Let’s face it, it’s pretty obvious that her paddock appearance is striking—she was the face of Vogue! Wondering who she might be? Well, ladies and gentlemen, meet Rebecca Donaldson.

To the fans of Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz Jr., Rebecca Donaldson is a familiar face. Summer of 2023, shortly after the end of his seven-year relationship with Spanish journalist Isa Hernaéz, we saw the Ferrari driver hand-in-hand with Scottish model Rebecca Donaldson.

We know you’re curious, so we’ve got you covered. Here’s a little to know about Rebecca Donaldson.

Scotland-based Model and Entrepreneur

Born in Perthshire, Scotland, Rebecca Donaldson is a 28-year-old UK-based model and entrepreneur currently represented by Brand Model Management. Rebecca said that her modeling career was all thanks to her mother who signed her up for a beauty pageant when she was seventeen years old—crowned as the winner on ‘Face of 2011’, Rebecca then went on to compete in the Top Models UK.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Rebecca launched her activewear brand, Muse Activewear. Claimed that the brand highlights the minimalism trend, the collection was said to be a diversity of comfortable gym wear that can be used daily!

On the Pages and Covers of Fashion Magazines

Rebecca has adorned the front pages of many fashion magazines–-there’s no doubt that Rebecca is beyond fashionable. Her unique features and professional modelling skills scored her not just one, but many front covers of fashion magazines.

The Scottish model starred on the cover of Marie Claire Mexico in their October 2022 issue, before heading on to be featured in Ted Baker’s Spring 2023 ‘Get It On’ Collection. She was also spotted presenting the pattern in Wish Magazine Australia’s annual art issue on June 2023, showcasing a variety of fashion styles—she was styled from a range of collections: Ralph Lauren, Christian Dior, Gucci, Hèrmes and countless more. For Rebecca, versatility is definitely her middle name. Later into 2023, Rebecca oozed the quintessence of Riviera glamour for the holiday issue of Palace Scope.

Her beauty editorials make up a long list, really. She’s been in the pages of the June 2023 issue of Vogue Portugal, and early on January 2024, Rebecca’s side profile graced the front cover of Vogue Ukraine. Donned in swimsuits for the summer, the Scottish model channelled an ensemble of beach looks. Rebecca was also within the pages of ELLE Hungary, sporting a light brown Prada coat.

In the following April 2024, Rebecca was the cover of ELLE Belgium, accessorised in a special Louis Vuitton. With her Instagram post captioned ‘a busy month,’ we can confirm that’s true—because in the very same month, she’s also the cover story for Harper’s Bazaar Turkey!

As of recently, Rebecca was photographed draped in a black colour palette for her editorial and interview with RUSSH Magazine.

In the Fast Lane with Carlos Sainz

Throughout the Formula 1 Grands Prix, Rebecca is often seen around the paddock with Charles Leclerc’s girlfriend, Alexandra Saint Mleux. During the Miami Grand Prix, the two Ferrari WAGs were invited by F1 Academy to cheer on the girls racing!

Sainz and Rebecca were first spotted in Milan in 2023, going together on various events and holidays, and they’ve been together ever since. Been dating for almost a year, Rebecca is often spotted supporting her boyfriend Sainz—she’s undoubtedly a regular to the trackside, now. You can even catch the Spanish driver commenting cute emojis on her Instagram posts!

We’ve seen a lot of captured photographs of Sainz and Rebecca circulating on the internet, and guess what?
