwood wore two Van Cleef & Arpels bracelets during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar between England and Senegal.
The classic motif has become increasingly popular in recent months, with the Princess of Wales sporting a pair of Magic Alhambra earrings in one of her last public appearances before announcing her cancer diagnosis.
Ollie Watkins’ partner Ellie Alderson was spotted sporting expensive jewellery during the Denmark game on Thursday.
And Dani Dyer is a fan of the design, although the emerald colour suggests it may be a copycat version of Van Cleef’s 18-carat gold design.
John Stones’ partner Olivia Naylor wore two colourful versions of the Magic Alhambra design to complement her England shirt, which bears Stones’ shirt number.
The classic motif was first introduced by the jewelry house in 1968, and Van Cleef and Arpels has remained faithful to the design in the decades since.
Lauryn Goodman, who shares two children with England defender Kyle Walker, who is married to Annie Kilner, wore the bracelet, which symbolises good luck, at a photocall ahead of the Euros.
Kate wore a pair of earrings with two motifs that sell for £5,400 in her store. Together at the carol concert at Westminster Abbey in December.
The royal also wore a similar Alhambra necklace and matching mother-of-pearl earrings during a royal visit to the Bahamas in 2022.
Less expensive versions of this jewellery motif include a £12.99 version from Pretty Little Luxury and a mid-range £450 version from Chisholm Hunter.
It is understood that, unlike the rest of the nation, the WAGS were so confident Southgate’s side would beat Slovakia that they had already booked private jets for the quarter-finals.
Our supporting WAGs are racking up air miles and a carbon footprint, having already travelled an estimated total of 3,200 miles during the group stages.
Six private planes are believed to have landed at Erfurt airport at similar times yesterday to transport the players’ families and friends to the venue of their next match.
Lauren Fryer, 25, Declan Rice’s partner who stepped away from social media earlier this year following negative comments, looked relaxed as she walked down the airport tarmac, wearing chic beige wide-leg trousers and a plunging V-neck top.
Ellie Alderson, Ollie Watkins’ partner and the two of them, was also among those who arrived ahead of Saturday’s game at the Dusseldorf Arena.
Ellie, 27, a businesswoman in her own right who runs a successful interior design brand, opted for casual pinstripe trousers with a matching tank top and comfy-looking sandals.
Windy conditions left Aine Mae Kennedy, Connor Gallagher’s partner and Dean Henderson’s wife, battling the breeze as they disembarked from the luxury jets.
Anouska Santos, girlfriend of England star Luke Shaw, was dressed casually in a green and white striped T-shirt and light-coloured trousers as she arrived ahead of Saturday’s crucial match.
England’s WAGs will be spending time with their footballing suitors following the team’s victory on Sunday.
The Three Lions looked destined to crash out of Euro 2024 after spending the entire last-16 match trailing 1-0 to Slovakia.
However, thanks to a goal from Jude Bellingham five minutes from time and another from Harry Kane minutes later, the team qualified for the next round, where they will face Switzerland in the quarter-finals, in a match that will be played in Dusseldorf on 6 July.
