Kim Kardashian displayed an unusually relaxed and pared-back style during a recent outing with her eight-year-old daughter Chicago in Calabasas, Los Angeles. The 45-year-old reality television star turned business mogul, who is typically known for her glamorous and extravagant appearances, opted for a comfortable and understated ensemble that marked a significant departure from her usual aesthetic.
A Rare Casual Look for the Fashion Icon
During the shopping trip to Cala Kids Clothing, Kim Kardashian wore a baggy grey tracksuit from Nike, featuring an oversized zip-up hoodie paired with loose-fitting joggers. She completed the look with Yeezy sliders and socks, from the brand owned by her ex-husband Kanye West. It is noteworthy that while Kanye West retains ownership of the Yeezy and YZY trademarks following the end of his partnership with Adidas, the sportswear giant maintained rights to the intellectual property of existing sneaker models.
Her dark hair was slicked back into a neat bun, and she accessorised with a pair of stylish oversized sunglasses, emphasising her off-duty vibe. This casual appearance is particularly striking given that Kim has previously had disagreements with her sister Kourtney over her lavish and often elaborate fashion choices.
Romance Rumours with Lewis Hamilton Intensify
Kim Kardashian's outing follows growing speculation about her relationship with Formula One racing driver Lewis Hamilton. The pair delighted fans when they were seen together on a date at the Super Bowl inside Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. However, Hamilton, who is currently in Bahrain for official testing ahead of the 2026 Formula One season, has been reluctant to discuss their budding romance publicly.
Hamilton's Evasive Response to Press Questions
Sky Sports F1 reporter Ted Kravitz revealed that Hamilton avoided answering questions about Kim Kardashian during media interactions. When asked by written press if he enjoyed her company more than the game at the Super Bowl, Hamilton firmly replied, "It's my private life, I'm not talking about that." Kravitz humorously noted that he had considered asking if Kim would become a tifosi—a term for passionate Ferrari fans—but decided against it, acknowledging that Hamilton was unlikely to provide any details.
Historical Connections and Family Ties
Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton have known each other for over a decade, with their friendship dating back to at least 2014. They were photographed together at the GQ Men of the Year Awards in London alongside their then-partners, Kanye West and Nicole Scherzinger. In 2015, Kanye West invited Hamilton to spend Easter with their family, and Hamilton later joined Kim and her family in the VIP section when West headlined the Glastonbury Festival.
Hamilton has also developed a close friendship with Kim's sister, Kendall Jenner, and has been supported by their mother, Kris Jenner, at events like the Monaco Grand Prix. Kim and Kanye West announced their separation in 2021 and finalised their divorce the following year. Kim shares four children with West: North, 12, Saint, nine, Chicago, eight, and Psalm, six.
Recent Public Appearances Together
Beyond the Super Bowl date, Kim and Lewis were last seen together after Kate Hudson's New Year's Eve party in Aspen. They also attended the 2021 Wall Street Journal's Innovator Awards, where Kim expressed honour at being recognised among talented peers. Hamilton shared a photograph of them backstage on Instagram, highlighting collaborations like Kim's work with Kim Jones on Skims and other industry innovations.
As Kim continues to film scenes for the movie "The Fifth Wheel" in Los Angeles with co-stars like Nikki Glaser, Brenda Song, and Fortune Feimster, the public remains captivated by her evolving personal life and style choices. Her casual outing with daughter Chicago not only showcases a different side of the celebrity but also fuels ongoing curiosity about her relationship with Lewis Hamilton, as both navigate the spotlight with discretion.
