Kim Kardashian knows how to steal the show, and at the 2026 Vanity Fair Oscars Party, she did it again. All eyes were on her, and quite literally so. And somehow, even from halfway across the world, Lewis Hamilton managed to join in.
What happened?
Right after the Vanity Fair Oscars Party, Kim posted a bunch of photos to Instagram, showing off her jaw-dropping “Gucci girl” look. She was draped in gold, striking that signature confident pose. People flooded her comments, but one reply stood out: Lewis Hamilton dropped a heart-eyes emoji. Simple, but if you’ve been following the rumors, you get why the internet immediately lost its mind.
For those who missed the info, Hamilton wasn’t even at the party. He was in Shanghai, busy with the Chinese Grand Prix. However, that didn’t matter. That online comment was enough to make waves, and it read as a clear sign that something’s up between the two.
Kim Kardashian’s look for the party
Kim showed up at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in a gold Gucci gown that clung to her in all the right ways. It shimmered, it turned heads, and it looked straight off the Milan runway. She paired the dress with sky-high platforms, but what really caught people off guard was her icy blue contacts. They gave her a totally different vibe: kind of futuristic, but still classic Kim. Smoky eyes, bronzed skin, nude lips, and her hair in a tousled, shoulder-length cut pulled it all together.Although Hamilton was nowhere near the party venue, Kim wasn’t flying solo, either. Kendall, Kylie, and Kris Jenner were all there, but Kim owned the red carpet with her messy “Gucci Girl” look.
Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton: Inside the rumored romance
This flirty online moment between Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton is just the latest in a string of sightings and rumors. About two weeks before his Instagram comment, per People, paparazzi caught the two of them in Arizona at Lake Powell, walking together at sunset. Both of them posted about the trip on social media: same backgrounds, same day, nothing obvious, but fans put two and two together.For the unversed, their connection isn’t exactly new; they’ve run in the same circles since 2015. But lately, things have picked up. Per People, there was a private trip to the Cotswolds, a Paris hotel sighting in February, and then they showed up together at Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara. One source told People that Lewis makes Kim feel safe and that she’s genuinely happy spending time with him. Apparently, she’s always had a soft spot for him, but this is the first time in a while she’s gotten really excited about someone.Right now, Kim’s just seeing where things go. However, nothing has been made official yet — neither from Kim’s end, nor from Hamilton’s.
