Jennifer Lopez dazzles in Jeddah with a Formula 1 performance
Global pop icon Jennifer Lopez made a stunning appearance at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix in Jeddah, stealing the spotlight both on and off the racetrack during one of the most anticipated events on the Formula 1 calendar.
Lopez was in attendance as a VIP guest of Ferrari and was seen touring the team's garage, posing with driver Charles Leclerc, and enjoying a full paddock experience. She also met with Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali during her visit to the Jeddah Corniche Circuit.
According to People magazine, Lopez turned heads in a bold latex pink catsuit paired with silver and pink accessories. She later shared moments from her trip on Instagram with the caption: 'Spreading a little sparkle at Formula 1,' adding a shimmering pink heart emoji. InStyle also featured her glamorous appearance.
On Saturday night, Lopez capped off her visit with a high-energy live performance at the post-race concert — her first concert at a sporting event in over 11 years. The crowd went wild as she delivered hits like On the Floor and Ain't Your Mama, lighting up the stage alongside global artists including Usher, Major Lazer, and Peggy Gou. The show also featured Arab artists such as Marwan Pablo, Hisham Abbas, Mostafa Amar, and Hamid El Shaeri.
Ferrari's Instagram post featuring Lopez garnered more than 279,000 likes — significantly more than their usual posts — highlighting the buzz around her presence.
With over 80 million albums sold and more than $3 billion in global box office revenue, Jennifer Lopez remains the only entertainer to simultaneously top both the U.S. box office and music charts.

Wait... Is That Chris Pratt?!' Actor Stuns Fans with Wild Transformation for New Role
Chris Pratt has fans doing a double take after unveiling a jaw-dropping new look for his latest role. The 45-year-old actor appeared nearly unrecognizable in a recent Instagram video, sporting long curly hair and a thick, rugged beard as he stepped into character for the upcoming season of The Terminal List. With the caption, 'Is it? No… can't be,' Pratt playfully acknowledged the shock his new appearance sparked. Filming for the new season is underway, and Pratt took a moment to spotlight the behind-the-scenes artistry. 'Isn't this hair and makeup incredible?' he said, praising his team. 'My team does such an awesome job.' He teased intense scenes ahead while showing blood-covered hands, hinting at the gritty action fans can expect. 'I don't want to tell you what I've been up to...' he said, keeping plot details under wraps. The actor also shared a lighthearted moment about the less glamorous side of working with prosthetics. 'This mustache's hair is like a wig – it's a fake beard. It looks freaking incredible,' he said. 'But the crazy thing about wearing a fake mustache or a fake beard is when you eat, you get hair in your mouth… and you don't know whose hair it is. I mean, what if it's... pubes?' With a laugh and a shrug, Pratt ended the clip with, 'No. Anyways. I don't care. I'm hungry.' The transformation is part of his return as Navy SEAL James Reece in The Terminal List: True Believer, the continuation of the action-packed series based on Jack Carr's novels. Whether it's fake facial hair or real commitment to the role, Pratt's transformation is getting everyone talking — and viewers can't wait to see what's coming next.

Making an impression
Women in Bahrain are embracing this season's colours, fabrics, prints and silhouettes, with some global fashion trends even inspiring traditional outfits and modest wear, observes Maliha Obaid. She spoke to experts on the topic and has listed creative ideas for your wardrobe, coinciding with the festive weekend. Seasonal hues Pastels are dominating the runways this season, with light colours like butter yellow, powdery pink and pistachio green being some of the popular hues. Abayas in pastel shades are also increasingly popular among Arab women and can be paired with a white hijab. 'Light yellow has been trendy since last season but it wasn't until recently that people have adopted the colour,' said Bahraini freelance costume designer Fatima AlBastaki, who has almost a decade of experience in styling Arab celebrities. Fine print and fabric Floral designs and polka dots are recurring styles on the Spring-Summer 2025 runways, and are versatile too. 'Although I am not a pattern girl, the current trends and my love for blooms are making me lean into floral prints, especially the ones with a pop of colour,' said 22-year-old Bahraini fashion designer and entrepreneur Fatima Alturabi, who has had a penchant for fashion from a young age. According to a report in Marie Claire, 'scarf prints' including intricate floral patterns and paisley motifs, typically found on scarves and embodying the 'dolce vita' spirit, are also popular this season. AlBastaki noted that patterns like dantel (embroidered lace) are very common now while others like polka dots are making a comeback. Skirts for days Pleated skirts or 'the school skirt' and flouncy designs are among the popular global trends this summer, which can be adapted to suit the local sensitivities with full-length pieces. 'Skirts can be worn on occasions and can also be dressed down into a more casual outfit,' Alturabi, who likes to tailor her clothes herself, explained. 'I think silk skirts are nice but I don't recommend silk tops to avoid a possible transparent shape. Pieces like button-ups are a modest fashion staple and can be styled in many ways – they work well with long skirts,' she explained,. AlBasktaki added that her favourite piece to style with a long skirt is a blazer. 'No matter what you wear, you can always style it to suit the modest aesthetic,' she highlighted. Dress to impress British Vogue says that 'nightie dresses', commonly designed with cotton poplin and silk, is 'this summer's answer to a throw-on dress' and we, at GulfWeekly couldn't agree more; it's reminiscent of the sun dress – a seasonal staple – or lacy Bohemian dresses that are turning heads on the runways. 'Maxi dresses have always been a go-to here in Bahrain. They just work with our weather and the way we dress and you can style them up or down. 'Women in the kingdom are more into simple styles and fabrics that feel light and breathable. I think it's all part of that shift towards effortless fashion pieces that still look elegant,' Alturabi noted.
