Hamilton and Tommy do their part at the Met Gala!

A mental projection of a TV signal came to mind when this picture showed up on our Twitter feed, or was it an image of Eddie Murphy in 'Coming to America'?

Regardless of what anyone thinks of the bold fashion kit worn by Lewis Hamilton at yesterday's Met Gala in New York, anything less extravagant or dazzling on the part of the reigning world champion would have been a disappointment.

Why? Because the dress code for this year's benefit called for outfits to be based on "irony, humour, parody, pastiche, artifice, theatricality and exaggeration".

Hamilton and stylist Tommy Hilfiger thus went the full nine yards!
