New Yorkers know that early September is synonymous with New York Fashion Week and the US Open finals, so it's no surprise Lewis Hamilton, with close ties involved in both, was spotted at some of the hottest tickets in town. While his fellow F1 drivers were enjoying the off-weekend as a relaxing reprieve from a demanding 2024 schedule before the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Hamilton spent a whirlwind weekend in New York City, complete with stylish outfits while rubbing shoulders with the likes of Rihanna, Anna Wintour, and Noah Lyles.
The Mercedes driver's itinerary began with a surprise appearance at the Alaïa show on Friday, held in the rotunda of the Guggenheim Museum on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. He dressed the part of an NYFW attendee wearing a double-breasted black coat with dark shades and a diamond necklace, while watching pal Kendall Jenner traverse the ramp-turned runway. His front row seat put him next to elites like Karlie Kloss, Greta Lee, and a fashionably late Rihanna, who glittered in a custom crystal creation from the French brand.
