Alexandra Leclerc hosts Miami dinner

Fashion dinner parties are not usually motorsport news. But Miami Grand Prix week keeps turning them into part of the main event. On Thursday night, Alexandra Leclerc hosted a dinner at Casa Tua Miami Beach to celebrate her new capsule with FRAME, pulling in names like Hailey Bieber, Kim Petras, and Hannah Bronfman just as Formula 1 weekend kicked into gear. The bigger point is not just who showed up. It’s that Miami race week now works like a citywide festival, where the off-track scene matters almost as much as the laps do.

Alexandra Leclerc — better known to many fans as Alexandra Saint Mleux before her marriage — has become a recognizable figure in the F1 orbit, but this event was not just “driver’s partner hosts dinner.” FRAME built a full collaboration around her, positioning her as collaborator and muse for a spring capsule shaped by Monaco style, European summer dressing, and her own everyday wardrobe.

Casa Tua Miami Beach is intimate, expensive-looking, and already wired into fashion and celebrity culture, which makes it a cleaner fit for a luxury denim-and-ready-to-wear launch than a noisy trackside activation.
