Published 10 hours ago3 minute read

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.

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 @antoine.guerin_ 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.

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.
