Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton didn’t make their Met Gala debut as a couple, but they’ve stayed in New York and went to see The Fear of 13 on Broadway—Kim’s first project as a producer. This is a special moment for her, bringing a play to life that focuses on criminal justice reform, one of her biggest passions.

The couple hasn’t quite found a matching style yet, dressing very differently for their night out. Kim wore a custom version of the Jean Paul Gaultier spring 2022 couture collection, sporting jeans for the first time in a while. (Of course, it’s denim in the most Kim Kardashian way: super tight and body-hugging.) What broke her jeans hiatus? Well, her sister Kylie Jenner is launching a KHY denim line (and has been wearing low-rise blue and white jeans at New York Knicks games), and jeans made a pretty controversial appearance at the 2026 Met Gala.

Kim’s outfit included an icy blue, long-sleeved Jean Paul Gaultier corset with braided details (the original runway version was champagne-colored), paired with light blue loose jeans with an asymmetric waist. She finished the look with barely-there blue sandals and her hair in a sleek up-do. Her makeup stayed true to her signature style: flawless skin with bold blush, spiky lashes, and a creamy nude lip.

Hamilton, holding her hand, went for something more comfortable for their Broadway night. The racing driver wore a taupe track jacket and matching pants with brown lace-up dress shoes.

This is the second time Kim has shown up to support The Fear of 13. She went the weekend before the Met Gala with her mom Kris Jenner, sister Kylie, and Kylie’s partner Timothée Chalamet. While someone might choose something more relaxed for a few hours in a theater seat, Kim stuck to her signature tight, dramatic style, wearing a Christian Dior spring 1997 silk cheongsam in pale yellow jacquard. She accessorized with a tiny, ultra-rare silver Hermès Sac Bijou Birkin. Last night’s look was definitely Kim’s take on casual and low-key.

Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton have been linked romantically for several months, squeezing in trips to Tokyo, the English countryside, and Coachella as their relationship grows. February seemed to be their official public debut, as they attended the 2026 Super Bowl together in matching sleek all-black outfits. In some of the first paparazzi shots of their date nights (one at Nobu Malibu, because where else?), it looks like Kim is adding a sporty touch to her sensual style with Hamilton by her side. With F1 racing season in full swing, can we expect to see less of Kim on the red carpet and more of her in the paddock?
