Carlos Sainz’s Partner Stuns with Bold Fashion at Italian GP Paddock

At the Italian Grand Prix paddock in Monza, the partners of Carlos Sainz, Charles Leclerc, and Pierre Gasly drew attention with their striking fashion choices on September 5. Rebecca Donaldson, Alexandra Saint Mleux, and Kika Gomes were seen together, making a notable impression as they walked through the bustling race venue.

While Donaldson and Saint Mleux regularly attend race weekends, Kika Gomes, Pierre Gasly‘s partner, is a less frequent presence in the paddock. Their shared appearance highlighted a diverse range of styles matching the energetic atmosphere of the event.

Distinctive Outfits Define Each Partner‘s Look at the Event

Gomes opted for a black-and-white ensemble, combining a mini skirt adorned with abstract swirls and a black sleeveless crewneck top, presenting a monochrome yet dynamic theme. Donaldson’s attire also featured a crewneck top paired with a skirt, but she introduced warmer maroon tones that contrasted with Gomes’s palette. Alexandra Saint Mleux chose a black sleeveless dress with vivid red floral accents, adding a bold splash of color that further distinguished her look.

The trio was captured in conversation as they moved through the paddock, revealing a relaxed camaraderie amid the competitive energy of the Grand Prix weekend.

Fashion Influence Behind Alexandra Saint Mleux’s Appealing Looks

Alexandra Saint Mleux has established herself as a fashion standout throughout the 2025 Formula 1 season, consistently drawing attention with her sophisticated style. At the Italian GP, her leopard-print outfit, featured on media day, was styled by fashion expert Le Bimbe, as the model shared on her Instagram story. This collaboration has helped elevate Saint Mleux’s presence in the paddock, blending high fashion with the fast-paced world of motorsport.

Saint Mleux is expected to continue turning heads during the remainder of the Italian GP as she supports her boyfriend Charles Leclerc, who aims to repeat his previous success at the Monza circuit.

Charles Leclerc’s Ambitions and Connection to Monza

Charles Leclerc, partnered with Alexandra Saint Mleux since 2023, regards Monza as a special venue where he has enjoyed significant achievements. Last year, he won the Italian GP wearing his Scuderia Ferrari overalls for the second time at this “temple of speed.”

Reflecting on his goals at the 2025 race, Leclerc shared his thoughts:

“I was reminded that my number is 16 and this year the Italian GP is the 16th race of the season – just like last year when I won, and also like in 2022 when I took pole. It would be nice to get both pole and the win again. Jokes aside, repeating last year’s victory will be almost impossible. We definitely can’t be considered the favourites, but Monza is Monza, and I’ll never stop trying. Winning on this track, in front of our tifosi, is so special that I can only have one goal this weekend – even if we know that McLaren, who were already a step ahead of us last year, are much stronger than us today.”

On the first day of race action, Leclerc posted competitive lap times during the practice sessions, finishing second in both free practice runs on Friday. After completing 53 laps, he and the Ferrari team are focused on refining the SF-25 car setup in free practice three, aiming to secure an ideal position for Saturday’s qualifying session.

Potential Milestones for Leclerc at Monza

If Charles Leclerc manages to secure pole position in Saturday’s qualifying, it will mark his third pole at the Monza circuit, highlighting his growing prowess on this historic track. This achievement would boost his prospects for the race and strengthen Ferrari’s challenge against rivals like McLaren, who remain formidable contenders this year.

The ongoing Italian GP weekend at Monza promises to be a defining moment for both the drivers and their partners, as fashion and racing passion intertwine amidst fierce competition and enthusiastic tifosi support.
