The 2024 Miami Grand Prix was a big deal. An estimated 275K fans attended the sold-out race weekend. 🤯
But it was not just about fast cars; it was where the stars came out to play.
One of the big names was Kendall Jenner.
And why was Kendall screaming about the Met Gala on Monday? 🤔
Known for her love of cars, Kendall wasn’t just there to watch. She teamed up with Tommy Hilfiger and F1 star Sir Lewis Hamilton for a special brand ambassador appearance.
Tommy Hilfiger introduced Kendall as the face of their new spring collection. And Lewis? He has been a Tommy Hilfiger brand ambassador for a while now.
👉 Together, they made the weekend unforgettable.
Join me as I examine this new brand ambassador deal and why it was a fantastic move.

Tommy Hilfiger’s perfect brand placement
Kendall Jenner and Lewis Hamilton teaming up was a brilliant move for Tommy Hilfiger.
Why?
✅ They brought their style and speed to a huge event, perfectly matching the brand’s vibe of luxury and energy.
✅ Mercedes was also part of the collab, further showcasing the luxury vibes.
✅ With stars like Jenner and Hamilton, the campaign tells a story that clicks with both style lovers and race fans, making the brand even more appealing.
I used my influencer marketing platform to dig a little deeper. Here’s what I found:
📊 Kendall Jenner, Lewis Hamilton, and Tommy Hilfiger have a combined 344M followers! AAnd then we’re not even talking about the Mercedes fans!
📊 Nearly 30% of Lewis Hamilton’s Instagram fans also follow Kendall Jenner.
📊 Almost 31% of Kandall’s audience and 30% of Hamilton’s audience are interested in clothing and fashion.
📊 40% of Kendall’s audience are also Tommy Hilfiger fans!
But there’s more.
I think what makes this partnership really stand out is how genuine it feels.
Kendall’s real love for racing and her history with F1 races add a lot of weight to her backing Tommy Hilfiger.
By choosing such a big event like the Miami GP to showcase this partnership, they really got the spotlight, reaching all sorts of people and setting the stage for future celebrity-brand collaborations in sports.
