Lewis Hamilton is Willy Chavarria's biggest fan

Willy Chavarria is the brand everyone’s talking about. The New York-based designer was named the CFDA's American Menswear Designer of the Year back-to-back in 2023 and 2024. He captivated the sartorial world with his attention-grabbing shows at New York Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week. He celebrates his Chicano heritage with graphic tees, long shorts and zoot suits.

Everyone is clamoring for a piece of Chavarria's authenticity right now, but Lewis Hamilton is a steady supporter. Hamilton has made a name for himself not only for being the winningest driver in F1 history, but for his bold fashion sense. Often with the help of stylist Eric McNeal, Hamilton has donned designer, supported streetwear stars, and even started his own brand, +44, to express himself through his clothes.

And of course, Willy Chavarria has been in the mix. As the lone Black driver in F1, Hamilton is intentional about uplifting fellow minorities. Here's a look at the times Lewis Hamilton wore Willy Chavarria as the designer rose to international acclaim:

This one might be our favorite. Lewis Hamilton wore a bright green, red and white Willy Chavarria track suit for the 2024 Mexico Grand Prix. It just made perfect sense for the British driver to rep El Tri here since the designer is so passionate about sharing his Mexican heritage with the world.

The first time Lewis Hamilton really repped Willy Chavarria was at the 2024 Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

The Met Gala co-chair put his personal spin on the look, wearing the jacket slightly unzipped without a T-shirt underneath to show off his tattoos and one of his signature accessories, a pearl necklace.

Lewis Hamilton is intentional in every outfit he wears. He's toned down the high fashion looks since joining Ferrari, and we do miss them, but it is fun to see his excitement at repping the Scuderia. For his first race with Ferrari at the 2025 Australian Grand Prix, he flexed his style sense again by wearing his new team's fiery red color via another Willy Chavarria Bad Boy track jacket and work pants.

The jacket said "Freedom Belongs To All" on the back, proof that Hamilton is still using his platform to spread a positive message.
