Why supermodel and former 'world's sexiest woman' Claudia Schiffer was spotted wearing Brentford shirt at Bees' win over Aston Villa

Schiffer was in the stands showing her support as Brentford sealed a narrow victory over Villa, with Dango Ouattara scoring the winner inside 12 minutes. Her husband, Vaughn, producer of hit films like Kingsman and Kick-Ass, recently confirmed his minority investment in the west London club alongside businessman Lubner. The glamorous couple were seen enjoying the occasion as Brentford built momentum for the new Premier League campaign.

Schiffer’s appearance at the Gtech Community Stadium adds a touch of star power to Brentford’s story as they continue their rise in English football. Vaughn’s involvement, together with Lubner, has been welcomed as a sign of growing ambition from the Bees’ hierarchy by CEO Jon Varney. The investment is designed not only to strengthen the squad but also to expand the club’s commercial opportunities globally.

Speaking to Brentford club media, Varney said: "This is an exciting time for Brentford. The club has enjoyed significant success in recent years, and this investment will build on that progress to help us continue to challenge in both on-pitch performance and off-pitch commercial growth.

"It is vital to us that any new investors understand and reflect the values of our club. Since we first met Gary and Matthew, we have been aligned on how they can make a positive impact. They bring different but complementary expertise, and I am excited to see what we can collectively achieve.

"Matthew Benham remains a committed majority shareholder who has brought the club an incredibly long way in a short space of time. Together with our new investors we have a shared ambition for continued growth and to thrive in the world’s most competitive football league. We thank our fans for their loyalty and support as we keep driving the club forward."

The Bees will be hoping that Vaughn and Lubner’s arrival helps Keith Andrews strengthen the squad in the transfer market. The Bees are determined to push for another strong finish in the Premier League while cementing their place as one of England’s most stable clubs. With Schiffer’s support from the stands, the west Londoners may be gaining a new global spotlight.
