Alexandra Saint Mleux Stuns in Sau Lee at Shanghai Grand Prix in Cheongsam-Inspired Looks

Alexandra turned heads with a trio of Cheongsam-inspired outfits by Hong Kong-based designer Sau Lee

Known for its romantic, East-meets-West design aesthetic, Sau Lee reimagines heritage silhouettes with global appeal. Alex’s choice to spotlight the label during the Formula 1 weekend was both thoughtful and incredibly chic.

Look One: Street-Style Cheongsam with a Bold Twist

A striking black mini Cheongsam dress featuring bold red frog closures - traditional Chinese knotted fastenings - and a daring high slit. Red peep-toe heels and tiny sunglasses completed the look with confident & playful energy.

Look Two: Sleek Evening Elegance in All Black

A full-length black Cheongsam gown with a sleek keyhole neckline and tonal frog buttons trailing down the side. Paired with a deep red Saint Laurent bag and dark sunglasses, the look felt equal parts classic and sophisticated.

Look Three: Soft Power in Blush Tweed

A softer take on tradition in a blush tweed two-piece set, featuring a sleeveless mandarin-collar top and tailored trousers. Styled with a pale pink handbag, this look was playful, polished, and quietly elegant.

A Local Style Moment Done Right

Across all three looks, Alexandra celebrated traditional Chinese fashion in a modern context, choosing to wear a regional designer during an iconic race weekend. It’s the kind of intentional styling that signals the rise of a true fashion muse.

As she continues to appear on the global stage, we hope Alex keeps embracing local designers wherever she lands.
