The Danish racing driver and model offered L'OFFICIEL a glimpse at the electrifying campaign shoot in London.&nbsp;

Since stepping into the spotlight as one of the world's youngest&mdash;and most acclaimed&mdash;female Formula 1 drivers, 17-year-old Alba Hurup Larsen has turned heads with her expertise on the track, yes, but she's also become something of an icon for young women across the world. Between her work that supports the inclusion of girls in motorsports and her charismatic presence in the industry, she's quickly becoming one of its most recognizable figures.&nbsp;
Beyond her speed and skill behind the wheel, Larsen has also become a fixture in the fashion scene. Her latest feat? A prominent place in Tommy Jeans' buzzy Spring 2026 campaign alongside fellow brand ambassador Jang Won Young, as well as Cat Burns,&nbsp;James Lee, Franco Masini, and Gaius Okami. For any sartorial savant, the role would be a dream come true, but for Larsen, who identifies her style as somewhere between sporty and sophisticated, it's the perfect fit. The campaign also emphasizes self-expression and authenticity in dressing&mdash;two philosophies near and dear to Larsen.&nbsp;
Ahead of the campaign shoot, L'OFFICIEL caught up with Larsen, who talked favorite pieces from the collection, her personal style evolution, and how stepping into the spotlight has helped her confidence.&nbsp;

L&rsquo;OFFICIEL: How does your personal style fit into the world of Tommy Jeans aesthetics and sartorial codes?
Alba Hurup Larsen: It feels natural. I&rsquo;m drawn to pieces that are relaxed but still have presence. Tommy Jeans has that effortless, sporty confidence; it&rsquo;s never overworked, and that&rsquo;s exactly how I like to dress. 
I live out of a suitcase most of the year, so my style has to move with me. Strong denim, clean lines, one bold detail. That&rsquo;s my language.
L&rsquo;O: What was the most memorable part of participating in the campaign? Were there any wise words that you heard from anyone or goals you had for yourself as a featured figure?
AHL: The energy. It honestly felt electric. We were in London with creatives from all over the world, and everyone brought something different. Cat Burns being a local made it feel authentic; she knew all the spots, and Jang Won Young&rsquo;s style is just effortlessly cool. What I loved most was that we all had completely different backgrounds, but it still felt cohesive like one world. 
My only goal was to stay grounded and be myself. When you&rsquo;re comfortable in who you are, everything else flows.

L&rsquo;O: Do you have any favorite Tommy Jeans pieces that are on repeat in your wardrobe?
AHL: Definitely the navy boyfriend-fit blazer with the cropped badge polo and wide denim, that whole look felt very me. Structured but relaxed. And the red leather bag? That&rsquo;s the statement. I love it when one piece does the talking.
L&rsquo;O:&nbsp;How has your style changed in the past few years? Do you have any big fashion inspirations?
AHL: It&rsquo;s matured with me. When I first started racing internationally, I just wore whatever was practical.&nbsp;
Now I care more about fit, silhouette, and how something makes me feel. I&rsquo;m inspired by women who are fearless but effortless, not loud for attention, just secure in themselves. That kind of quiet confidence is powerful.

L&rsquo;O: How did it feel to star in the campaign? Did the experience make you think about your own style or self-confidence in a new light?
AHL: It was exciting and slightly surreal. Motorsport is intense and performance-driven, so stepping into a creative space like this felt like a different kind of adrenaline. It reminded me that confidence isn&rsquo;t just about winning or being the fastest. Sometimes it&rsquo;s about standing still and owning who you are. Style can express strength just as much as speed can.
L&rsquo;O: Strength, perseverance, and leadership are all major components of your racing career. Are there any styles featured in the campaign that embody those qualities?
AHL: The tailored pieces, especially the blazer, really represent that for me. Structure equals Strength. Tommy Jeans carries that &lsquo;90s heritage energy, but it&rsquo;s refreshed for today. That mix of legacy and evolution mirrors my journey in racing: respecting tradition, but pushing forward. Strength isn&rsquo;t about being rigid; it&rsquo;s about knowing who you are and showing up consistently.

L&rsquo;O: Every It girl has her signature. What&rsquo;s the one thing you do, wear, or swear by that makes people go, 'Yep, that&rsquo;s so you'?
AHL: I think it&rsquo;s the balance. I&rsquo;ll mix something sporty with something tailored, trainers with structured denim, or a sharp blazer over something minimal. It&rsquo;s confident but not too much. And I never overcomplicate it. If it feels effortless, it&rsquo;s right.
L&rsquo;O: Where&rsquo;s your go-to &ldquo;unwind&rdquo; spot?
AHL: Honestly? Anywhere quiet with good food. I travel so much that I&rsquo;ve learned to find small rituals wherever I am, a local caf&eacute;, a walk in a new city, sometimes just a calm hotel room with music playing and room service.&nbsp;
Unwinding for me isn&rsquo;t about doing nothing; it&rsquo;s about resetting and recharging. Then I&rsquo;m ready to go again.
