Welcome to the paddock, Kim Kardashian!
The styles of WAGS—wives and girlfriends of athletes, for the uninitiated or those who didn’t live in England through Victoria Beckham and Cheryl Cole’s early ’00s reign—has been pored over with the same analytical eye as what goes on on the pitch or court. And while it’s tended to be soccer WAGs that have permeated pop culture, in recent years, partners and spouses of tennis stars and basketball players have garnered attention for their fashions. Now, Kim Kardashian is officially making the case for styling up the Formula 1 paddock, where she’s cheering on boyfriend Lewis Hamilton.
Hamilton and Kardashian have only recently made their relationship Instagram official, but have been linked since the start February of this year. The couple were spotted at the Super Bowl, Coachella, and enjoying time in the English Cotswolds together, enjoying dinner in Miami, and out with their respective families as things looked to be getting more serious.

Kim appeared with sister Khloe, first aboard a yacht and then approaching the Monaco Grand Prix paddock on Saturday, June 6. Both stuck to their classic codes of style, with Kim choosing to nod to the original fashions of the earliest WAGs. Kim wore a sheer black, contoured and embroidered bodysuit, flared blue jeans, pointed black stilettos, and black shield sunglasses—with the contoured silhouette and mix of sexy-casual, it was very Victoria Beckham in Baden-Baden 2026-coded. Khloe kept things more Monte Carlo-summer-esque, in a plunging halter top, black capri pants, and thong sandals.
It’s a big week for Hamilton, who will attempt a hot first pole position for Ferrari. He’s known for his own statement-making style in and out of racing season, too; just last night, he appeared at the Circuit de Monaco in a bold sheer top studded in fluorescent sequins. The couple tend to meet sartorial minds in sporty details and big luxury labels, and have already found a strong style rhythm.
With a big racing schedule ahead of Hamilton, expect to see more of Kim Kardashian on the yachts and just off the track across the week.
