MISSFORTYSIX: the feminine side of racing according to Francesca Sofia Novello

With MISSFORTYSIX, VR46 Racing Apparel launches its first-ever women’s capsule collection. A bold step that brings the racing identity of the brand into a new space: inclusive, fashion-forward, and unapologetically contemporary. Francesca Sofia Novello, lifestyle icon and Valentino Rossi’s partner, blends her sharp fashion vision with the racing DNA of the brand, crafting a collection for women, fans, and motorsport lovers who express  themselves through urban streetwear. Oversized fits, street-inspired details, and bold graphics come together in a wardrobe that speaks of speed, style, and freedom.

From the paddock to the city, no gear shift needed

MISSFORTYSIX is made for women who feel the roar of the engine even while walking down city streets. For those who see fashion as an open track to express personality, attitude, and a little edge.
Francesca Sofia Novello, who has always lived between runways and racetracks, finally brings her feminine lens into a world that, until now, was mostly male-dominated.

“I felt something was missing – a VR46 line for women that would combine Vale’s passion with a more fashion-forward cut. Something I would actually wear.” - said Francesca - “That’s how MISSFORTYSIX was born.”

The collection: oversized with attitude

This capsule strikes the perfect balance between femininity and edge: cropped t-shirts with a garage vibe, oversized sweatshirts straight out of Vale’s pit box, and bucket hats that say it all. Every piece is made with premium materials, detailed craftsmanship, and a bold, lifestyle-inspired palette. The mood? MISSFORTYSIX doesn’t follow trends — it sets them. The collection is designed for women who don’t want to choose between comfort and style: think biker shorts, relaxed pants, and deconstructed tops, all cut to enhance every curve. And of course, there’s the iconic number 46 — not just Valentino Rossi’s trademark, but a symbol of a lifestyle built on passion, authenticity, and fun.
