Two Argentina fans who made headlines around the world for going topless while celebrating their World Cup victory in Qatar have revealed they had artists paint their breasts especially for the occasion.
The two elated women, named only on their Instagram accounts as noe.dreams1 and Milubarbiie, were filmed with their tops off amid wild celebrations in the stands after Gonzalo Montiel slammed in his decisive penalty to secure a win over France.
The pair, who now refer to themselves as ‘The Topless Girls’, risked falling foul of strict rules in Qatar where women are banned from wearing revealing or tight clothing.
But their antics were either ignored or missed altogether by officials and both have since posted images showing themselves out and about in the country after the final. Noe, from the Argentine city of Quilmes, even posted a selfie showing herself on a plane home, claiming to have enjoyed ‘the trip of her life’.
She had earlier shared photos of men applying blue and white paint to their breasts in a hotel room in the run-up to the final – and further clips of her and Milubarbiie jumping around with their tops off alongside jubilant fellow fans.

The two revellers can be seen in their hotel room posing for selfies, wearing blue and white paint on their exposed chests.
Other videos taken of the proud fans show them celebrating with men in the crowd and heading off to dance into the early hours at a nightclub after the game.
Noe’s Instagram account is full of similarly racy holiday snaps.
In another post she wrote: ‘And I dedicate this flag to you my friends, family and all the people of Quilmes and the southern zone who always support me with messages and such beautiful words for expressing their pride and good wishes that I know they do from the bottom of their hearts! My whole life is in QUILMES…
‘I am proud to have been born in the city of beer… From Ezpeleta-Quilmes to the world’.
In a third post, commenting on the World Cup, she wrote: ‘Finished the best trip of my life’.
In the lead up to the tournament, fans were warned that they would be required to respect Qatar’s strict, conservative customs.
The Qatar Tourism Authority stated: ‘Visitors (men as well as women) are expected to show respect for local culture by avoiding excessively revealing clothing in public.

‘It is generally recommended for men and women to ensure their shoulders and knees are covered.’
In conservative Qatar, women are banned from wearing any revealing outfits such as tight clothing and from showing any cleavage.
Non-Qatari women are not required to wear the abaya – a long, black robe that covers the figure almost from head-to-toe.
But, tourists are to ensure that tops cover their midriff and shoulders, while skirts, dresses and trousers must hide the knees.

The often glamourous WAGs were advised to wear scarves around their necks to cover up their chests.
Commenting on the footage of Noe, one fan on social media said: ‘I spotted her, very brave! she’ll be arrested over there if she’s not careful…’
Another user said: ‘I’d be posting my boobs later to celebrate Messi and Argentina World Cup.’
Croatian model Ivana Knoll, 26, dubbed the World Cup’s ‘sexiest fan’ flouted the Muslim nation’s draconian dress code rules by wearing a series of daring outfits including swimsuits, insisting she doesn’t fear arrest.
