The Tamesis
Alexandra Leclerc kicked off her Miami Grand Prix weekend with a lavish dinner on Thursday night to celebrate her new capsule collection with Frame. The fashionista, who is also the wife of F1 driver Charles Leclerc, was surrounded by friends including Hailey Bieber and Kim Petras as she toasted to the occasion.
The sunset cocktail evening was held in the gardens of Casa Tua in South Beach, where guests were welcomed to enjoy signature Monaco Sprite and caviar. Lukas Gage and models Devon Windsor and Sandra Shehab walked around the crowd before taking a seat at a Riviera-style table. The entire evening was dedicated to paying tribute to Leclerc’s hometown of Monaco. Place cards for invitees were written in calligraphy, surrounded by mini olive baguettes and chic burgundy and black menus.
“This campaign is set in Monaco, where I grew up and where I spend most of my life,” said Leclerc. Fashion At dinner. “We thought shooting in Los Angeles or Miami wouldn’t feel as authentic, whereas in Monaco, to me, it’s rooted in authenticity,” she said, noting that the new 21-piece collection, a longtime fan of the brand, is made up of “pieces that I actually reach for in my closet every day.”
“I’m really excited for everyone to wear pieces from the collection tonight and see it on some of my friends,” the plaid-clad social media star continued. “They are really special pieces.” As the evening progressed, Dylan Minnette, Charlotte Lawrence, Stas Karanikolaou, Victoria Villarroel and Faye Kadera immersed themselves in lively conversation around the garden. While most of them have participated in previous F1 race weekends, veteran Leclerc’s advice to newcomers is unbridled. What did she bring home? “Be sure to bring sunglasses and a hat.”
Guests enjoyed a family-style feast al fresco, including arugula salad, Casa Tua’s signature risotto, Wagyu tomahawk, and Mediterranean branzino that paid homage to the French Riviera. To top off the sweet ending, two chocolate mousses were served in the shape of Leclerc’s beloved dachshund Leo, a viral star in his own right and a regular on the F1 paddock.
“Tonight is a very special moment for all of us. It is not only a celebration of the collections that Alexandra has created with us, but also of Alexandra herself,” Frame CEO Silvia Merati said during the toast. “Through this event, you can really feel who she is: authentic, real, and genuine. We are so excited. Thank you, Alexandra, for sharing your story with us and commemorating this moment with Frame.”
There is also a stylish set of branded binoculars placed on each seat, as well as a new range of Le Rocher hats for guests to use throughout the F1 weekend.
