Beyoncé created one of the standout moments of the 2025 Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix after joining seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton for a high-speed hot lap around the Strip Circuit.

The music icon arrived with her husband Jay-Z in coordinated race-inspired outfits and was personally greeted by F1 President and CEO Stefano Domenicali before stepping into Hamilton’s passenger seat for the lap.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Beyoncé styled a custom-made Louis Vuitton look comprising a red, white and black leather suit with a gold crystal LVM logo. She complemented the outfit with black aviator-style sunglasses, red gloves and black boots.

Jay Z kept it minimal in an all-black outfit, consisting of a plain dark shirt, wide-leg pants, a leather bomber jacket and black sunglasses.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Fans reacted instantly across social platforms, describing the pairing with comments such as “The Greatest in their respective fields, respectively”, “The king and the queen”, and “Legends meeting legends”.

Many supporters also called for full video footage of the lap, hoping to see the complete run shared by F1 or Hamilton’s team.

The Vegas paddock also hosted Travis Scott, Ben Affleck, Brooks Nader, Cynthia Erivo and other well-known figures from music, sports and entertainment.
