Formula One girlies, NASCAR fans, lovers of every and any motorsport community…this one’s for you. Motorsport has left an indelible mark in the fashion sphere for ages past and continues to permeate high fashion runways and celebrity street style to this day. 

The most successful and longest-standing Formula One team, Scuderia Ferrari, have led the race from the track to the runway to flaunt their automobile looks for the past two years. In the Italian automanufacturer’s 2022 Ready to Wear collection, heavy motorsport references were made, such as the usage of the team’s signature Ferrari red and Modena yellow. Racer sunglasses also sped down the runway alongside seat-belts and racing gloves.

The Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 team have been loyal brand partners with Tommy Hilfiger since 2018, when the fashion brand dedicated a whole collection to the sport. 7-time World Champion Sir Lewis Hamilton took to the front seat, getting an unobstructed view of the catwalk-turned race track, complete with pit stops. Chequers also dominated the collection as an ode to the iconic chequered flag.

A diehard fan of the motorsport aesthetic is streetstyle legend, Hailey Bieber. Come winter or summer, you can guarantee that she will step out in a racing jacket, oftentimes colour-coordinating her looks. It-girls like Dua Lipa, Elsa Hosk, Amelia Gray and Cindy Bruna have also been spotted in Miu Miu Sienna biker boots, a wardrobe staple for any fashionable motorhead.
