Love is in the air

When Formula 1 World Champion Charles Leclerc married his long-time love Alexandra Saint Mleux in what can only be described as the most romantic union of the season, the world watched with bated breath—and Alexandra did not disappoint. In a wedding that balanced grandeur with intimacy, spectacle with restraint, the bride emerged as a vision of considered, exquisite elegance; every detail a deliberate love letter, every choice a quiet declaration of her singular sense of style. From the couture lace that skimmed her silhouette to the diamonds that adorned her ears and neck, Alexandra Saint Mleux Leclerc composed her bridal look the way the very best dressed women always do—with intention, with feeling and with an unerring instinct for beauty that lingers long after the moment has passed. Here’s everything you need to know about her wedding look.

All you need to know about Alexandra Saint Mleux Leclerc’s wedding:

The Wedding Look

Looking ethereal and a vision, Alexandra wore a French Chantilly lace fishtail gown by Paolo Sebastian. The wedding dress was complemented by a scalloped neckline, delicately adorned with three-dimensional floral and butterfly embellishments—adding a feminine, soft allure. The dress was then finished with bespoke embroidery of Alexandra and Charles’ initials and their wedding date.

At her ear, a pair of Graff pear-shaped diamond climbers traced an elegant line upwards. The earrings featured a kaleidoscope of delicate diamond butterflies—each one catching the light as though mid-flight. For her neck, an intricate diamond necklace echoed the same winged motif, its brilliant stones cascading downwards in a breathtaking mimicry of butterfly wings caught in perpetual, glittering motion.

The Beauty Look

Soft, feminine and luminous, Alexandra opts for near-porcelain perfection with her beauty look. The cheeks carry the faintest flush, warm and sun-kissed, as though borrowed from a late-summer afternoon. The eyes were soft with no heavy liner and no drama. The lips remained a barely-there nude that kept the focus firmly on the extraordinary off-shoulder architecture of the gown and her glittering jewellery.

Crafted by Laurie Anne Ludwina Zanoletti, her hair was pulled back, strands swept seamlessly into a high, architectural chignon, lacquered smooth without a single hair daring to stray. Nestled delicately within the bun, scattered sprigs of baby’s breath offer the only softness, their tiny white blooms lending an almost ethereal bridal tenderness to an otherwise rigidly elegant silhouette. The effect is balletic. Austere, yet deeply romantic.
