F1 driver's girlfriend steals the show in stunning old-Hollywood gown with sheer detailing
The world of Formula 1 is no stranger to glitz and glamour. When they're away from the track, the sports stars are often found suited and booted at high-profile events across the globe. That was certainly the case for Ferrari Formula 1 driver Charles Leclerc, who attended Le Gala de la Croix Rouge, known as the Monaco Red Cross Gala, hosted by the Monegasque royal family on Saturday. But it was his girlfriend, Alexandra Saint Mleux, who really turned heads that evening. The 23-year-old art-history graduate paid homage to one of Hollywood's most famous starlets - and one with a fitting Monegasque connection. Alexandra looked stunning in a floaty, two-toned blue gown inspired by Grace Kelly in the 1955 blockbuster To Catch a Thief. She complemented the showstopping dress with minimal jewellery, fresh, glowy makeup and a sleek updo. Alexandra worked with French fashion designer Antione Guerin to create the custom gown. "Thank you @ for bringing my idea to life in your own beautiful way," she wrote on her Instagram. Antoine's Instagram shows the designer painstakingly creating the details of the gown, crafting the wrapped design of the bodice by hand and forming an intricate rosette. Alexandra's friends flocked to the comments section to express their admiration. Rebecca Donaldson, who, aside from being a Scottish model and girlfriend of Williams Formula 1 driver Carlos Sainz Jr., is a close friend of Alexandra's, called the dress "dreamy", while George Russell's girlfriend Carmen Montero Mundt wrote: "So stunning!!!!!". Her fans also adored the outfit, with many calling Alexandra a "princess", which tied in perfectly with Alexandra's inspiration, Grace Kelly. Already a Hollywood queen for her starring roles in films like The Country Girl and Rear Window, American actress Grace Kelly became real royalty when she married Prince Rainier III of Monaco in 1956. She was known for her elegance and glamour, as well as her support her emerging performance artists through the Princess Grace Foundation. Alexandra and Charles began dating in 2023, and she has since developed a reputation for her beauty. She is a regular guest at fashion shows and brand events, and is an ambassador for Hailey Bieber's beauty brand, Rhode. Alexandra is often spotted at race weekends supporting her racing star boyfriend, and fans are always on the lookout for her next paddock showstopper.

Lewis Hamilton banned from Charles Leclerc 'friendship' as rumours shut down
Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc have forged a relationship as team-mates at Ferrari, but it doesn't look likely they'll be considered "best friends" anytime soon The arrival of a seven-time world champion to any Formula 1 team is bound to stir the pot. And that's exactly what's happened at Ferrari since Lewis Hamilton joined forces with Charles Leclerc. However, team principal Frederic Vasseur isn't too fussed about his drivers becoming fast friends, either. In fact, it appears the Frenchman would prefer to see a bit of venom between his two drivers. And the time may be coming where the relationship between Hamilton and Leclerc is tested amid suggestions Ferrari will model their 2026 car around the former. Not that Ferrari's chief will be losing any sleep over the prospect of more tensions. "They are getting along very well, super focused and motivated, with great mutual understanding," Vasseur previously shared with Belgian outlet RTBF (via the Daily Express). "But there has to be competition. "I don't want them to be best friends. Nor enemies, but above all, they must be rivals. It must stay that way; they should always push to outperform each other and be driven by that. In any case, their mindset is healthy and positive." Leclerc has been the face of Ferrari since 2020 but might find himself in a bit of a tussle amid suggestions Hamilton, 40, will soon take more precedence. It's the sort of move that could ruffle feathers, but Vasseur, who is the subject of rumours about his own future at Ferrari, seems quite content with some edge between comrades. Seven-time world champion Hamilton has shown nothing but warmth and respect towards his team-mate since joining Ferrari. The British driver has been full of praise for Leclerc's quality and work ethic, airing his admiration of the Monegasque early on. "Charles is massively talented," said Hamilton said during testing at the Bahrain International Circuit earlier this year. "Getting to see him work opposite the table and watching him in the garage, it's been really, really great. "Obviously he's been here for a long time, so he knows the team well, he speaks Italian, he's at home and at ease. But because we already had a friendship before, that's made it a lot easier to just get straight into working together." Hamilton described Leclerc as "incredibly talented" and expressed his eagerness to learn from his younger team-mate. However, their camaraderie could be tested if Leclerc feels somewhat sidelined at Maranello. Former F1 star Jacques Villeneuve suggested Hamilton's sprint win at the Chinese Grand Prix earlier this season might have sparked jealousy in Leclerc. This could escalate if Hamilton becomes the lead driver for their 2026 car, although Leclerc has so far responded maturely to the situation. Brushing off concerns about development roles, the driver made his priorities clear at Silverstone earlier in July. And that remains the good of the team over any individual glory. "I don't think that's the problem, and I just want the fastest car possible next year," said Leclerc when quizzed about Hamilton potentially taking the lead on the new build. "That's exactly what Lewis wants, and then wherever we are next year, I'll set up the car in a way that I like, and Lewis will do just the same."

Princess Eugenia of Hanover, 23, details ‘bad sides' of her royal title, says it caused problems at school
Princess Eugenia of Hanover has opened up about her royal title, saying it caused her many problems at school. The German royal, 23, said the title 'means nothing' to her as she detailed the struggles she faced as a result of her high-status. Eugenia, who lives in Vienna, Austria, is the daughter of Prince Heinrich of Hanover, 64, who is the brother of Prince Ernst, the current head of the House of Hanover. Her mother is Princess Thyra von Westernhagern, 51. 4 Princess Eugenia of Hanover has opened up about her royal title, saying it caused her many problems at school. @eugeniaha/Instagram The family boasts close ties to the Monegasque royals as Prince Ernst is married to Princess Caroline of Monaco. But Eugenia claims her royal status has so far proved to be more of an obstacle than an advantage. 'In school, I had some teachers that just didn't like me because of it, and they also said some comments which were not very nice or reasonable,' the aristocrat told Tatler. 'It also has bad sides, having this name… I am interested in the history of my family, but it doesn't mean anything in general for living my day-to-day life.' 'In Germany, it is just a name and it actually doesn't mean anything anymore. For me, it doesn't mean anything because I don't see myself as something different to others,' she added. 4 The German aristocrat, 23, said her royal title 'means nothing' to her as she detailed the struggles she faced as a result of her high-status. @eugeniaha/Instagram 4 Eugenia is the daughter of Prince Heinrich of Hanover, 64, and Princess Thyra von Westernhagern, 51. Getty Images Eugenia added that she didn't 'really care about school' — and was instead interested in tending to her horses. Still, the royal pressed on with her education and enrolled at a prestigious institution in Vienna to study medicine. Her grandfather, Prince Ernest Augustus of Hanover, had trod a similar path by becoming an Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) professor. In addition to her studies, the royal has kickstarted a modeling career — much to her parents' dismay. Eugenia admitted that while her parents were 'apprehensive' over her interests in modeling, they soon came around after her 'scared' mom accompanied her to photoshoots. 4 In addition to her studies, the royal has kickstarted a modeling career. @eugeniaha/Instagram 'Right now I'm very happy about my life. It's very stable,' she told the outlet. 'I think if I only did fashion, then that could mess it up.' 'I only have two more years to be a general doctor, there's no point leaving now. It wouldn't be worth it,' she added.

Charles Leclerc Frustrated After Qualifying in Silverstone: 'I Can Only Blame Myself'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc finished behind his teammate Lewis Hamilton in qualifying for the British Grand Prix. Leclerc qualified in sixth - one spot lower than Hamilton, who finished in fifth. Both Leclerc and Hamilton showed impressive pace throughout the weekend but failed to put together a clean lap in Q3. Hamilton ended up closest to pole and appeared on track to secure the top spot until he lost time during sector three.

Photo byAfter the session, Leclerc shared his disappointment with the end result - feeling like he left some speed on the board. "I haven't been good enough, and unfortunately it has been more qualifying than not that I find myself here saying that it could have been, it should have been," Leclerc told reporters after the session. "But at the end of the day, if I don't do the job inside the car and I don't put all my corners, my best corners together, then I ended up P6 instead of being on the front row. "So I can only blame myself; I'm very disappointed because quality used to be one of my strengths. "I feel like, generally, since quite a bit now I'm performing very well in races, but in qualifying, I'm missing something." While Leclerc didn't maximize the result, the Ferrari SF25 showed some impressive pace that is capable of fighting for a race win. Since Leclerc does well in terms of race pace, he should fare well on Sunday and while he is starting on the back foot for a win, a podium could be on the cards. Hamilton, on the other hand, could still win the race from P5, though it will be a massive challenge. Regardless of the result, Ferrari's floor upgrade is delivering the team a boost in performance and bodes well for its hopes in the second half of the season.
