Ferrari racer Charles Leclerc may have been his loudest critic after qualifying sixth for the British Grand Prix Saturday but his partner Alexandra Saint Mleux’s trip to the paddock that day was considered a win for PrettyLittleThing.
The raven-haired influencer turned out for Saturday’s qualifiers wearing an all-white ensemble from the British label. The choice was a gift from PrettyLittleThing, which did not pay her for the appearance, according to a spokesman for the company. The Gen Zer is not a brand ambassador for the brand either. The white woven waistcoat with buttons and coordinating pleated midi skirt retail for 20 and 28 pounds, respectively.
Neither Leclerc nor his Ferrari teammate Lewis Hamilton reached the podium last weekend at Silverstone Circuit. That ended Hamilton’s streak of stepping up at the podium at 11 consecutive British Grand Prix. After failing to qualify, the Monaco-born Leclerc sounded off with a string of obscenities about his lackluster performance during a radio interview.
But during the qualifiers, Saint Mleux was all smiles when she breezed through the Silverstone paddock with Leo, the dog that she shares with Leclerc.

Her stylishness has also resulted in a collaboration for a resort collection with 12-year-old label Meshki that was started by two architectural students and now has distribution in 190-plus countries. Last year Saint Mleux linked up with Rhode beauty through Instagram posts for the Hailey Bieber-started company.
