Months after their intimate civil wedding in Monaco, Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc and his wife, influencer Alexandra Saint Mleux (now Leclerc), made a glamorous first public appearance as newlyweds at the 79th Cannes Film Festival.

The couple turned heads on the red carpet for the premiere of "La Vie D’Une Femme" on Wednesday, May 13, radiating elegance and newlywed bliss amid the French Riviera’s iconic glamour

The couple turned heads on the red carpet for the premiere of La Vie D’Une Femme, radiating elegance and newlywed bliss amid the French Riviera’s iconic glamour.

Alexandra stunned in a sparkling strapless gown featuring intricate beading and sequins over a sheer mesh-like base.

The form-fitting design showcases scalloped, tiered patterns that create a shimmering, scale-like effect in champagne and silver tones, accentuating her figure with a sweetheart neckline and structured bodice. She paired the look with a dazzling diamond necklace, matching earrings, and sleek, pulled-back hair, exuding red-carpet sophistication.

Charles complements her perfectly in a classic black tuxedo with satin lapels, a crisp white dress shirt, and a black bow tie.

He accessorized with a subtle leafy or branch-shaped brooch on his lapel and carried sunglasses, adding a touch of personal flair to the timeless formal ensemble. His curly hair and warm smile completed the debonair groom vibe.

While specific designer confirmations for this exact appearance are still emerging, past Cannes looks for Alexandra have included Georges Hobeika. Charles also attended the event on Wednesday as a L’Oréal ambassador, blending F1 prestige with high fashion.

The sighting comes months after their February 2026 wedding, where Alexandra wore a custom Paolo Sebastian lace gown and Charles a Brunello Cucinelli suit, keeping the celebratory spirit alive on the Croisette.

Charles and Alexandra began dating in 2023 after meeting through mutual circles.

Their relationship quickly became a favourite among F1 fans for its low-key elegance and genuine affection. The couple announced their engagement in November 2025 and married in an intimate civil ceremony in Monaco.

Their latest sighting comes after the couple took delivery of their new £15m superyacht.

As the 2026 F1 season progresses, Leclerc currently sits third in the Drivers’ Championship with 59 points after the opening rounds, trailing leader Kimi Antonelli.

He has delivered consistent performances, including strong starts (leading the field in positions gained on lap 1) and podium contention, with results such as a P3 in Japan and solid points hauls in Australia, China, and Miami.

While yet to secure a win this season, his form signals Ferrari’s competitiveness as the campaign builds toward the European leg. Leclerc returns to action for Ferrari at the Canadian Grand Prix weekend slated for May 22nd - 24th.
