貝克漢姆的發型一向是時尚的風向標，從1997年的清純中分，到2002世界杯的莫西干，再到2003年的麻花辮，貝克漢姆多邊的發型不知換來多少女球迷的尖叫……不過近段，小貝卻在“頭上”屢栽跟頭，前不久的“馬桶蓋”發型被人認為“土的掉渣”，這次染的亮金色不知會不會再起反作用。貝克漢姆的新發型可以說是他在皇馬的最后一次變形了。

David Beckham is sporting a new platinum blonde hairstyle as he prepares to bring down the curtain on his Real Madrid career before joining American club Los Angeles Galaxy in the summer.

Beckham, who was uncharactistically coy about showing off the look on arrival at Real's training ground as he hurried inside, has gone through a range oftonsorial metamorphosesin his four years in Spain.

Most notable was the "samurai" look with which he wowed Asian fans on first joining the club during an Asian pre-season tour.

Now a fashion icon as much as a footballer in this the twilight of his career, the 31-year-old has changed his hairstyle ten times in his four years at Real according to a count by sports newspapers AS and Marca.

Both papers gave front page coverage to the news that the former England man has again spent time at the hairdressers.

Beckham, who turns 32 on Wednesday, is set to play in Sunday's encounter at Athletic Bilbao as Real chase hard in the final furlong for the league title.

They trail leaders Barcelona by just two points with seven games to go and Beckham therefore has a real chance of finally winning something with the Spanish giants.

Beckham's new look is similar to the one sported by Valencia goalkeeper Santiago Canizares, who Beckham helped tobamboozlelast weekend with thefreekickfrom which Real defender Sergio Ramos headed home the clincher in a 2-1 victory.
