Lewis Hamilton just out-Kardashianed the Kardashians with this wild Monaco Grand Prix look

The Monaco Grand Prix has long been a showcase for more than just racing. Every year, the streets of Monte Carlo draw royalty, celebrities and some of the world's wealthiest figures, turning Formula 1's most glamorous weekend into a global spectacle. Yet before a wheel had properly turned at this year's event, Lewis Hamilton had already become one of the biggest talking points. The Ferrari driver arrived at the Circuit de Monaco on June 5 wearing a fluorescent sequined sheer top, beige trousers and tinted sunglasses, a look that immediately dominated social media and sparked a wave of fan reactions linking his style choices to his relationship with Kim Kardashian.

Why are fans linking Lewis Hamilton's Monaco look to Kim Kardashian?

Formula 1's official Instagram account posted Hamilton's arrival with the caption, "LH in the house ����." It did not take long for fans to fill the comments section with theories about the inspiration behind the outfit. Many pointed directly to Kardashian, who recently confirmed her relationship with the seven-time world champion.

"The Kardashian effect ����, " one fan commented.

"Kim picked that out for him," another replied.

"Kardashian making decisions ����," another wrote.

"He took that out of Kim's closet," one other fan added.

"Is @kimkardashian in the house �� ❤️," another responded.

The reactions came after months of growing public interest in the couple. Hamilton and Kardashian were first spotted together at Kate Hudson's New Year's Eve gathering in Aspen late last year. Reports of a countryside retreat in England followed, along with trips to Paris and a highly publicized appearance at Super Bowl LX. By early March, reports suggested the pair had become increasingly close, and their relationship continued to attract attention through outings in Arizona, Tokyo, Malibu and Coachella.

Any lingering doubt disappeared on June 1 when Kardashian officially shared their relationship on Instagram. Among the images was a video showing the pair cycling through New York City, with Kardashian humorously colliding into Hamilton, a clip that quickly spread across social media.

Still, attributing Hamilton's fashion choices solely to Kardashian overlooks a much longer story. Long before their relationship became public, Hamilton had established himself as one of sport's most influential style figures. His TommyXLewis collaboration with Tommy Hilfiger helped position him as more than an athlete endorsing clothes. He became an active creative force within fashion. Campaigns with Valentino and Dior followed, while regular appearances at the Met Gala further strengthened his reputation beyond motorsport.

That influence remains visible throughout Formula 1. Hamilton's paddock arrivals are often as closely followed as practice sessions, and his Plus44 clothing label has expanded his presence in the industry.

Fashion headlines aside, Hamilton enters Monaco with serious racing ambitions. A three-time winner of the event, he arrives as one of the leading contenders alongside Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc and Mercedes driver George Russell. He is also expected to unveil a special pink Ferrari helmet during the weekend, adding another layer of attention to a Monaco appearance that was already impossible to ignore.
