Alexandra Leclerc, née Saint Mleux, did not let a dismissive online comment go unanswered during the Miami Grand Prix weekend. A commenter — in a post that has since been deleted — told the 24-year-old that she is “nothing without Leclerc,” referring to her husband and Ferrari Formula 1 driver Charles Leclerc. Rather than ignore the remark, Alexandra responded publicly on Instagram.
“Actually without my husband I’m a normal girl, with my normal hobbies, my normal interests, my normal passions, who tries to be as kind as she can,” she wrote. “That’s also what I am as his wife. And there’s nothing wrong with that that’s probably what you are too, and that’s great! We’re not all meant to be singers, doctors, actresses or athletes, and that doesn’t take away from someone’s value. Who you are as a person, how you treat others and what you choose to do with your freetime does tho! Reflect.”
The reply, calm in tone and measured in content, circulated widely on social media and drew broad praise for its composure. Alexandra had been present in the Ferrari garage over the Miami Grand Prix weekend, posting photos that attracted both support and criticism from followers. The race itself was a turbulent one for Charles Leclerc, who went from contending for a podium finish to being classified eighth following a dramatic last-lap spin and a post-race penalty.
Alexandra Leclerc commands an audience of over 4.4 million Instagram followers and is a consistent presence in the Formula 1 paddock. However, her public visibility also makes her a frequent target of online criticism — a dynamic that is not new to the Leclerc household. In 2023, Charles Leclerc publicly called on fans to respect his privacy after his Monaco apartment address was leaked online, leading to individuals gathering outside his home.
The couple married in a civil ceremony in Monaco in February 2026, having been in a relationship that steadily attracted global media attention as Charles Leclerc’s profile in Formula 1 grew.
Born in Calais, France, and raised in Italy, Alexandra holds French, Mexican, and Argentinian heritage. She is a graduate of the prestigious École du Louvre in Paris, where she specialised in 20th-century art history. Her professional background spans roles as an art assistant at an auction house in Monte Carlo, a public relations position with Monaco Art Week, and the role of Art Coordinator at Kamil Art Gallery in Monaco. She continues to run a dedicated Instagram art page as curator.
In the fashion space, Alexandra has built a following around what is widely described as a “quiet luxury” aesthetic across Instagram and TikTok. That influence has translated into commercial partnerships with brands including Rhode by Hailey Bieber, Jacquemus, and Alo Yoga, as well as editorial placements in Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar Turkey, and ELLE Mexico. Most recently, she launched a capsule collection with fashion brand FRAME during the Miami Grand Prix weekend in May 2026.
Beyond fashion and art, Alexandra is involved in philanthropy through the Corazones Unidos Fund, her foundation focused on children’s education and artistic development in Mexico — an initiative she has described as a reflection of her maternal heritage.
The episode adds to a broader conversation within Formula 1 circles about the scrutiny faced by partners and family members of drivers, who occupy an increasingly prominent role in the sport’s expanding lifestyle and media ecosystem.
