A year ago, Saint Mleux’s Instagram was still private – now, she regularly stuns on race weekends in designer looks, has nearly 2.5 million followers, and works with major brands

Alexandra Saint Mleux may not be getting behind the wheel on race weekends, but she’s certainly one of the most recognisable faces in the Formula One paddock. The 23-year-old girlfriend of Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc has claimed her title as the sport’s “It girl” with her impeccable style and elegant demeanour.

While she maintains a career in arts – she studied the subject and currently runs an art-focused Instagram page – Saint Mleux’s eye for fashion is what’s getting her plenty of attention. In just over a year, Saint Mleux’s previously private Instagram account skyrocketed from under 1,000 followers to nearly 2.5 million, thanks largely to her incredibly chic appearances at numerous Formula One races and events. That fashionable profile has catapulted Saint Mleux into partnerships with a range of well-known brands – she’s worked with Hailey Bieber’s Rhode and in May, debuted her resortwear collection with Australian label Meshki during the Monaco Grand Prix weekend.

From China to Italy and the UK, here are five recent looks that have cemented Saint Mleux’s status as F1’s style icon.

Earlier this year, Saint Mleux stole the spotlight at the Shanghai Grand Prix with looks that paid homage to Chinese heritage. On March 21, she stepped into the paddock wearing a black minidress by Hong Kong-based label Sau Lee that featured a Mandarin collar and red knotted accents in a nod to the traditional cheongsam.

She added a modern twist with red ballet flats and dark sunglasses, perfectly matching the outfit’s colour palette. For the finishing touch, Saint Mleux blended fashion, motorsport and romance by carrying a custom Ferrari Style Maranello clutch inspired by Leclerc’s personal Daytona SP3.

She ended the weekend with a soft pink co-ord that featured another cheongsam-style top, and Sau Lee’s Vanessa midi dress in black, which she paired with a Saint Laurent Cinq-a-Sept mini bag and patent leather stiletto boots.
