In the post, the beaming couple cuddles up against a sun-drenched backdrop, Leclerc’s arm wrapped protectively around Saint Mleux as she flashes her stunning new oval diamond ring. But the real showstopper? Leo’s custom collar, emblazoned with the cheeky message: “Dad wants to marry you.” It’s the kind of whimsical touch that turns a proposal into pure poetry.
“Mr². & Mrs. Leclerc,” Leclerc captioned the photos, punctuating the joy with a sparkling ring emoji and a cascade of red hearts—his playful nod to their shared last name, squared for the ultimate power couple.
The outpouring of love was instantaneous. F1 rival-turned-teammate Lewis Hamilton led the charge: “Congratulations to you both.”
Fashion insider Sofia Ricci Grainge gushed, “I’m way too excited.”
And Parisian luxury house Jacquemus chimed in with a bilingual cheer: “trop heureux pour vous” (“so happy for you”).
Fans, meanwhile, zeroed in on Saint Mleux’s effortless elegance, with one declaring, “YESSSSSSS CONGRATULATIONS!!! By the way, Alex looked so chic in her dress,” and another simply sighing, “I mean the dress!”
That gown? A bespoke masterpiece from Phème Paris, the high-end atelier known for its romantic edge. The pale blue silk slip dress hugged her frame with a sultry halterneck silhouette, accented by delicate white lace trim that whispered old-world glamour.
She layered on sparkle with diamond Chanel stud earrings—logo-forward and priced around $1,050—and the iconic Cartier Juste un Clou nail bracelet, a edgy staple clocking in at $4,180. The result: bridal chic with a modern twist, proving Saint Mleux isn’t just arm candy—she’s a style force.
At 23, the Paris-based model and fashion influencer is a rising star in her own right, blending runway poise with social media savvy. Leclerc, 28, first sparked romance rumors with her in March 2023, when paparazzi caught them cozy at Paris Fashion Week. By summer, the whispers turned official: In a candid chat with Gala France, the Monegasque driver coyly confirmed he was “in a relationship,” though he kept her name under wraps.
As Leclerc guns for glory on the circuit, this engagement marks a personal victory lap. With fans already buzzing about a wedding that could rival Monaco’s finest, one thing’s clear: The Leclerc legacy just got a lot more fabulous.
