The most fashionable athletes

More athletes are claiming their stake in the fashion industry by starting clothing lines and walking the catwalk. These athletes may be uniform when honing their craft on the court, field or track, but their style is anything but conforming.
 

F1 (Formula One) driver Lewis Hamilton's clothing line +44 is the number on his race car and his lucky number. (It is also the country code for calling his homeland, the UK). Sir Hamilton (he was knighted by William, the Prince of Wales, in 2021) has been seen in the front row of the Valentino show at Paris Fashion Week, seated next to Zendaya. He was selected as one of the world's most stylish people as part of 2022 The New York Times, "93 most stylish people."
