Kim Kardashian, 45, appeared in Monaco on Friday amid the Grand Prix, wearing a black leather ensemble that closely echoed Victoria Beckham's iconic 1999 outfit. The reality star was there to support her boyfriend, Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton,41, with whom she has been romantically involved for nearly six months. The couple's relationship has intensified, with Kardashian reportedly making an 11,000-mile round trip just to spend 24 hours with Hamilton , according to a source cited by The Sun.

The 1999 Beckham homage that turned heads

Kardashian's all-leather look — a tiny black leather zip-up jacket and skintight pants — drew immediate comparisons to the matching leatther outfits Victoria and David Beckham wore in 1999 to the Bond Street Versace store opening.. The source article, as reported by multiple outlets, notes that Kardashian accessorized with a giant alligator skin Hermes Birkin bag, designer sunglasses, and black heels. This fashion reference is not the only visual parallel: Hamilton himself has recently sported a sheer pink sequin top and pale pink trousers, a style Kardashian famously wore at the 2023 Kering Caring for Women gala. The couple's coordinated fashion choices suggest a deliberate, mutually reinforcing public image.

An 11,000-mile round trip for 24 hours together

According to The Sun, Kardashian flew from Los Angeles to London on her private jet, landing in Farnborough, Hampshire, before being driven to Hamilton's £18 million home in Kensington. The trip was a whirlwind: a source told The Sun that the pair are 'determined to do everything to see each other when they have any spare time.' This transatlantic effort underscores the logistical challenges of sustaining a high-profile relationship between a California-based media mogul and a globe-trotting F1 driver, whose race calendar spans five continents.

The first meeting with Kanye West's children

Just last week, the couple took a significant step forward: Hamilton was seen with Kardashian's four children — North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm — for the first time.. The children, whom Kardashian shares with ex-husband Kanye West, have been a central consideration in her past relationships. A source previously told The Sun that Kardashian's family 'adores' Hamilton, according to the report. this public integration marks a departure from Kardashian's usual guardedness around her children's exposure to new partners.

From Super Bowl to Instagram official: a six-month timeline

Kardashian and Hamilton, friends for over a deade, were first spotted getting cozy on New Year's Eve in Aspen. They went public at the Super Bowl in February and subsequently confirmed the relationship on Instagram. Earlier this week, Kardashian posted a selfie Hamilton took during a bike ride, along with a cheeky bikini shot. According to the source,their relationship is 'intense,' and Kardashian's family is fully supportive. The pace suggests a serious commitment, though both parties remain intensely private about the details.

What remains unclear is how Hamilton's own family and inner circle view the relationship, as no sources close to the driver have commented publicly. Additionally, the long-term viability of a cross-continental romance with two demanding careers — Kardashian's multiple business ventures and Hamilton's F1 schedule — has yet to be tested. The source's claims about family approval have not been independently verified.
