Ballon d'Or ceremonies nowadays are never complete without Barcelona's Lionel Messi stepping onto the red carpet wearing something truly extravagant and flashy. The diminutive Argentine has in the last three years worn a suit that was maroon in colour and was made out of velvet, one that had polka dots on it and last year one that was crimson red in colour. 

Needless to say, fans across the world are looking forward to seeing what outfit he wears tonight. The 4-time Ballon d’Or winner is expected to add to his tally and get his 5th Ballon d’Or, dethroning arch-rival Cristiano Ronaldo in the process.
