Melbourne’s Grand Prix Paddock Was A Playground For The A-List 

It’s Melbourne Grand Prix week, which is essentially Formula One Christmas for Australian fans of the sport. 

The success of Netflix series, Drive To Survive, has catapulted the sport to the forefront of the cultural zeitgeist, accelerating and elevating its popularity among the style and celebrity sets just as much as fans. 

From the recent partnership with Louis Vuitton to the trackside fashion donned by Hollywood’s biggest names, Formula One is fast becoming the world’s most stylish sport.

As the 2025 season kicks off in Victoria with the Melbourne Grand Prix, all eyes are on the event not just for the race but to scout any big name stars and devour the new era of F1 fashion. 

Overseas, we frequently see the sport attract appearances from the likes of Jacob Elordi and Simone Ashley to Emily Ratajkowski and Adele. Will Melbourne garner such an elite audience? We will have to wait and watch over the GP weekend.

Over the weekend, we were gifted with glorious footage of Charles Leclerc chatting to Australian heartthrob Josh Heuston sending both F1 and Fourth Wing fans  (IYKYK) into a tailspin. 

We also saw pre-race events like Glamour On The Grid and sponsor dinners featuring this season’s drivers garner an impressive crowd of influencers and local stars. The White Lotus’ Alexandra Daddario, Ginny & Georgia star Felix Mallard and even Channing Tatum were just a few big names spotted trackside.

See the best moments below.
