Formula 1 isn’t just about roaring engines and podium finishes — it’s also a global runway where celebrities, WAGs, and fashion editors bring their A-game trackside. From the sparkling streets of Monte Carlo to the sun-drenched circuits of Miami, the paddocks and grandstands are packed with outfits that scream understated wealth, effortless cool, and strategic glam. Whether you're attending your first race or planning your next GP stop, knowing what to wear can be the difference between blending in and standing out — in the chicest way possible.
As the sport continues to boom, thanks in part to “Drive to Survive” and its ever-growing fandom, F1 style has become its own event. The best looks balance luxury and comfort with a nod to the high-octane atmosphere. Think off-duty model energy meets billionaire yacht guest. In this story, we’ve rounded up the most stylish and rich-looking outfits spotted across the Grand Prix circuit — plus, tips on how to dress the part, no matter your ticket tier.
Grandstand and General Admission
When you're spending a full day trackside — often in the heat — comfort is key, but that doesn't mean sacrificing style. Think of the elevated essentials: linen trousers, lightweight button-downs, chic crossbody bags, and fashion sneakers that can survive the walk from shuttle to seat. Bucket hats, polarized sunglasses, and breezy fabrics will help you look polished while staying cool. If you’re going casual, go intentional casual — clean silhouettes, tonal colors, and one statement piece (like a designer cap or belt) go a long way.

Paddock Club
Welcome to fashion's most exclusive pit stop. The paddock is less about logos and more about quiet luxury — polished separates, sculptural sunglasses, designer accessories, and pieces that whisper money. Many opt for sleek heels or dressy flats, midi dresses, or tailored trousers with silk tanks. A vintage Hermès bag or a low-key Loewe moment will get noticed for the right reasons. Bonus points for incorporating a motorsport nod: racing stripes, leather accents, or retro eyewear.
What to wear: red slinky mini dress or seperates, clutch, and sunglasses.
What to wear: silk halter top and black wide-leg pants.

Marina and Yacht Club
This is your excuse to go full rich on vacation. Flowy dresses, resort tailoring, straw accessories, and high-end sandals feel right at home here. You want to look like you just stepped off a chartered jet and are about to sip rosé on the sundeck. Think The Row meets Pucci — relaxed silhouettes in luxe fabrics, perhaps a silk scarf in the hair or oversized gold jewelry. Leave anything too structured at home and lean into a vibe that says “I summer in Sardinia.”
What to wear: Silk top, scarf, and black capris
What to wear: shirred mini dress and square sunglasses.
