Seven-time Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton has been making moves on and off the track in 2024, having started off the year with the stunning announcement that he's quitting Mercedes for Ferrari at the end of the season.

The veteran driver is also well known for his diverse off-track interests, including in the music, film and food worlds, but it's his frequent entries into the fashion world which have helped launch his latest move.

2025 will see Hamilton look to add a record-breaking eighth drivers' title to his trophy cabinet, but off the track, he is set for an important role, too.

That is according to Vogue, who have revealed that Hamilton is set to co-chair the 2025 Met Gala.

According to Vogue, the exhibition will "feature garments, paintings, photographs, and more—all exploring the indelible style of Black men in the context of dandyism, from the 18th century through present day".

Hamilton is set to co-chair the event alongside a star-studded lineup, including honorary chair and NBA icon LeBron James.

Alongside Hamilton and James will be Pharell Williams, Colman Domingo, A$AP Rocky and Anna Wintour.

Hamilton has been a regular attendee at the Met Gala since 2015, according to Vogue.

This will be a great move for the F1 champion, who has made his love for fashion no secret in the past, often seen sporting the latest gear in and around the paddock.

With his move to Ferrari on the horizon, too, it appears Hamilton has plenty to look forward to in 2025.
