The 2024 Formula 1 season has officially wrapped up, with Max Verstappen securing his spot as the Driver’s Champion and Lando Norris helping McLaren take their first Constructors’ Championship since 1998. But amidst all the high-speed drama and celebrations, Danica Patrick managed to steal the spotlight in a way no one expected.
The former NASCAR and IndyCar driver, now a pundit on Sky Sports, has had her fair share of criticism, especially around her commentary skills. Despite the mixed reviews, one thing fans can’t deny is her stunning sense of style. Danica’s Instagram boasts nearly a million followers, and she’s always ready to flaunt her latest outfits. At the Abu Dhabi qualifying, she turned heads with a gorgeous off-shoulder dress. But for the season finale, she saved the best for last, leaving fans absolutely buzzing over her jaw-dropping look.

Let’s be honest—there were some raised eyebrows when Sky Sports announced they were keeping Danica Patrick on the team. Especially after her controversial comments about women in F1 racing last year. As the only woman to ever win an IndyCar race, she stirred the pot when she said, “You have to handle the car—not just the car, but the mindset that it takes to be really good, which isn’t normal in a feminine mind.”
Unsurprisingly, she received a wave of backlash, but Sky Sports kept her on the roster. Some fans even called for a boycott, especially after she was paired with F1 regulars like Jenson Button, Nico Rosberg, and Naomi Schiff.
But here’s the thing—no matter what people think about her commentary, they can’t help but gush over her fashion choices. This season, she wore one unforgettable outfit after another. The latest? A blue-and-white gradient bodycon dress. Danica Patrick posted a series of selfies from the track on Instagram, and she didn’t miss a single moment. From the start/finish line to the podium, where Lando Norris was presented with the Abu Dhabi GP trophy, she looked absolutely stunning in every shot. Here, take a look:

Patrick, a master at selfies, perfectly captured all the moments from the track, a selfie with her camera crew, interviewing brown, or with the non-stop firecrackers that lighted up the beautiful track. And while Partick for long has been a fan favorite for her looks, her dress caught many people’s eyes.
Whether mesmerized by its colors or the peculiar cut and design of the dress, fans were left awestruck.
Fans can’t get enough of the dress
As usual, fans were quick to share their admiration for the dress. Some couldn’t get enough of the swirling blue and white gradient design, which seemed to have a hypnotic effect on anyone who looked at it. One fan commented, “That dress makes me think I’m drunk 🤦🏼♂🤣 you look great 🙌🔥”—a sentiment that many others echoed.
But it wasn’t just the colors that had people talking. The dress had a unique cut—a softer, curvier silhouette compared to most dresses with sharp edges. The flowy design added to its allure, giving it a dreamy, almost fluid feel. Another fan gushed, “That is the coolest dress I have ever seen.” And we get it. It’s not every day you see a dress that looks like a jigsaw puzzle come to life, one leg completely covered while the other is left free to move. Pure genius. Another fan echoed, “Amazing dress.”

Of course, this wasn’t the first time Danica made a bold fashion statement. Fans still remember her striking red suit from the Vegas GP and the glamorous black-and-gold number she rocked earlier in the season. And let’s be honest, who could forget those? But this particular dress has definitely been a standout for many fans.
Some even got a little Sherlock-Holmes-y, trying to analyze the dress from every angle. One fan wondered if it was one of those chameleon-like dresses that change colors. “Wait, is that the same dress that would change colors? Looks similar haha,” they said. Well, that’s a secret that only Danica and her designer know!
While fans were in awe of the dress itself, one comment stood out for its focus on Danica’s overall impact. One fan wrote, “Sensational figure in a sensational dress!!” And honestly, it’s true. Danica has been a trailblazer in motorsports and continues to be one of the most influential women in the sport. Whether you’re a fan of her commentary or her style, there’s no denying she’s made her mark.
