Rising Designer Wales Bonner and Lewis Hamilton Team Up for the Met Gala. And The Result Is Spectacular
For the 2025 Met Gala, rising fashion designer Grace Wales Bonner dressed Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton. And the fashion world is obsessed.
Lewis Hamilton is known for his authentic fashion style. And it’s fair to say that teaming up with 
Grace Wales Bonner for the fashion’s biggest night out was a well thought out decision.
The look was an ivory-colored, almost white-tie design. The designer decided for this style to represent purity and status.
It included shell beaded and pearl detailing, which were hand-sewn onto the sleeves of the coat and paid tribute to the history of Black mens’ fashion, accordingly to this year’s Met Gala theme.
