It seems the Kardashian women really do adapt their style depending on who they’re dating. After Kourtney’s famous punk-rock girlfriend makeover, Kim appears to be taking cues from her rumored boyfriend, F1 star Lewis Hamilton.
The Skims mogul, reportedly dating the racing icon, showcased an F1-inspired girlfriend aesthetic in her recent Japan vacation Instagram dump—though it’s far from the classic “old money” look fans might expect. Instead, she leaned into bold, sporty pieces while keeping her signature edge.

Kim Kardashian Flaunts Her Racing Style
On the trip with her kids—Saint, 10; Chicago, 8; and Psalm, 6—plus Lewis, the All’s Fair actress wore a white printed racing-inspired bodysuit. The turtleneck piece was paired with perspex heels and a jacket, while her sleek ponytail ensured the outfit stayed front and center. She later swapped into a red zip-up sweater reminiscent of an F1 jacket, paired with red leggings, and even shared photos of herself hitting the go-kart track, fully embracing the racing girlfriend vibe.
Fans on Reddit took notice, with one commenting, “Let’s prepare for Kim’s racing fashion era.” Others speculated it might have been Lewis’ idea to go racing, saying, “Kim and the kids go karting. I wonder who inspired that idea.” Another added, “Maybe he can get her to stop wearing all those fur coats!”
The trip also included Khloé Kardashian and her kids, with Khloé opting for a much more casual style compared to her older sister.
While the pair have been enjoying their time in Japan, it appears his mother isn’t exactly thrilled about the relationship.

Lewis Hamilton's Mom 'Fiercely Protective' Of Her Son Amid Kim Kardashian Romance
“Carmen is fiercely protective of Lewis, and from her perspective, the Kardashian lifestyle doesn’t really align with her son’s personality for the long term,” a source revealed to Star magazine. “She believes he’d be better suited with someone more low-key and private.”
Two weeks before their Japan getaway, the 41-year-old reportedly took his mom to China. But Kim isn’t fazed. “She says this is just how things go until people get to know the real her,” the source adds. “That said, Carmen isn’t shy about sharing her opinion.”
The 45-year-old and Hamilton evolved from a decade-long friendship into a romantic relationship in early 2026, reportedly beginning around New Year’s and officially going public during Super Bowl LX weekend in February.
Although they haven’t appeared on the red carpet together or shared each other on social media yet, it seems they could be headed that way if the relationship continues to grow.
