Alexandra Leclerc kicked off her Miami Grand Prix weekend with a swanky dinner on Thursday evening to celebrate her new capsule collection with Frame. The style maven—and wife of F1 racer Charles Leclerc—was surrounded by friends like Hailey Bieber and Kim Petras as she toasted to the drop.
Hosted in the garden of South Beach’s Casa Tua, guests were welcomed with a sunset cocktail soirée serving up a signature Monaco Spritzes and caviar. Among the crowd, Lukas Gage and models Devon Windsor and Sandra Shehab made the rounds before taking a seat at the Riviera-inspired tables. The entire evening was an homage to Leclerc’s hometown of Monaco; invitees’ place cards were written in calligraphy and surrounded by mini olive baguettes and chic burgundy and black menus.
“The campaign was set in Monaco, which is the place where I grew up and where I spend most of my time still,” Leclerc told Vogue during dinner. “We thought shooting it in L.A. or Miami wouldn’t feel as authentic, whereas in Monaco, for me, it’s rooted in authenticity,” A longtime fan of the brand, she noted that the new 21-piece line consists of “pieces I would actually reach for in my wardrobe everyday.”
“Tonight, I’m really excited for everyone to wear a piece of the collection and to see it on some of my friends,” the gingham-clad social media star continued. “They’re really special pieces.” Around the garden, Dylan Minnette, Charlotte Lawrence, Stas Karanikolaou, Victoria Villarroel, and Fai Khadra were immersed in lively conversation as the night carried on. While most had attended a previous F1 weekend, advice for first-timers was free-flowing from race veteran Leclerc. Her take-home? “Always bring sunglasses and a hat.”
Guests dined al fresco over a family style feast of arugula salad, Casa Tua’s signature risotto al tartufo, wagyu tomahawk, and a nod to the French Riviera by way of a Mediterranean branzino. For a sweet ending, a duo of chocolate mousses shaped like Leclerc’s beloved dachshund Leo—a viral star in his own right and regular in the F1 paddock—was served.
“Tonight is a very special moment for all of us. It’s a celebration not only of the collection Alexandra created with us, but also a celebration of Alexandra herself,” Frame CEO Silvia Merati said during a toast. “Through this campaign, you can truly feel who she is: real, authentic, and genuine. We couldn’t be more excited. Thank you, Alexandra, for sharing your story with us and marking this moment with Frame.”
A stylish set of branded binoculars were also placed at each seat—ready for guests to use throughout the F1 weekend, along with the Le Rocher hat from the new collection.
The Alexandra Leclerc capsule collection launched on FRAME.com on May 1.
