Kimi Antonelli’s Off-Duty Looks Are Worth A Victory Lap

Kimi Antonelli has officially gone from Formula 1’s next big thing to its youngest-ever World Champion, and at just 20, the Italian has plenty to celebrate. The Mercedes driver sealed the 2026 Drivers’ Championship at the Mexico City Grand Prix, adding a history-making title to a career that’s only just getting started. But while his race-day wardrobe comes with team logos and fireproof layers, it’s his off-duty style that gives us a different kind of paddock intel. Away from the cockpit, there’s room to trade lap times for laid-back fits, and race suits for everyday staples with personality. With the championship trophy now in hand, we’re taking a closer look at Kimi Antonelli’s off-duty looks, one outfit at a time.

Gucci, Denim And A Choker

Antonelli chose denim at Milan Fashion Week. Black jeans and a basic black t-shirt with a washed-grey Gucci monogram jacket. Layered necklaces and a silver buckle belt give the otherwise simple ensemble a hint of rock ‘n’ roll attitude. The jacket does the heavy lifting, while the styling remains simple. Think of it as a lesson in putting a bit more effort into regular denim. And we see the choker.

The Case For Tonal Dressing

White-on-white can go terribly wrong, but this look gets the balance right. The relaxed overshirt and trousers are offset by an almost-sheer vest, while a brown belt breaks up the palette and layered silver necklaces bring a little extra personality. It’s giving summer in the Mediterranean, with just enough styling to suggest the outfit wasn’t entirely an afterthought.

A Little Paddock Grunge

The paddock is practically its own dress code, and this look leans right into it. A sponsor-covered Mercedes jacket, black hoodie and loose cargos make up the base, with wired earphones, sunglasses hooked onto the front and the commitment to the black choker remains unmatched.

A Moment For These Sunglasses

It’s all about not taking yourself too seriously. As if the Adidas camouflage tee wasn’t already making a statement, there are beaded bracelets, the choker, and of course, chunky sunglasses. It’s a little playful, a little streetwear, and we’re here for it.

The Art Of Dressing Down

It’s the sort of look that makes a case for taking tailoring a little less seriously. The grey collarless jacket and matching trousers bring the polish, but a white tee and taupe Adidas Sambas keep things from feeling too buttoned-up. Tinted glasses add a retro touch, while the chunky green-dial watch brings a welcomed hint of colour. Who said a suit always needs a dress shoe and a serious attitude?

It’s Giving Skater Boy?

The burgundy tee and off-white cargos are classic paddock fare, Antonelli really likes his tinted glasses and black choker. Add the printed pocket and stacked bracelets, and you have a casual fit with some Y2K skater energy. The vibe? He had five minutes to get dressed and still got the memo.

Satin After Dark

The satin bomber, the washed-grey jeans, the glossy loafers. It’s giving off-duty Gucci boy, with the jacket doing just enough to take a basic jeans-and-top combination out for dinner. The fit is relaxed, and honestly, if you’re going to wear jeans to a fashion dinner, this is a pretty good way to do it.

Sage Advice On Dressing

For the final look, we’re ending on a sage-green co-ord, because apparently even his tailoring has range. A ribbed white vest keeps things casual, while the tinted glasses and layered necklaces make their obligatory appearance. At this point, the choker-and-tinted-glasses combo deserves its own paddock pass.

The championship may be won on the F1 track, but the off-duty wardrobe? Definitely making its own podium.
