Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton spark romance buzz at gala

Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton turned heads with their affectionate appearance at the opening night gala for the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angeles.

The reality star and Formula 1 champion attended the invitation-only event on Saturday, September 19. The gala was hosted by museum founders George Lucas and Mellody Hobson.

Kardashian, 45, made a glamorous appearance in a black and gold sequined gown from Saint Laurent’s 2004 fall/winter collection. The Tom Ford design featured a figure-hugging silhouette and was paired with striking gold heels.

The SKIMS founder completed her look with a sleek bun, Oscar Heyman earrings and a Zydo ring. Her outfit was styled by Law Roach, who has worked with several major Hollywood stars.

Hamilton, 41, complemented Kardashian’s look in a black Saint Laurent suit designed by Anthony Vaccarello. The pair appeared coordinated despite choosing different styles for the evening.

Although they did not walk the red carpet together, Kardashian and Hamilton were seen being affectionate inside the event. They held hands and shared a kiss before posing together.

The couple were later joined by Kardashian’s mother, Kris Jenner, during the event.

Their latest public appearance came shortly after the pair were spotted together in London. During Kardashian’s visit to the city for the opening of her SKIMS store on Regent Street, the two reportedly opted for a casual outing on Lime bikes.

Romance rumours surrounding Kardashian and Hamilton began gaining attention earlier in 2026. They were reportedly seen together in Aspen around New Year’s Eve before being linked to a getaway in the Cotswolds.

Speculation intensified after the pair were seen arriving at a Paris hotel in the same SUV. They later attended Super Bowl LX together in February, further fuelling interest in their relationship.

The pair appeared to confirm their romance on social media in April, when they made their relationship Instagram official.
