Everyone from supermodel Naomi Campbell and singer Dua Lipa to actors Sofia Vergara and Patrick Dempsey and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and his fiancé Lauren Sánchez were in Monaco for the 2025 Grand Prix between May 22-25. The Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix attracts a glamorous crowd, including billionaires who often arrive in style, utilising luxury transportation.

A post shared by Colin Chester Faas (@colin.faas)
The F1 Monaco Grand Prix is known for its upscale atmosphere and attracts celebrities and influential figures, many of whom are super wealthy. However, a video is doing the rounds of social media showcasing how Port Hercule's superyachts stole the show alongside Formula 1's roaring cars.
Alongside the video he posted on Instagram on May 22, Instagram user Colin Chester Faas wrote, 'Pov (Point of view): how billionaires are gathering for the F1 weekend in Monaco.' His caption read, 'How much (Euro sign) you think is lying here in this bay just outside Monaco? F1 weekend is only about to begin and the billionaires are already gathering in style.'
A comment on his post read, 'The ocean is the best parking spot during F1.' Someone also commented, 'Me not using straws and saving those fuel by driving in economy mode and watching this.' Another comment read, 'And the very same people will preach about climate change.'
A comment also read, 'For billionaires the F stand for Flex in F1.' Someone also joked, 'Meanwhile you can't afford an extra packet of bread and eggs.' Another Instagram user shared a similar video and wrote, 'There will always be someone richer than you in Monaco .'
The video of countless yachts and superyachts in Monaco prove the Grand Prix is not just a race, it's the pinnacle of Riviera glamour. Beyond the race, the F 1 weekend is a social spectacle — think champagne-soaked parties, Michelin-starred pop-ups, and VIP afterparties.
Hosting A-listers, F1 stars, and global tycoons, these floating palaces moored trackside, offering prime views of the iconic street circuit — think Tabac Corner, or the Nouvelle Chicane — while serving as exclusive hubs for the elite. These yachts redefine opulence with helipads, jacuzzis, and gourmet dining by private chefs.

Makeup Mantras with Sunny Leone: Actor says this overhyped product can make you look like a 'crazy disco ball'

From lip gloss that saves the day to aloe vera straight from the backyard, Sunny Leone knows her way around a makeup bag and a skincare disaster! Between running her own cosmetic brand and squeezing in self-care between school runs, the 'Baby doll' and 'Pink lips' star has mastered the art of looking and feeling fabulous on her own terms. Sunny Leone reveals her makeup and skincare secrets.(Instagram) In Makeup Mantras for HT Lifestyle, Sunny Leone shares her no-filter take on makeup must-haves, skin disasters, beauty tips and why one hour to yourself should be non-negotiable. Q. What's one makeup product you never leave the house without? Sunny Leone: One product I never leave the house without would either be lipstick or lip gloss. You can throw a couple of shades on, but glossy lips can make up for everything. Q. What's your secret to making makeup last all day? Sunny Leone: I use Starstruck makeup that was created by myself. It's exciting because I know that my products last and people love them. Q. A makeup mistake you've learned the hard way? Sunny Leone: Understanding what colors suit my skin tone! I think that's one of the biggest mistakes we make. And then you either look chalky on the red carpet or the eyes don't suit you. So, you have to really look into what colours are good for your skin type. Q. What's the weirdest skincare treatment you've ever tried? Sunny Leone: I was in Hong Kong once and I purchased an eye serum that I thought was going to be amazing. It was, I don't know, an animal product... I got home and I had this crazy eye infection. I had to call a doctor and it was very bad. To this day, my husband makes fun of me about it. But yes, since then, I've not used any animal products on my face. Even though it's not funny, it's kind of funny! Q. What's one makeup product you think is totally overhyped? Sunny Leone: One makeup product I think is totally overhyped is highlighters. When we see it being so overused on Instagram, we feel like we need to do it too when we're out on the street or when we're going out to a party. But you can end up looking like a crazy disco ball instead of having fresh, dewy, beautiful skin! So, I think that we should apply highlighter sparingly only in those areas that enhance our makeup, instead of making us look funny. Sunny Leone, who owns a cosmetic brand, believes in making effortless makeup for everyday wear.(Instagram) Q. What are the 5 makeup products you can't do without in your vanity bag? Sunny Leone: Five makeup products I can't do without would be mascara, liner, lip liner, my blush sticks, and also some concealer. Also read: Makeup kits: From lipsticks to mascaras, all your makeup essentials at one place; Our top 8 picks for you Q. What's your non-negotiable skincare ritual before bed? Sunny Leone: Non-negotiable skincare ritual would be to wash my face and put on the night skincare. That is needed whether you're young or you're older. When you're younger, it's all about preventative care, and when you're older it's about maintaining the skin. Q. Any DIY skincare ritual that you follow? Sunny Leone: A DIY skincare ritual would be to buy an aloe vera plant. If you are breaking out, keep it in your backyard or on your patio, your porch or inside the house. And when you're having a crazy breakout or you just want a really nice mask, cut one of those up, smash it up, put it on your face, wash it off, and see the glow. Q. Do you remember who gave you your first beauty tip—and what was it? Sunny Leone: The person who gave me my first beauty tip was a model. I asked her, 'How does your skin look so buttery and so amazing?' So, she just told me it was about routine, it was about sunblock, about sticking to these products that you commit to and that are good for your face, your skin type... that is going to work for just you. Not all skincare lines work for everyone. We have to figure out what works for us and stick with it. Q. How has motherhood reshaped your relationship with beauty, aging, and self-acceptance? Sunny Leone: Motherhood has definitely reshaped some of the things I do. I don't always get time for self-maintenance, so I try and make the time when the kids are at school. It really does take effort to take care of yourself. You have to come to terms with that. Letting go of yourself is definitely not worth it. Maybe at that moment you might feel good, but one month from now, two months from now, you're going to go, 'Oh, I hate my skin or I hate the way I'm looking.' So, you have to make the time. That one hour for yourself is important to take care of yourself. Because when you feel good, you definitely exude that energy to your family, to your husband, to the people around you, your work colleagues. So make sure you take the time. And as long as you're trying your best, that's all that matters. That's how I see my life - if I am trying my best and I'm good, I have to accept who I am, what I am.

'Where's the father?': Fans question Max Verstappen's absence as Kelly Piquet shares Lily's new photo album

Max Verstappen's girlfriend Kelly Piquet with daughters Penelope and Lily (Image credit: Instagram) In the middle of the F1 summer break, Max Verstappen's girlfriend Kelly Piquet shared several beautiful pictures of her daughter Lily, who just turned 100 days old. However, what left fans curious was the absence of the Red Bull driver from the photo album, despite him being at home for several days. The couple welcomed Lily in May, around the Miami Grand Prix. Kelly Piquet shares fresh pictures of Lily but no Max Verstappen As promised a few days ago, Kelly Piquet posted a massive dump of adorable pictures of Lily on Instagram. She covered her baby's face with a heart emoji but included several candid moments. The post began and ended with touching pictures of her feeding Lily, and also featured Lily with her elder daughter Penelope. One photo showed Kelly's brother holding Lily while embracing Penelope. But Verstappen was noticeably absent from the collection. Reactions to Kelly Piquet's new photo album on Instagram Max Verstappen's sister, Victoria Verstappen, reacted to the post with a smiling face with hearts emoji and a heart-hand gesture emoticon. Fans filled the comments with love. One follower wrote, 'Ahhh what a love! Happy birthday Kellyyy, beloved. Lots of health for this beautiful pitoca and even more love for this family.' Another commented, '100+ days of pure cuteness.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Non-Invasive Skin Care: Procedures You Can Do Without Surgery or Downtime AskLayers Learn More Undo A fan added, 'Penelope holding Lily is the cutest thing I've seen today.

'And there are no pictures with Max or what???' wrote one. Another said, 'We want to see Max in dad mode.' One more asked, 'Where's the father at?' Defending Piquet's choice to cover Lily's face, one fan wrote, 'I think it's so cool for Kelly to share such personal photos but still protect the baby's privacy at this young age. You could spare the comments about her covering Lily's face — given who she is, it's also about safety.' Another added bluntly: 'If y'all don't back off... Several comments and I'll come find you. She's just trying to be a mom. Let her be a new mom again, Jesus Christ.' What's keeping Max Verstappen busy this summer While absent from Kelly's photo album, Max Verstappen has been at home during the summer break, spending time with Piquet, Penelope, and Lily.
