Kim Kardashian Debuts Her Formula One WAG Era At The Monaco Grand Prix In Gucci
Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton are rumoured to be dating, but I was waiting for the reality star to make an appearance in the paddock before I believed it. Because if you can spend an entire Grand Prix weekend listening to the constant soundtrack of engines, mechanics at work, and cars circulating a track for hours on end, it must be love.
This isn’t Kim’s first experience of life adjacent to sport. She previously dated Reggie Bush, Miles Austin and Kris Humphries, after all. But her first outing as a Formula One WAG just happened to take place in Monaco, one of the most glamorous destinations on the calendar, so naturally the expectations were high.
We all know about Kim’s long-standing relationship with Demna, so don’t be surprised that her F1 WAG debut came courtesy of Gucci.
Paddock Uniform
I was a little disappointed by the first Gucci Core look: a black lace bodysuit styled with Horsebit-detail denim, black leather pumps and Gucci GG2174S 001 sunglasses for Saturday’s practice sessions. Monaco calls for a certain level of glamour, and I was hoping for something fresher than an outfit that could just as easily have been worn on a shopping trip in Los Angeles.
On this occasion, I was actually more enamoured with Khloé Kardashian’s look. Mostly because I have finally succumbed to the capri-pants trend, and I love seeing how they work on fellow taller girls. Consider me a convert.
After Dark
By nightfall, Kim had changed into a Gucci Generation black leather jacket and matching trousers. The look instantly reminded me of the matching Gucci leather outfits David and Victoria Beckham wore in 1999, which feels oddly appropriate as Kim steps into a new WAG chapter.
Gucci sunglasses, black leather pumps and a Gucci Lunetta shoulder bag completed the look. As cheesy as it might have been, I almost wish she had worn this outfit during the day. It had the feel of an F1 race suit stripped of its sponsor patches.
Monaco Glamour
Things softened considerably for race day, when Kim wore a custom Gucci Core cream jersey dress inspired by the Resort 2027 collection.
The black leather pumps were a head-scratcher, but the draped silhouette delivered the kind of glamour that feels much more aligned with Monaco. It was sultry, unmistakably Kim, and far closer to what I had expected from her first Grand Prix weekend appearance.
I also suspect there was a conscious decision not to wear the original red runway look. Considering she was there as a guest of Ferrari, wearing red might have felt a little too on the nose. The softer cream shade gave the look a more daytime feel.
Gucci GG2276S 005 sunglasses completed the look.
Stylist: Dani Levi.
