Lewis Hamilton’s look for ‘The Met Issue’ of Vogue Magazine as the F1 racer co-chairs Met Gala 2025: Fans' reactions

A poat was added to the Instagram handle of Vogue Magazine, with the caption:

"When @LewisHamilton—one of the cochairs of this year’s #MetGala—was growing up outside of London, there were no museums near him, there wasn’t much diversity, and there was certainly no money for clothes. “My family and I spent it all on racing,” the Formula 1 star recalls. So he’d wash cars in his neighborhood, using what he scraped together to “go to the little thrift store in town and get the Tommy Hilfiger pieces that I saw in music videos."

It continued,

"They gave me the confidence to show up and say, ‘This is who I am.’” Despite the pressure to stick to a uniform—suits and team kits only—Hamilton would bring a similar confidence to F1, his style creating yet another means for him to claim space in the sport. “I want to turn up to the track in what I want to wear,” he says. “I’m here now—you can’t get rid of me or change the way I dress.”

It then concluded,

"For Vogue’s May 2025 issue, celebrating “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” at the @metcostumeinstitute, Hamilton speaks about dressing up, showing up, and making no apologies. As told to Leah Faye Cooper"
