Lewis Hamilton<\/a> has cemented his place in fashion not only as he appears on the cover of the legendary Met issue of Vogue magazine, but also as co-chair of the biggest night of fashion, the Met Gala. The seven-time world champion shared a photo of the black and white cover, with the driver wearing a classic tuxedo.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Growing up in London with little money, fashion wasn’t a focus of his early life.<\/p>\n

“As a teenager I didn\u2019t have any money for clothes; my family and I spent it all on racing” he wrote in his Vogue feature<\/a>. 105 Formula 1 wins later and his life has changed dramatically, partnering with the likes of Tommy Hilfiger and more recently Lululemon. Since moving to Ferrari<\/a> after 12 seasons with Mercedes<\/a>, his fashion has evolved from more experimental to a more classic look, reflected on the Vogue feature.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Co-chairing the 2025 exhibition, ten years since he first attended, the Ferrari driver said the following:<\/p>\n

\u201cFirstly, it\u2019s a real honour and privilege and something that I\u2019ve been working on for a long, long time to get into that position. Just getting to go to the Met Gala was always something really special.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving seen the hosts before, I remember I would look on and think \u2018it would be cool one day to be a host\u2019. Anna\u2019s been so gracious as to include me within that group.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is such a prestigious event, but that one thing showed that it can be a great event and also have a positive impact,\u201d he added. \u201cShe\u2019s brought me on board and that\u2019s what we\u2019re doing on a bigger scale now moving forwards, so I\u2019m really grateful to be part of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The driver will serve alongside\u00a0Colman Domingo, rapper A$AP Rocky, singer Pharrell Williams<\/a>, and Vogue’s legendary editor Anna Wintour at the gala, as he helps to support the theme of \u2018Superfine: Tailoring Black Style\u2019 at the event in May.<\/p>\n

Commenting on his relationship with the Met Gala, he wrote the following:<\/p>\n

“Of course, I always wanted to go to the Met Gala, and I got invited for the first time in 2015. It\u2019s always been a privilege to attend, but in 2021, I no longer wanted to just be another person in the room.<\/p>\n

“I was working with Law Roach, who is a dear friend, and I was like, ‘What if we created a table together where we invite a few up-and-coming Black designers, have them dress some guests, and we all show up together\u2014so it\u2019s about creating space and opportunity?’ And also, I was going to buy the table myself.<\/p>\n

“Of course, everyone looked great, but I felt like that night opened up a dialogue about amplifying underrepresented voices and talent.”<\/p>\n

With a focus on celebrating black culture, Hamilton hopes this gala will “send a message.”<\/p>\n

“If you think about where we are in the world\u2014and particularly in the States, in terms of people pulling back on diversity\u2014I think this Met Gala sends a really strong message that we must continue to celebrate and elevate Black history.”<\/p>\n

The 2025 Met Gala will take place 5 May.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
