Formula 1 continues to extend its influence far beyond the racetrack, with Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc once again being highlighted as global style and cultural figures during a recent Hollywood conversation about a possible “Devil wears Prada” sequel.
During a promotional discussion, actresses Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt were asked which personalities they would like to see as guest stars in a hypothetical “Devil wears Prada 2”, and both Formula 1 and Ferrari featured prominently in their answers.
Anne Hathaway immediately pointed to Lewis Hamilton, Ferrari’s seven-time world champion, referencing both his fashion influence and his high-profile role as host of the Met Gala.
“I would hope for Lewis Hamilton, who hosted the Met Gala,” Anne Hathaway said, highlighting the British driver’s strong connection to the fashion world and his presence at major cultural events beyond motorsport.
Emily Blunt reinforced the idea, underlining Lewis Hamilton’s reputation for style and personality away from racing.
“He’s very fashionable, he’s got the swagger,” Emily Blunt added, emphasising how the Ferrari driver has become one of the most recognisable sporting figures in global fashion circles.
The conversation then shifted to Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc, who has also built a strong public image off track, particularly through his growing presence in fashion campaigns and lifestyle branding.
Anne Hathaway admitted her personal connection to Ferrari played a role in her choice, also naming the Monegasque driver as a standout figure she would like to see on screen.
“And I’m a big Ferrari fan, so Charles Leclerc,” she said, linking her admiration for the team with the Ferrari driver’s rising cultural profile.
Emily Blunt reacted positively to the mention of Charles Leclerc as well, adding a lighter remark about the driver’s appeal.
“Yeah, he’s so cute,” Blunt commented, reinforcing the growing popularity of the Ferrari star outside of Formula 1.
The discussion once again underlines how modern F1 drivers, particularly high-profile names like Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc, have evolved into mainstream cultural figures whose influence extends into fashion, entertainment, and global media.
For the Briton, the recognition reflects a long-standing crossover between motorsport and fashion, a space where he has become one of the most visible athletes in the world. For the Monegasque, it signals his continued rise as not only a key Ferrari driver but also a personality increasingly present in lifestyle and branding conversations.
As Formula 1’s global reach continues to expand, moments like this highlight how drivers are no longer defined solely by performance on track, but also by their presence in wider cultural industries where style, image, and personality carry growing importance.
