Beyoncé surprised fans with an unexpected appearance at the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix on Sunday, November 23, arriving alongside her husband Jay-Z at the paddock before the race.
The singer from Houston was photographed in a striking custom Louis Vuitton jumpsuit, zipped up to the neckline, confidently walking through the paddock as F1’s official accounts celebrated her presence.
Beyoncé later shared a behind-the-scenes look on Instagram, showing herself taking the passenger seat of a Ferrari for a high-speed hot lap with Lewis Hamilton. The post was captioned simply: “Give it to Mama.”

The celebrity appearance quickly became one of the most talked-about moments of the weekend, highlighting the Las Vegas Grand Prix’s growing reputation as a star-studded, entertainment-driven stop on the F1 calendar. Hamilton, who has long been a bridge between F1, music, and fashion, was seen talking with Beyoncé and Jay-Z on the grid — marking a rare reunion since their first meeting at a 2009 Grand Prix.
Jay-Z, dressed in a sleek black outfit, accompanied Beyoncé as they walked through the paddock toward the garages and hospitality areas.
Their presence added to the glamorous atmosphere of the event, which has rapidly evolved since its 2023 debut into a weekend that blends top-tier racing with celebrity culture. Other stars spotted included Travis Scott, Cynthia Erivo, Magic Johnson, Brooks Nader, Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Gordon Ramsay, Ciara, and Ben Affleck, showing that the Las Vegas and Miami Grands Prix are now as much about entertainment and music as they are about motorsport.
