Hamilton on the red carpet as he co-chairs the 2025 Met Gala in New York

It's been quite the turnaround for Lewis Hamilton while in the USA. This weekend, he was in Florida for the Miami Grand Prix. Then, just a day after Sunday's Grand Prix, he flew all the way to New York for the 2025 Met Gala.

In October 2024, it was announced that the seven-time world champion was to be a co-chair for the 2025 edition of the world-famous fashion event, looking to celebrate Black style from the 18th century to the present day.

Then, just a month before the event, he was on the front page of Vogue magazine and their iconic Met Issue, along with actor Colman Domingo, rapper A$AP Rocky and singer Pharrell Williams.
