An Australian fashion designer has played a pivotal role in the wedding of Ferrari Formula One driver Charles Leclerc, creating the exquisite gown worn by his bride, Alexandra Saint-Mleux. The couple exchanged vows in a private ceremony in the iconic city of Monte Carlo last weekend, surrounded by a small gathering of close family and friends.
The Show-Stopping Creation
The wedding experience was significantly elevated by the involvement of Australian designer Paolo Sebastian, who meticulously crafted Alexandra's lavish wedding dress. The popular F1 partner wore a stunning French Chantilly lace fishtail gown, featuring an elegant scalloped neckline. The garment was adorned with intricate 3D floral and butterfly embellishments, adding a layer of detailed artistry.
The 23-year-old's breathtaking outfit was further personalized with bespoke embroidered initials, making it one of the most discussed elements of the couple's first wedding ceremony. In a social media post shared by the fashion designer, which included beautiful images from the special day, Alexandra expressed her absolute delight with the creation, simply commenting, 'My dream dress.'
A Stylish Yet Intimate Affair
While the ceremony remained relatively low-key in terms of public fanfare and media attention, it was executed with impeccable style. Following the vows, Leclerc and his new wife were photographed departing in a vintage Ferrari, valued at approximately $17 million, along a picturesque Monaco road. Their exit was accompanied by a convoy of three motorbikes and a black Mercedes, a scene that quickly circulated on social media platforms.
Neither Leclerc nor Saint-Mleux immediately confirmed the wedding news on their personal social media channels. However, the Ferrari star has since revealed that the marriage took place on Saturday, just days before the commencement of the new Formula One season.
From Courtship to Marriage
Leclerc and Saint-Mleux have been in a relationship since early 2023, first spotted together at Paris Fashion Week in March of that year. The couple officially confirmed their romance after appearing as guests at the Wimbledon tennis championships. Leclerc announced his engagement to his partner last November, leading to a swift and beautiful wedding celebration.
Focus Shifts to the Racing Season
This joyous personal milestone comes as the eight-time F1 race winner prepares to redirect his focus to the competitive demands of the motorsport season. Leclerc is set to compete in this weekend's season opener at the Australian Grand Prix. Alongside veteran teammate Lewis Hamilton, he aims to secure a world driver's championship trophy for Ferrari's Maranello headquarters, a feat not achieved since 2008.
The 28-year-old Monegasque driver previously won the Australian Grand Prix in 2022, marking a strong start for the Prancing Horse team before ultimately losing the development battle and world title to rivals Red Bull. As Leclerc embarks on this new marital chapter, his professional aspirations remain firmly on the podium, blending personal triumph with sporting ambition.
