Lewis Hamilton Closes Season in Custom Dior and $1.3M Watch at Abu Dhabi GP

The 2025 Formula 1 season concluded Sunday at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, and while Lewis Hamilton’s on-track performance in his first year with Ferrari may not have delivered headline-making race results, his fashion choices once again dominated paddock conversation. The seven-time world champion arrived for the final race weekend in a series of luxury looks that proved his title as the sport’s leading fashion icon remains untouched.

Hamilton, who has become well known for elevating race-week style into a form of personal expression, turned heads throughout the Yas Marina paddock — and closed out the season in a dramatic custom Dior look paired with a $1.3 million Richard Mille watch.

Runway-Inspired Qualifying Look

For qualifying on Saturday, Hamilton wore an all-cream ensemble styled by longtime collaborator Eric McNeal. The outfit came directly from Ferrari Style’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection by designer Rocco Iannone, featuring a structured sleeveless utility vest and oversized cargo trousers — a couture take on race overalls.

The crisp off-white shade contrasted sharply with Ferrari’s signature red garage backdrop. The outfit was accessorized with:

• Ray-Ban RB4457D bio-based sunglasses — valued at $151

• Polite Worldwide multicolor pearl necklace — around $700

• Richard Mille RM 43-01 tourbillon split-seconds chronograph — worth approximately $1.3 million

The ultra-rare timepiece, developed in partnership with Scuderia Ferrari, is one of the most expensive watches worn regularly in modern sport.

Season Finale Style: Custom Dior

For Sunday’s finale, Hamilton arrived wearing a custom Dior look by designer Jonathan Anderson, marking one of the first public debuts of the fashion house’s new creative direction. The standout piece was a deep green textured zip-up jacket constructed from layered scalloped panels that created fluid movement as he walked.

He paired the jacket with:

• Voluminous navy wide-leg trousers

• Gloss black boots

• The same Ray-Ban RB4457D sunglasses and Polite Worldwide pearl necklace

The blend of sculptural tailoring and high-fashion detailing reflected Hamilton’s established aesthetic — bold silhouettes, sustainably made pieces, and couture craftsmanship.

Fashion Leadership Beyond Racing

Hamilton’s influence in fashion has grown steadily over the past decade. In 2025, he served as a co-chair of the Met Gala, reinforcing his position at the top of the global style conversation. Known for supporting sustainable and cruelty-free materials, Hamilton continues to push for ethical production across luxury fashion.

Although Hamilton began 2025 dressed primarily in Ferrari team apparel, he quickly returned to curated wardrobe statements throughout race weekends — a signature element of his personal brand.

With Ferrari expecting stronger competitive momentum in 2026 and Below Deck returning to TV next season, Hamilton’s dual identity as elite athlete and fashion leader appears firmly intact.
