Reality television icon and SKIMS founder Kim Kardashian has embraced the world of Formula One fashion during a vibrant family excursion to Tokyo, Japan. The 45-year-old celebrity, who has been romantically connected to British racing superstar Lewis Hamilton since January, showcased her adventurous side by donning professional racing attire that closely resembled her boyfriend's iconic track outfits.
Instagram Glimpse into Tokyo Getaway
On Friday, Kardashian took to her primary Instagram account to share captivating moments from her Japanese vacation with her extensive following. The social media update arrived shortly after the purpose behind her Tokyo journey with Hamilton and her children became public knowledge. Kardashian brought along three of her young children—Saint, aged 10, Chicago, aged eight, and Psalm, aged six—for an unforgettable experience that included exhilarating go-kart racing sessions.
Racing Attire and Family Fun
The television personality captured a striking selfie while wearing a sleek black helmet paired with a vibrant red racing suit, an ensemble that bore a remarkable similarity to the professional gear Hamilton wears during international Grand Prix events. In additional photographs, Kardashian appeared seated beside her daughter Chicago as they prepared to navigate the go-kart course, while her youngest child Psalm was photographed confidently driving one of the vehicles and later proudly displaying two substantial trophies for the camera.
Kardashian further highlighted her racing-inspired outfit while embracing her son Saint, showcasing the detailed racing jacket complemented by form-fitting red leggings. Her dark hair, parted neatly in the center, cascaded naturally past her shoulders, completing the sporty yet sophisticated look. Beyond the racing activities, the celebrity family explored Tokyo's urban landscape, with Kardashian turning heads in a figure-hugging white ensemble alongside her children and sister Khloe Kardashian.
Cultural Experiences and Family Moments
The Kardashian siblings paused for a memorable photograph together, with Khloe proudly holding a stuffed animal won from a claw machine. Kim also shared a tender moment with her son Saint and seven-year-old niece True as they examined nearby gaming machines. Khloe brought along both her children—True and three-year-old Tatum—whom she shares with former partner Tristan Thompson, making the excursion a genuine family affair.
Adding cultural depth to their Tokyo adventure, Kardashian and her children participated in specialized lessons with renowned samurai artist Tetsuro Shimaguchi. The reality star and her sons posed solemnly while holding traditional swords and wearing authentic samurai garments. Interestingly, Hamilton separately shared photographs to his own Instagram account documenting his private lesson with the same martial arts expert, creating parallel cultural experiences during their overlapping Tokyo visits.
Supporting Hamilton at the Japanese Grand Prix
In her Instagram caption, Kardashian succinctly described the experience with the phrase 'JAPAN THINGS,' while sources have since clarified the primary motivation behind her Tokyo travels. According to an insider speaking with The Sun, Kardashian plans to support and cheer on Hamilton as he competes in the 2026 Japanese Grand Prix, which commences on Sunday, March 29. The source revealed that while Kardashian attended the Las Vegas Grand Prix last year discreetly during the early stages of their relationship, she now intends to openly support him as an established couple alongside her children.
A separate source speaking with People magazine characterized Hamilton as 'an easygoing guy with great energy' who has earned approval from Kardashian's family. The insider noted that while both individuals maintain demanding professional schedules, they make concerted efforts to spend quality time together, suggesting their connection extends beyond casual dating. Although Kardashian and Hamilton have been spotted together on multiple occasions in recent months—including checking into upscale hotels in the Cotswolds and Paris, dining at Aqua Kyoto, and sitting adjacent at Super Bowl LX—neither has formally confirmed their romantic status publicly.
The pair have maintained a friendship spanning many years before romance speculation emerged earlier this year. An Entertainment Tonight source previously described their evolving dynamic, stating they are 'exploring a romantic relationship' after years of platonic friendship. Their Tokyo adventures, combining family activities, cultural immersion, and racing enthusiasm, illustrate the multifaceted nature of their growing connection as Hamilton prepares for his professional commitments at the Japanese Grand Prix.
