Lewis Hamilton kicked off the 2025 season in style, dazzling the paddock with his fashion choices like he has in F1 for well over a decade. The seven-time world champion arrived to the Albert Park paddock dressed in all-black ahead of the media day, just before the season opener at the Australian Grand Prix.
Fashion has long been his way of expressing himself, which is why he ditched team apparel and started wearing designer clothes to the track. Mercedes allowed it for 11 years, and now, despite rumors that Ferrari’s traditions would prevent him from doing the same, it seems they have allowed it as well.
Hamilton had seized the opportunity to make a statement on his first official day as a Ferrari driver during a Grand Prix weekend, sporting a striking and expensive outfit.

The Briton wore a black jacket made by Jacquemus, which costs $1,115, and matched it with pants from the same brand, which are worth $720. He also sported a pair of Ray-Ban Mega Wayfarer sunglasses valued at $241.
No Hamilton outfit is complete without some jewellery, something that has gone on to become a part of his identity. He wore earrings made by Tiffany & Co. along with Chrome Hearts rings.
It doesn’t come as a surprise that the cameras were all around Hamilton the moment he stepped foot into the paddock. As has been the case in recent years, his arrivals have become synonymous with stylish ‘paddock fits.’
However, shortly before the press conference began, he ditched his all-black look and changed into a pair of jeans and a Ferrari t-shirt. Some things even Hamilton cannot avoid.
Hamilton’s most stylish looks so far
Hamilton is equally good at paddocks and red carpets when it comes to being the centre of attention with his fashion game. Before race day at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix last year, he wore an all-red Dior outfit which comprised of a roomy band collar shirt, matching baggy pants, and black boots.

Hamilton has certainly endorsed Dior like none other in F1. He arrived before the start of the Monaco Grand Prix 2024 in what is one of the toughest fashion choices to pull off for any grown man, a baby blue knit top. He also wore Cartier shades worth $1,095.

Hamilton raised eyebrows with his Rick Owens sequined suit and Rick Owens x Dr Martens boots with Marc Jacobs sunglasses, at the Jacobs’ Spring Runaway collection before the Miami Grand Prix 2024.

Hamilton might not have had the best of starts this season, but will aim to make amends at the Bahrain Grand Prix 2025. While he has some work to do on the track, off it he continues to remain the biggest ambassador of the sport. A lot of that has to do with his fashion choices.
