In Miami, May 1Add Alexandra Leclerc to the list of WAGs whose influence extends far beyond the sports world. Born Alexandra Saint Mleux, the wife of Formula 1 driver Charles Leclerc has employed a canny combination of social media and fashion to become an influencer and rising style icon in her own right.
Before she was in the F1 spotlight, Leclerc was involved in the art world. She studied art history at L’École du Louvre in Paris, where she specialized in 20th century art, and worked as an art assistant at Hôtel Des Ventes De Monte-Carlo auction house. She was first linked to Charles in early 2023, where she was seen at Grand Prix events as an official guest of Ferrari, Leclerc’s team; the pair also attended Wimbledon together that year. The two married in February 2026 during a civil ceremony in Monaco, where she wore a custom Paolo Sebastian fishtail gown.
Naturally, there’s been a lot of fascination around Alexandra. As recently as June 2024, her private Instagram had under 1,000 followers—but as of this writing, she’s coming up on 5 million. But for all the attention on her marriage, it seems even more is focused on her incredible cool-girl style. She’s graced the covers of international editions of Harper’s Bazaar and Elle and partnered with brands like Alo and Rhode. She has an art gallery, a charitable foundation…and a collection with Frame. Personally, I saw her long before I knew who she was thanks to this gorgeous portrait from her wedding, which comes across my Explore Page regularly because of her adorable dog. In a way, she feels like a delightful throwback to the pre-pandemic influencer age: She never aimed to become a content creator; she just naturally became popular because she always looks amazing and goes to cool places.
As such, Alexandra Leclerc has become the next fashion It Girl to watch. And her spring and summer 2026 ‘fits are a masterclass in how to look effortlessly chic. If you need inspiration for your own style mood board, look no further than the below…

In Monaco, Alexandra gave us the perfect outfit inspiration for an evening look. A silky set with delicate details—fringe, lace, maybe even both—looks so polished and cool in the summer months. Even if you don’t have a matching set in your closet, a slinky dress will have the same effect. Just follow Alexandra’s lead and pair it with a sleek ponytail and mauve lipstick.
