Monaco’s annual Formula 1 weekend once again proved why it remains the sport’s most glamorous stop. As Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli claimed a commanding victory around the streets of Monte Carlo, extending his championship lead after a chaotic race filled with retirements and late-race drama, another spectacle unfolded away from the circuit.
Kimi Antonelli
From superyachts lining Port Hercules to packed terraces overlooking the harbour, Monte Carlo drew its usual mix of Hollywood stars, fashion figures and social media personalities. Much of the celebrity activity centred around the iconic Fairmont Monte Carlo, whose famous hairpin corner remains one of Formula 1’s most recognisable landmarks and a preferred base for VIP guests during race week.
Kim Kardashian and Khloé Kardashian
Kim Kardashian spent much of the weekend supporting boyfriend and Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton, arriving in several outfit changes that reflected the increasingly fashion-conscious nature of the paddock.
On race day, Kardashian opted for a cream bodycon gown featuring an asymmetrical neckline, draped detailing and an open back. For her F1 debut, rather than leaning fully into eveningwear territory, she paired the dress with futuristic purple shield sunglasses and black pointed pumps, creating a look that sat somewhere between resort glamour and motorsport spectacle.
Alongside her, Khloé Kardashian wore a similarly toned satin midi dress with lace trim, corsetry-inspired construction and delicate straps. The sisters appeared deliberately coordinated, reflecting a broader trend among celebrity guests at Formula 1 events, where visual impact often matters as much as practicality.
Earlier in the weekend, Kim adopted a more relaxed approach with faded oversized denim, a sheer lace vest and pointed heels, demonstrating the paddock’s increasingly casual luxury dress code.
Lewis Hamilton
Few drivers treat the paddock as an extension of the runway quite like Hamilton. The Ferrari driver arrived in one of the weekend’s most discussed looks: an oversized pastel pink suit paired with a sweeping purple overcoat worn cape-style over the shoulders.
The relaxed tailoring, wide-leg trousers and layered silver jewellery reflected contemporary luxury menswear’s continued shift towards volume and softer silhouettes. Black leather boots grounded the otherwise colourful ensemble, while tinted oval sunglasses completed the look.
In Monaco, where fashion brands now compete for attention alongside racing teams, Hamilton’s appearance reinforced his status as Formula 1’s most visible fashion ambassador.
Cynthia Erivo
Cynthia Erivo brought a casual approach to the paddock, for a change. Known for embracing sculptural silhouettes and dramatic styling, she arrived in a denim jacket, printed tee and maroon leather pants.
Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas
Among the more traditional celebrity attendees were Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas. The pair embraced classic Riviera elegance, opting for polished resort dressing rather than headline-grabbing fashion statements.
In a weekend dominated by bold silhouettes and luxury branding, their understated approach felt distinctly Monte Carlo as they snuck an undercover date of sorts.
Alexandra Leclerc
While much attention focused on celebrity arrivals, Alexandra Leclerc also attracted notice in the paddock. Supporting hometown favourite Charles Leclerc, she wore an off-the-shoulder red-and-white polka-dot dress that subtly referenced Monaco’s national colours.
Paired with a structured Roger Vivier accessory, the look leaned into classic European summer dressing rather than contemporary trend cycles.
Tommy Hilfiger and Dee Ocleppo Hilfiger
Fashion industry representation came via Tommy Hilfiger and Dee Ocleppo Hilfiger. Their appearance served as another reminder of Formula 1’s deepening ties with luxury fashion, as brands continue to invest heavily in motorsport partnerships and paddock visibility.
While Antonelli’s victory provided the sporting headline, Monaco once again demonstrated that Formula 1’s most famous race is as much about image as it is about lap times. Between harbour-side parties, yacht gatherings, luxury hospitality suites and celebrity arrivals, the Grand Prix remains a rare event where motorsport, fashion and entertainment converge in the same space.
