Formula 1 dress code
While the FIA (Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile) doesn’t have a set F1 dress code per say, there are some guidelines based on the countries culture and the tickets you have. Because it’s the first time it’s been held in Las Vegas, you’re going to be the ones who determine the fashion.
In Vegas pretty much anything goes. However, there are still some things that are frowned upon at the F1 and you should still keep it polished and smart casual but comfortable (e.g. don’t wear beach attire or loungewear).
Las Vegas in November tends to be a different than dressing for the Grand Prix in Monaco or Abu Dhabi which tends to be warmer and the outfits more sophisticated. Fashion varies from country to country. So it’s all about dressing for your surroundings, being respectful of different cultures and the weather. As well as the hospitality or area you’re in.
If you’re in an inside hospitality suite with terrace access you can dress in layers versus wanting to dress warmer if you’re going to be outside all day. Wherever you are, the F1’s always a great excuse to dress fashionably.
If you’ve got access to the Champions Club or the Formula 1 Paddock Club™, you’ll need to make more of an effort to “look the part” than in a grandstand. Smart casual dress is recommended…The Champions Club and Formula 1 Paddock Club request that no jogging suits, shorts or beach attire be worn.

I’ve tried to include something for everyone whether your style’s more modest, sophisticated, sexy, casual or glam.
Formula 1 celebrity inspired outfit ideas
The theme of Las Vegas F1 fashion last year was undeniably leather which it’s sure to be again. It’s perfect for November in Vegas, looks sporty and is a major fashion trend for FW2024. Rihanna, Paris, Nina Dobrev and Heidi Klum all rocked black leather jackets just styled differently.
Leather outfit ideas:
- Take styling inspo from the style queen herself, Rihanna, in her black leather bomber jacker, black leather leggings and a black zippered sweater.
- Paris Hilton and Nina Dobrev both in black leather jackets, leather pants and black pointed toe stiletto heel boots.
- For the sexiest outfit and only for the bravest, check out what Heidi Klum wore to F1 Vegas. She wore just an open black leather jacket (with nothing underneath), black briefs and black fishnet tights.
- Looking for something more colorful, seek out a style like Lupita Nyong’o’s edgy, red leather vest.
- Liza Koshy in a red, white, blue and black leather jacket and black leather pants.
If your style is more classic and you’re wanting to take a more chic approach, look at Tommy Hilfiger’s wife Dee Ocleppo Hilfiger and Geri Halliwell for style inspiration. Geri opted for a chic monochromatic cream outfit and sneakers and Dee for a classic and stylish navy pants suit.
For the ultimate in comfort Cara Delevingne wore a loose fitting green satin pant suit. If you also like to make a statement and color splash, look for a bright blue jumpsuit like Kylie Minogue’s.
More Formula 1 outfit ideas
There are so many ways to dress for the Las Vegas F1 Grand Prix. So it should be fairly easy to find something that works for your personal style and the tickets you have.
There’s also been a lot of F1 capsule lines released by various designers. You really can’t get it wrong with any of these since they’re designed specifically as Formula 1 outfits.
- A long sleeve bouclé dress or blazer dress looks elegant and chic. Layer with tights if it’s cold.
- For an on trend look style a sweatshirt, pleated skirt, and chunky boots with ankle socks and sunglasses.
- Blazer and shorts sets or blazer and pants sets are great for layering with with comfortable loafers for a chic effortless style.
- For a softer, feminine look style a flowy midi or maxi dress with sneakers or trending ballet pumps, slides or Mary Jane flats.

- Oversized blazers are still in style and easy to wear over leather leggings. Add a bucket hat for an easy street style luxe Formula One outfit.
- If your team Ferrari, style one of their sweaters with leggings (and a baseball cap if you’re not in a suite). If there’s a time to be loud and proud, F1 Las Vegas is it! Wear it with loafers or boots to stop the look being too casual.
- A sweater dress and trench coat is sophisticated, warm and comfortable Formula 1 outfit for a long day at the track.

Chanel Formula One t shirt
The Chanel Formula One t shirt which is part of Chanel’s F1-inspired Cruise 2023 collection has already gone viral! Thanks in part to influencers seen wearing Chanel’s T-shirt at the Monaco Grand Prix on May 28, 2023. As well as the explosion on TikTok about it.
If you’re ok dropping $4450 or £4,000 on a t-shirt and looking for one piece that you’ll always remember the event by and that you can wear on repeat, it’s the Chanel Formula One t shirt. It’s hard to get hold of, so contact a Chanel Advisor or click the image below ASAP. If you want to have any chance of getting your hands on one.
What shoes to wear to the Formula 1 Las Vegas
Be warned, it’s a lot of walking and a long day on your feet so maybe leave the heels at home! In some other cities wedges, espadrilles, or a block heel works. However, from what I hear, the Vegas track is going to mean a lot of walking. So you might want to go for more comfortable flats like slides, sneakers, trending chic loafers, ballet flats, Mary Jane pumps or kitten heels.
Flat leather knee high boots are also a great option with thick socks if it’s really cold. Just make sure you’ve broken them in first. No one wants to be thinking about their feet or uncomfortable at the Grand Prix.
Formula 1 fashion | Official F1 brand collaborations
Although Hollister recently launched a collection of McLaren-inspired T-shirts. While PacSun collaborated with the official Formula 1 brand to produce graphic tees inspired by motor racing.
The Scuderia AlphaTauri team even launched their official team unisex sneakers with P448. They’re available to shop online only and of course Ferrari has their own entire apparel line.
I’d suggest leaving these to chilling at the hotel room or non-official F1 parties and going for a smarter look that’s more appropriate for the unspoken F1 dress code.
Formula 1 outfit tips for what to wear to Formula 1 Las Vegas
Las Vegas isn’t always hot! The F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix is on November 21-23rd 2024 and it can get cold in November. As well as be windy or rainy. So a smart coat, blazer or leather moto jacket is a great lightweight option for layering with that’s not too bulky to carry around. I can’t stop looking at the Blanc Noir black and white one and might be tempted to add that to my cart sooner than later.
Leather driving gloves are also a cool way to complete your Formula One outfit while keeping your hands warm. Mine are always freezing!
Jumpsuits always look great and are a comfortable option. Just be wary of belts or anything that might end up on the restroom floor or make life more difficult! Cuffed hems are a safe bet as they don’t drag on the ground.
Las Vegas is notorious for random windy and monsoon rainy days so don’t forget a hat and lots of hairspray.

Motorcore is characterized by daring and rebellious styles inspired by the high speeds and very dangerous nature of open-wheel racing.
