It¡¯s not every day you see Formula 1 star Charles Leclerc trade in his racing gear for a red carpet look, but that¡¯s exactly what happened at the premiere of Brad Pitt's upcoming film, F1: The Movie, in New York City. And what's even more surprising is that he brought his girlfriend, Alexandra Saint-Mleux, along with him, marking their first official appearance.?
Held in the heart of Times Square, the premiere felt more like a Grand Prix afterparty than a typical movie launch, with real F1 cars on display and cameras flashing nonstop. But it was Charles and Alexandra¡ªwalking in hand-in-hand¡ªwho stole the spotlight.
Charles showed up in an off-white suit that somehow made him look both polished and totally effortless. Alexandra matched the vibe perfectly in a black satin dress with delicate accessories¡ªsimple, elegant, and very her. While they¡¯ve been spotted together here and there, this is one of their first big public appearances as a couple.
After walking the red carpet, Charles shared his honest thoughts on F1: The Movie, which stars Brad Pitt as an F1 racer and features real race footage from actual Grand Prix weekends.
¡°I loved it,¡± he said. ¡°It felt super Hollywood, but they did such a great job keeping it real. They filmed during our actual races, and it didn¡¯t mess with us at all. The only scene I acted in was the podium at the end of the year. Everything else you see? "That's real.¡±
Yes, that means you¡¯ll actually spot Charles racing alongside Pitt in the 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix footage¡ªwhere, by the way, he finished third in real life.
Alexandra may not be a household name (yet), but she has already built a strong following on TikTok and Instagram, where she shares art history takes, fashion inspiration, and soft-spoken glimpses into her daily life. She and Charles reportedly started dating sometime in 2023, and while they keep things low-key, fans love how grounded and private their relationship feels. The duo has also been spotted together at Taylor Swift's Eras Tour as Alexandra is also a known Swiftie, which only makes the internet love her more.
Additionally, the couple have been spotted together at places like Wimbledon, a Lakers game in Los Angeles, and strolling through the streets of Paris. They also share a dog named Leo, who occasionally makes an appearance on Charles¡¯ Instagram, making them low-key one of F1¡¯s favourite dog parents.
