Kim Kardashian did not arrive in Monaco quietly.
The reality star and Skims founder was photographed in Monte Carlo on Friday, June 5, where Lewis Hamilton was competing during the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix weekend. Just Jared reported that Kardashian arrived by boat in a full Gucci leather outfit, black sunglasses, and a sleek all-black finish.
The look gave Hamilton’s race weekend a celebrity-fashion jolt only days after Kardashian put him directly into her Instagram feed.
Kim Went Full Leather for Her Monaco Arrival

Kardashian’s first Monaco look was built around a black zip-up leather jacket and skintight leather pants.
ELLE reported that she paired the outfit with black heels, black sunglasses, and a Birkin bag. The outlet also noted that the look strongly resembled a leather outfit Victoria Beckham wore in the 1990s.
The comparison fit the setting. Monaco Grand Prix style has always had a glossy celebrity edge, and Kardashian’s outfit leaned into the old-school WAG and fashion-week overlap more than casual race-day dressing.
Just Jared reported that Khloé Kardashian and family friend Simon Huck joined Kim on the boat as she arrived in Monaco.
Her Second Look Went Softer but Still Kept the Drama
The leather look was not Kardashian’s only Monaco outfit.
ELLE reported that she was seen again the following day in a semi-sheer black lace bustier with wide-legged jeans. She finished that outfit with aviator sunglasses and pointed-toe heels.
The two looks gave the weekend a clear fashion contrast. Friday was full black leather, zipped and polished. The next appearance moved into lace, denim, and a more relaxed Riviera silhouette.
Both outfits kept the focus on Kardashian’s arrival as more than a quiet show of support. She came into the Grand Prix weekend dressed like the paddock had become another celebrity front row.
Hamilton Had His Own Head-Turning Monaco Look
Hamilton’s style was also part of the conversation before Kardashian’s arrival.
People reported that the Ferrari driver arrived at the Monaco paddock on June 5 wearing a sheer, long-sleeved top covered in fluorescent sequins, tan trousers, black shoes, tinted sunglasses, and diamond jewelry.
The outfit prompted some social-media jokes about a “Kardashian effect,” but longtime Hamilton fans pushed back. People noted that Hamilton has been known for bold paddock fashion for years and has previously spoken about pushing against traditional Formula 1 dress expectations.
That makes the Monaco weekend more interesting than a simple “Kim influenced Lewis” story. Both arrived with a clear fashion identity, and the overlap made the relationship look unusually camera-ready for an F1 weekend.
The Monaco Trip Follows Their Instagram Hard Launch
Kardashian’s Monaco appearance came days after she shared Hamilton in a June 1 Instagram carousel captioned “lately.”
Harper’s Bazaar reported that the post included a selfie and video from a bike ride with Hamilton, turning their relationship into an Instagram-official moment. In the clip, Kardashian nearly veered into Hamilton while he recorded them riding together.
ELLE also reported that Hamilton had appeared in Kardashian’s social orbit before, including posts tied to Coachella and a Tokyo trip earlier this year.
The Monaco arrival now gives the relationship a bigger public setting. A bike ride made the romance feel casual and funny. The Grand Prix made it polished, visible, and wrapped in leather, lace, sequins, sunglasses, and Ferrari-weekend attention.
