Formula 1, known for its fusion of speed, technology, and luxury, has always been a magnet for celebrity attendance. Over the years, several influential female personalities have graced various Grand Prix circuits across the globe, their appearances reinforcing the sport’s appeal beyond traditional fanbases.
International pop icon Rihanna made a stylish appearance at the Las Vegas Strip Circuit for the F1 Grand Prix in November 2023, where she sported a chic all-black ensemble alongside her partner, A$AP Rocky. Rihanna’s attendance was hard to miss, as the couple added a dose of star power to the already electrifying atmosphere of race day.
Rewinding to 2015, supermodel Gigi Hadid was seen at the Monaco Formula One Grand Prix with none other than celebrity friends Kendal Jenner and sister Bella Hadid.

Even the world of pop music has found its voice within the Formula 1 setting, as demonstrated in 2012 when Katy Perry attended the Formula 1 Singtel Singapore Grand Prix. There, she not only witnessed the competitive racing but also delivered a thrilling performance of her hit songs, adding musical vibrancy to the event.
