From the F1 paddock to Pinterest boards, Alexandra Saint-Mleux is fashion’s newest It-girl
If you’re an avid follower of social media fashion or Formula 1, chances are you’ve come across Alexandra Saint-Mleux. The Mexican-Italian beauty caught the public eye when she started dating Ferrari Formula 1 driver Charles Leclerc, and soon enough carved out her position in the F1 scene style stakes. And after this weekend’s Monaco Grand Prix, her name is on everyone’s lips.
Fashion and Formula 1 have always been inextricably linked—the glamour is palpable in the paddock— but in recent years the connection has only strengthened. This season, LVMH joined the sport as an official partner in a 10-year agreement, replacing luxury watch brand Rolex. The sport has evolved into a runway of its own, between Lewis Hamilton’s statement-making looks, Yuki Tsunoda’s street style—who just launched his own clothing brand—and appearances from A-list celebrities like Rihanna and Gigi Hadid. Style now means as much as speed in this sporting arena.
Yet, even in such an exclusive world, 22-year old Alexandra manages to stand out.
Here, we round up some of her most statement looks.
With circa 2 million followers, Alexandra’s influence has caught the attention of major brands, one of them being Rhode, the skincare label founded by Hailey Bieber. The brand is known for its clean girl aesthetic and saw a perfect alignment in Alexandra—another power couple moment.
Australian brand MESHKI also announced a collaboration with the Paris-born beauty earlier this week. This partnership felt all but inevitable— one that fans had long been hoping for. Alexandra has often been spotted wearing the brand, especially during Grand Prix weekends, where her chic-minimalistic looks consistently turned heads. The new collection channels her signature aesthetic with resort wear— modern silhouettes that strike a balance between effortless elegance and a little bit of edge.
Alexandra also made headlines at the Chinese Grand Prix in March. She chose an homage to Chinese style and wore a modern interpretation of a Cheongsam, by Hong Kong-based brand Sau Lee.
Meanwhile for a dinner event hosted by Nina Ricci, she chose an elegant ivory gown by the brand.
Alexandra regularly references her boyfriend’s Ferrari pedigree, with nods to the brand’s colour and logo, such as this Ferrari red dress by Jacquemus.
At the Singapore Grand Prix last year, Alexandra chose a handkerchief dress by Zimmermann, paired with a perfectly matched Bottega Veneta bag.
Alexandra chose a Clio Peppiatt Orchid Gown for the Festival des Étoilés in Monte-Carlo, paired with Ferrari motif earrings.
Never afraid to shine, Alexandra chose a sunset-hued ombre dress, also by Clio Peppiatt.
