Spanish newspaper says Virginia's look at Formula 1 was chosen "to overshadow pilots' wives"; understand the backlash

oglobo14 September 2026 at 13:59

Virginia, a Brazilian influencer dating Real Madrid player Vinicius Jr., visited the Formula 1 paddock during the Spanish Grand Prix this Sunday (13), accompanying the player. The visit continues to generate negative backlash, both on social media and in the local press, because of the look Virginia chose for the event.

The Spanish newspaper El Mundo published a story stating that Virginia's outfit choice had been made specifically to "overshadow" Formula 1 pilots' wives and girlfriends, who, according to the newspaper, tend to be "much more discreet and elegant than those in football."

Virginia wore a black top with exposed abdomen and low-waist pants from German brand Namilia, model NFS Moto X, with side cutouts, lycra panels, and orange and yellow details. Many people on social media criticized the color choice, especially the orange, considering it was not the best option, since Virginia and Vinicius Jr. visited the Mercedes team pits, whose predominant color is silver.

Why this matters

The backlash highlights how style choices by Brazilian public figures are scrutinized internationally, especially in prestigious sporting contexts such as F1, where expectations for behavior and dress can differ significantly from European football standards. The episode also shows the coverage the Spanish press dedicates to controversies involving sports-linked celebrities, amplifying the reach of criticism beyond social networks.
