Worst dressed at Mexico Grand Prix: The stars who raised eyebrows with their overly casual and questionable outfits

This weekend saw the paddock transformed into a catwalk as numerous stars stepped out to enjoy the Mexico Grand Prix. 

A plethora of F1 WAGs and the likes of Gordon Ramsay gathered in all of their finery to witness 20-year-old Kimi Antonelli become the youngest champion in F1 history as he finished third to take the 2026 World Drivers’ Championships.

He came in behind Lewis Hamilton for Ferrari, while Max Verstappen took home the winning spot at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City on November 1. 

But while some attendees in the paddock put on an overly glamorous display, others noticeably missed the fashion mark by sporting overly casual ensembles or bizarre garments.

Former Australian Olympic cyclist Tiffany Cromwell stood out from the crowd as she opted for a multicoloured patterned two-piece and bright blue handbag on Sunday.

Meanwhile, social media influencer Andy Benavides, known for her high-end collaborations with Gucci, Chanel and Bvlgari, divided onlookers with her race-day styling as she selected a rather eclectic monochrome outfit paired with black boots.

Carola Martinez Galindo also raised eyebrows in her long red ensemble as she arrived at the event on Saturday alongside her husband Sergio Perez of the Cadillac F1 team.

Read on to discover which star-studded attendees selected carefully crafted looks for this year’s event, while others raised eyebrows with their questionable attires… 

Perhaps in an attempt to mitigate the warm temperatures in Mexico, Alicia Torriani – girlfriend of British driver Ollie Bearman – opted for a polka dot maxi dress which she paired with brown sandals and a white clutch bag.

However, onlookers questioned whether the attire was too casual for an event as prestigious as the Grand Prix.

In-keeping with her commitment to embrace casual styles, Alicia also opted for a pair of blue jeans and a Rabanne printed T-shirt that raised eyebrows for its informal and overly relaxed look.

Elsewhere, Gordon Ramsay and his wife Tana were seen enjoying a couple’s weekend away together and were seen strolling hand-in-hand through the paddock. 

Gordon and Tana, who are longtime F1 fans, were seen during the qualifying session on Saturday, with Tana opting for a slightly more relaxed fit that comprised of light brown trousers and a top that may have suffered a crease mishap due to the warm weather.

Ahead of their 30-year anniversary, Tana opted for a more fitted and stylish attire for the race itself the following day – stepping out in a black waistcoat and trousers to match.

However, while some of the other attendees opted for heels, Tana instead kept things more casual with a pair of trainers.

Rebecca Donaldson, who is dating Spanish driver Carlos Sainz, also dressed down for the prestigious sporting event as she arrived in the paddock dressed in an oversized light blue Zoeme shirt, ’90s denim jeans and a baseball cap. 

Other attendees took a rather different approach to the prestigious event’s dress code, with Carmen Montero Mundt, who arrived to support her Formula 1 fiancé George Russell, turning heads with her attire. 

The Spanish businesswoman turned the racing track into a catwalk on Saturday as she opted for a black and white polka dot ensemble from Rixo which she paired with ballet pumps and Jimmy Choo white sunglasses. 

On race day, she selected a burgundy lace dress from Oliver Peoples and black heels as she walked through the paddock in style. 

Her fiancé George was said to have been ‘distraught’ after being let down by Mercedes and skipped Kimi Antonelli’s immediate title celebrations.

Television star Victoria Justice also raised eyebrows with her white halter top and black leather skirt which she paired with sheer tights and knee-high boots.

While the outfit was a marked departure from some of the more glamorous looks showcased over the weekend, Victoria opted for a Ferrari baseball cap in a bid to tie the look together. 

Isabella Bernardini arrived alongside Brazilian racing driver Gabriel Bortoleto of the Audi Revolut F1 Team and opted for a questionable red ensemble on Sunday. 

The fitted and slightly creased off-the-shoulder dress did, however, bring a hint of glamour to the occasion and was distinctly different from the more revealing dress she opted for the day before.

Isabella, the longtime partner of Gabriel, stepped out in a Meshki top and miniskirt combination, which she paired with kitten heels from Mango and a pair of YSL sunglasses.

Leather looks appeared to dominate this weekend, as Carola Martinez Galindo opted for a unique patterned skirt with a leg slit and brown leather boots. Adding a notably more casual element to the outfit, she selected a white quarter-sleeved top.

Meanwhile, CEO of TWG Motorsports Dan Towriss and his wife Cassidy, chief brand adviser for the Cadillac Formula 1 Team, opted for striking displays at the event.

In contrast to the more relaxed attires selected by her fellow attendees, Cassidy commanded the paddock in a green and white lace number which she paired with white heels and a matching handbag. 

The following day, she embraced the seeming red trend with a bold midi dress by Jacquemus, which she paired with Christian Dior’s Lady Dior handbag and Dior’s D-Moi Pumps in White Mesh Polka Dot.

Meanwhile, Lily Muni He, fiancée of Alex Albon, divided onlookers with her outfit selection at the races in Mexico. 

The 27-year-old selected a brown skirt and blouse matching outfit from Kythe, which featured fur cuffs and collaring despite the warmer temperatures in Mexico.

Following the weekend, Lewis Hamilton has declared that Ferrari need ‘serious talks’ behind the scenes after claiming the team had ‘big problems’ following a first lap incident with team-mate Charles Leclerc at the Mexican Grand Prix.

Hamilton had sat on pole in Mexico but battled with Leclerc on the first four corners of Sunday’s Grand Prix.

Leclerc would ultimately seize the lead from Hamilton by running across the grass at turn four, while Hamilton was also passed by Red Bull’s Max Verstappen following his team-mate’s attack.

Leclerc was then hit with a five second penalty for his actions, enabling Verstappen to seize the lead in the Grand Prix.

A furious Hamilton was heard saying ‘We’ve got big problems, big, big problems’ over his team radio during a red-flag period in the race caused by Valtteri Bottas’s crash in his Cadillac.

Hamilton passed Leclerc to claim second following the restart of the race, but ultimately was forced to settle for second place behind Verstappen.

Ferrari boss Fred Vasseur admitted his frustration at how the race had played out for the team, adding he would need to speak to both of his drivers following their comments.

Verstappen’s victory in Mexico saw him move above Hamilton into second place in the drivers’ championship.

Mercedes star Antonelli became Formula One’s youngest world champion on Sunday after finishing third.
