There’s a certain kind of magic that happens when the camera pans to the stands during an F1 Grand Prix or a World Cup final, and no, we’re not talking about the action on the field or the track. We’re talking about HER. You know, the effortlessly chic woman perched trackside in a designer two-piece, sunglasses that cost more than your rent, and that "didn't try too hard" glam that looks like a Vogue cover waiting to happen. Welcome to the world of WAGs, the wives and girlfriends of sports royalty, where beauty meets billion-dollar events, and not a single eyelash is out of place.
Gen Z is obsessed, and we totally get it. Why? Because these women aren’t just a plus one, they’re influencers, entrepreneurs, and glam queens in their own right. They’ve perfected the art of looking “paparazzi-ready” 24/7, balancing red carpet glam with “just watching the game” vibes. They're living proof that you can cheer from the sidelines and serve a full face beat at the same time.
Read about the glitzy world of F1 and sports WAGs, from their immaculate contouring to the lip combo that’s breaking TikTok and show you how to recreate three of the most iconic WAG glam looks at home. Because who says you need a billionaire athlete boyfriend to look like that girl?
Carmen Montero Mundt
Carmen, the longtime girlfriend of Mercedes F1 driver George Russell, is the epitome of understated elegance. Think glossy waves, glass skin, and brows that could get their own sponsorship deal.
Base: Start with a hydrating primer and go in with a luminous foundation. Think of your base to be more radiant, and aim for second-skin finishes.
Brows: Carmen’s brows are structured but natural, try a fine-tip pencil and set with a clear gel.
Eyes: Light champagne shimmer across the lids, thin liner, and fluttery lashes. Use a lash lift mascara if falsies aren’t your thing.
Lips: Go for a soft nude with a rosy undertone, try Charlotte Tilbury’s Pillow Matte Revolution with a swipe of gloss on top.

Antonela Roccuzzo
Married to football icon Lionel Messi, Antonela gives us timeless bombshell vibes every time. She’s all about the bronzed skin, sultry eyes, and glossy lips.
Base: Matte but warm. Opt for a matte foundation and mix in a little liquid bronzer to get that sun-kissed glow.
Contour: She loves a sculpt, use cream contour sticks to snatch those cheekbones.
Eyes: Smoky neutrals with a hint of gold shimmer, and a thick lash line. Her lashes are almost always full, so go ahead and grab a pair of your favourite extension-look strip.
Lips: A peachy-pink gloss is her go-to; try Dior Lip Glow Oil in Rosewood for that ultra-juicy finish.

Alexandra Saint Mleux
Alexandra, girlfriend of Ferrari’s golden boy Charles Leclerc, is the definition of effortless European je ne sais quoi. Her look is chic, modern, and subtly sultry, think dewy skin, flushed cheeks, tousled hair, and an “I woke up like this” glow that’s very French-girl-code, in fact, très chic.
Base: Light, breathable skin is her trademark. Use a tinted moisturiser to even out skin tone without masking your natural texture.
Blush: Cream blush is everything here. Go for a soft rose or berry tint and tap it across cheeks and the bridge of the nose for that subtly sun-kissed flush.
Eyes: Minimal yet defined. Use a warm taupe or champagne shimmer on the lids, a smudge of brown liner on the lash line, and a curling mascara to open up the eyes.
Lips: She keeps it glossy and you can go for something lowkey, opt for a tinted lip oil like a soft pink balm. The vibe? “I just ate a croissant and still look hot.”

You don’t need a front-row seat at Silverstone or a footballer's bae to glow like a WAG. All you need is good lighting, a steady hand, and a little bit of audacity.
