IRISH eyes were sighing at Melissa Reddy’s latest Corking-hot outfit.
The Sky Sports presenter chose what she labelled “one of the coolest kits ever” for France’s Euro 2024 quarter-final with Portugal.
Kylian Mbappe and Co only won on a shootout – but Melissa triumphed emphatically with her surprise look, according to her social media followers.
The broadcaster posed in a leather-style slit skirt and a top from League of Ireland side Cork City at the Volksparkstadion in Hamburg.
Quick responses online from Ireland included: “Fantastic choice,” …”Class jersey in fairness”… and “Smashing jersey that Cork City one!”
But reaction from wider afield was just as glowing.
“The outfit is gorgeous,” said one admirer.
Other viewers contrasted Melissa‘s dazzling display with the more dour offering on the pitch.
It saw Cristiano Ronaldo, 39, possibly bow out of international football – and in frustrating fashion.
The Portugal captain made little impact as a contest of few chances finished 0-0, although he did net his spot-kick when Robert Martinez‘s men exited 5-3 on penalties.
One viewer told Melissa: “You look better and beautiful than the match itself.”
The 37-year-old herself explained her tactical decision in picking a Cork top.
And she appeared to reckon critics of the match should… chill out.
The South African wrote: “Opted for one of the coolest kits ever in a super cool city to watch an ice-cold Euros match up.
“I know a lack of goals is automatically bemoaned as low quality, but some of the defending and individual battles last night!!!”
“It’s not the stuff of highlights reels and viral social loops, but it is decisive at the highest level, beautiful in its own way on this scale.”
