Alexandra Saint-Mleux and Charles Leclerc make their first appearance as newlyweds in Cannes

Alexandra Saint-Mleux and Charles Leclerc celebrated their wedding at the beginning of March this year on the French coast, a meaningful location for both Alexandra and her now-husband, whose Monegasque roots made the setting especially fitting. Within hours, photos of the couple went viral, and Alexandra immediately updated her social media name to Alexandra Leclerc, adopting her husband’s surname.

Although the couple is expected to celebrate with a much larger event within the next year, Charles and Alexandra are already embracing married life. What better way to begin this new chapter than at the Cannes Film Festival, where the pair turned heads while walking the red carpet for the premiere of A Woman’s Life.

The couple currently lives in Monte Carlo, just minutes away from Cannes. Although they travel constantly during the Formula 1 season, the Cannes Film Festival fits perfectly into their schedule before the next race in Montreal, only a couple of weeks ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix.

The pair walked the red carpet for the premiere of La Vie D’Une Femme, marking the first public appearance — outside of race weekends — that they have made together since getting married.

For the occasion, Alexandra stunned in a custom design by Paolo Sebastian featuring appliqués, ruffles, and shimmering details that created a floral, sophisticated effect, especially throughout the skirt. She paired the look with diamond jewelry from Messika Paris and a sleek hairstyle that elevated the elegance of the ensemble.

Meanwhile, the Scuderia Ferrari driver walked beside his wife wearing a classic suit by Giorgio Armani, styled with dark sunglasses that added even more glamour to the look. It was an elegant choice that stayed true to the couple’s signature style: refined without feeling excessive or overly opulent. Rather than dressing for shock value, they leaned into timeless sophistication, elevating the dress code through confidence and presence.

There is little doubt that the couple’s appearance will be one of the most memorable moments of this year’s French Riviera festival. They did not simply walk the event as guests — they carried themselves like Monaco royalty.
