Jimmy Fallon looked cool in sunglasses as he made his way through the paddock, charming fans who stopped him for photos. Alix Earle served race-ready glamour in a blue matching set that had spies swooning. The celebrities are simply here to enjoy world-class racing and support their favorite teams — pure enthusiasm for the sport.
Sources note that Kim Kardashian was seemingly absent from the excitement, despite her boyfriend Lewis Hamilton being present. One insider wondered aloud if there's tension in the relationship after she skipped his big Miami race weekend. Meanwhile, Alix Earle ran into ex Braxton Berrios at Kevin Hart's party — and witnesses say it was a 'friendly reunion,' which has tongues wagging given their messy split.
The Formula 1 Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix took place Sunday, May 3, 2026, at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. At Carbone Beach night 2 on Thursday, Snoop Dogg performed an hour-long set while Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner were in attendance. Night 1 featured Ludacris with surprise guests Fat Joe, Wycleaf Jean, and DJ Khaled.
Whether Kim Kardashian's no-show was intentional or coincidental remains unclear — but in celebrity circles, absence speaks louder than presence. Meanwhile, the pre-race parties delivered all the drama money can buy.
The gloomy weather didn't stop A-listers from storming the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida on Sunday — but one familiar face was notably absent from the star-studded paddock. Jimmy Fallon drew plenty of attention as he navigated the grounds in sunglasses, with multiple fans stopping him for photos throughout the day. The Tonight Show host looked relaxed and approachable as he mingled among race teams and fellow celebrities.
Meanwhile, Alix Earle turned heads strutting past the garages in blue capris and a matching top — one spy told observers she "looked race ready" and noted that she stopped into the Cadillac team's garage for a visit. The paddock played host to an impressive roster of non-athletic superstars. DJ Khaled rolled through surrounded by his signature entourage, eventually cooling off at the Navi Coffee & Flowers station as Miami temperatures climbed.
Tennis legend Rafael Nadal was spotted deep in conversation with team members inside the Aston Martin garage, while soccer icon Lionel Messi hung out with representatives from the Mercedes squad. Miami hospitality mogul David Grutman arrived hand-in-hand with wife Isabelle, and Lewis Hamilton made his way through the paddock wearing a hood — seemingly attempting to keep a low profile. That effort at anonymity stood in stark contrast to the glitz surrounding him, especially given that his girlfriend Kim Kardashian appeared to be absent from the festivities entirely.
The celebrity spectacle extended well beyond race day. In the days leading up to Sunday's Grand Prix, A-listers descended on Miami for exclusive parties that would make most award shows jealous. Night 2 of Carbone Beach on Thursday saw Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner in attendance while Snoop Dogg delivered an hour-long set before heading to E11even for additional performances.
The previous evening, Hailey Bieber, Bethenny Frankel, Jamie Foxx, Earle, and others danced the night away at Carbone Beach's first installment — where Ludacris performed with surprise guests Fat Joe, Wycleaf Jean, and DJ Khaled. Perhaps most intriguing from a celebrity gossip standpoint: At Kevin Hart's Sports Illustrated x Authentic Brands Group soirée at The Surf Club Restaurant on Thursday, Earle and former NFL player Braxton Berrios experienced what sources described as a "friendly reunion" — notable given their past relationship drama.
More star-studded events around Miami are expected to continue following Sunday night's Grand Prix, ensuring the drama extends well beyond the track. Meanwhile, various luxury activations popped up throughout the venue — including the MCS Yacht Club featuring catering by Bagatelle and Red Bull's Energy Station positioned in the Beach Zone — giving celebrities plenty of reasons to extend their stays long after checkered flags flew.
