Tuesday, May 6, 2025 - British racing driver, Lewis Hamilton graced the 2025 Met Gala red carpet in a custom ivory suit by Grace Wales Bonner, complemented by a matching beret and vintage jewelry.
As co-chair of the event, themed "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," Hamilton's attire paid homage to Black cultural heritage.
The ensemble featured symbolic elements such as cowrie
shells and mother-of-pearl buttons, reflecting his African roots.
The Formula One star collaborated closely with designer Grace Wales Bonner and stylist Eric McNeal over several months to craft this meaningful look.
In an interview, Hamilton expressed his honor in co-chairing
the event and highlighted the importance of representing Black designers and
culture on such a prestigious platform. He recalled his journey from buying a
table to support Black designers in 2021, to now working directly with Anna
Wintour to shape the Gala’s future.
