First and foremost, Sir Lewis Hamilton is one of the greatest Formula 1 drivers of all time. Following his history-making rookie season in 2007, he has won seven World Drivers' Championship titles so far and earned a reputation as an A-lister even outside the industry.
In particular, Hamilton has established himself as a leading man of fashion. Below, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite looks whether he’s hitting the racetrack, stunning on the red carpet and making moves with his bulldog.

For Hamilton, stepping on to the racetrack is more than just an arrival, it’s a moment. He consistently proves Formula 1 is also a premier backdrop for elite men’s fashion— just take a look at this citrus ensemble.

Sitting next to another fashion titan of entertainment, Hamilton elevated the industry’s standard black-on-black getup at the Paris Fashion Week Valentino show in March 2021.

“Pure magic,” Hamilton described the 2021 Met Gala on Instagram and we agree. From stylist genius Law Roach, the Mercedes driver used his platform on fashion’s most elite red carpet to spotlight young Black creatives.

Also from the mind of Law Roach, Hamilton graced the cover of WSJ Magazine for its Innovator Issue and was honored as 2021’s top innovator in sports. The sparkling beige suit evokes a humble trailblazing spirit, while the sheer tulle top presents the perfect opportunity to reveal Hamilton’s back tattoo and mantra: “Still I Rise.”
