Kim Kardashian turned up at the Monaco Grand Prix on June 6 and did more than watch from the sidelines. She made her first paddock appearance at the event, wearing a black lace bodysuit, figure-hugging jeans and black kitten heels while she cheered for Lewis Hamilton during qualifying.
The appearance put Lewis Hamilton and Kim Kardashian in the same public frame at one of Formula 1’s biggest weekends, exactly when people were already watching for signs of how far the pair would take a relationship that has been kept mostly private. Kardashian’s June 1 social media photo dump, captioned “lately,” had already fueled talk that she was willing to be more open about the connection, and Hamilton was one of the figures featured in the post.
Khloe Kardashian joined her sister in Monaco, dressed in a V-neck tank top, capris and flip flops, as the family took in qualifying ahead of the June 7 race. Hamilton finished third in the session, giving Kardashian a front-row view of a strong result for the seven-time Formula 1 champion she came to support.
Kardashian’s presence carried extra weight because the public outing came after months in which the pair had guarded the relationship carefully. They first sparked romance rumors in January, and Kardashian had already called herself “the biggest hopeless romantic” in a November episode of The Kardashians, saying she would be ready when the right person came along. By Monaco, she was not just cheering from a distance; she was in the paddock, beside the sport and beside him.
That still leaves the same question hanging over the couple, only sharper now that the cameras have caught them at one of the sport’s marquee stops: whether this was a one-off public show of support or the start of more appearances together as Hamilton moves toward the June 7 race and beyond.
