Pierre Gasly is used to doing his talking on the track. But it seems as though the 28-year-old Alpine ace is trying to send a message about his extra-curricular activities, too.
Over the past few years, the Frenchman has made surprise appearances at several fashion shows, spending his limited downtime rubbing shoulders with designers in Europe’s fashion capitals. Most recently, Gasly stepped out at Christian Louboutin’s Paris Fashion Week show — a campy extravaganza that featured the Olympic host city’s artistic swimming team modeling the brand’s iconic red-bottoms under water.
The driver attended with his model girlfriend, 21-year-old Kika Cerqueira Gomes, who stunned in an all-black ensemble with Tiffany & Co jewels and slingback kitten heels. However, it was Gasly’s bold ‘fit, featuring a sleeveless black top and a silver chain necklace, that really turned fans’ heads.
Cole Sprouse, Tom Daly and Halle Bailey were also among the A-list attendees at the show, which ended in a splash when the famed designer launched himself into the pool fully clothed.

Since joining the French outfit, however, it’s clear he’s been experimenting with a range of different silhouettes and styles — from oversized knitwear to monogrammed short sets — as he tip-toes his way into the fashion world.
Not only has he showcased his sense of style at chic events like the Cannes Film Festival and Roland-Garros, but Gasly has also leaned into his personal brand with a merch collection based entirely on an inside joke with his fans, and candid social media snaps that help lift the curtain on his glamorous life.
