Lewis Hamilton has long been regarded as one of the most stylist sportsmen, and the driver is reportedly eyeing a more permanent future in fashion after saying the farewell to his Formula 1 career.
The British driver was the first F1 driver to treat getting dressed up for the walk into the paddock as part of the performance each race weekend.
Lewis Hamilton's first-ever fashion show
Hamilton's first fashion show was Hugo Boss in 2011, and since then he has partnered with more high-end brands, including Louis Vuitton, Tag Heuer and Moët & Chandon, and is launching a collection with Luluemon.
Besides his remarkable achievements on the grid, the seven-time champion commands attention via his paddock fashion.

In a very Monegasque style, Hamilton stunned in one of his boldest looks, as he rocked a sheer sequined top, giving fans a glimpse of his tattoos, with relaxed tan trousers, tinted sunglasses and layered diamond jewellery.
Going an extra mile, Hamilton arrived head-to-tow in Issey Miyake Fall 2026 during race day in Monaco.
He wore a light beige suit with asymmetrical draped trousers and a dramatic violet overcoat, which elevated the overall look.

Ahead of the 2026 Italian Grand Prix, Hamilton arrived in Monza wearing a crisp black suit and tie black beret and sunglasses.
A long camel coat was also draped over his shoulders, giving the outfit a more elegant style.
Lewis Hamilton's humble background
Born in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, in 1985, Hamilton grew up on a council estate with his mother, Carmen, before moving in with his father, Anthony, at the age of 12.
His parents had separated when he was two, and his father juggled multiple jobs to finance a career in perhaps the world's least accessible major sport.
Hamilton was five when he received a remote-controlled car for Christmas; by eight he was karting competitively, and by thirteen he had become the youngest driver signed to McLaren's young driver programme.
Lewis Hamilton's fashion growth
As his F1 career took off, so did his fashion, which prior to his impressive racing career depended on charity shop hand-me-downs, TK Maxx and old-season sales.
He has collaborated with a number of notable designers before teaming up with Kim Jones at Dior and also launching his own label, +44.

The label is his own eco-conscious streetwear line, which features bold racewear-inspired graphics and high-profile artist collaborations with creators like Takashi Murakami and Hajime Sorayama.
In a recent interview with The Time, Hamilton says he would "love" to "lean far more into fashion" after putting down his helmet.
