David Luiz showed up for the World Cup semis with Princess Leia buns

Best game day hair ever.

James Dator
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

David Luiz has got his game face on and is ready for Brazil’s World Cup semi final against Germany. How do we know this? He has his hair in twin buns.

This was a point of discussion among the SB Nation staff. One member has asked for their name to be removed, out of Star Wars shame.

Matt Ufford: Is his hair in ... buns?

*Redacted*: The gameday Slave Leia haircut. Such a cliche, but it works.

Clay Wendler: slave leia didnt have buns #nerdalert

Bill Hanstock: true

Now we need your help. We can’t get this image out of our heads. Help us find something to replace it.
