Kim Kardashian appeared in Lewis Hamilton’s photo dump from the star-studded Monaco Grand Prix weekend attended by a host of celebrities and sporting icons.
Kim looked glamorous as ever, and many were quick to point out that it was the first time Lewis had shared a photo featuring Kim on his social media.
In the snap, Kim was seen holding Lewis’ racing helmet.
The reality star opted for a daring black sheer top, adding to the glamour of the Monaco Grand Prix weekend.
The stylish photo immediately caught fans’ attention.
One commented: “Great pics Lewis and a fab weekend well done ❤️ And welcome to the family Kim kardashian ❤️”
Another added: “In his boyfriend era”.
A third penned: “YES!!!!!! Kim on the grid!”
A fourth said: “Omgggggg kimmmmmm😍”
A fifth wrote: “Omg Kim !! U guys are so cute”.

Kim made her F1 trackside debut to support her Ferrari driver boyfriend.
She arrived with her sister Khloe Kardashian as well as a huge entourage.
Kim wore a stunning cream one-shoulder maxi dress, while Khloe opted for a satin plunge midi dress also in cream.
Kim watched the race and Lewis narrowly miss out on winning.
Kimi Antonelli became the youngest winner at 19 years old.
Despite the loss, Lewis appeared in high spirits as he blew Kim a kiss and sprayed her with champagne as he celebrated on the podium.

Kim and Lewis have been friends for over a decade.
They were first spotted getting cosy on New Year’s Eve in Aspen.
They went public with their romance at the Super Bowl in February.
Just last week, they took a huge step in their relationship as he was seen with her four children for the first time.
A source previously said that the couple have an “intense” relationship and Kardashian’s family absolutely “adores” him.
IT was meant to be the Lewis Hamilton show as the F1 veteran celebrated after a record-equalling eighth podium finish at the glitzy Monaco Grand Prix.
But girlfriend Kim Kardashian, in a figure-hugging, backless Gucci cream dress, put that all in a spin as it was her bolshy disregard for trackside etiquette that made headlines.

After seven-time world champ Lewis, 41, had rung back the years to claim a surprise second-place finish, Kim then turned spoilsport as she ducked under a brolly to avoid being splashed with celebratory champagne.
Oh, and she whipped the towel laid out for the race winner, Italian teen Kimi Antonelli, to dry himself with.
Our source trackside said: “Kim’s behaviour might pass in LA but the Europeans see it differently. The day should have been about the drivers, but it became the Kim K circus.
“People were watching in horror as she failed to embrace any of the F1 traditions. Snubbing Martin Brundle is one thing, but hiding from the champagne spray with an umbrella was a step too far for many — and the fact she just pushed Holly and Michael McIntyre out of the way was mind-blowing.
“Some of the other Wags were horrified and Alexandra Leclerc, the wife of Lewis’s Ferrari teammate Charles, was clearly unimpressed by her new trackside companion.
“Kim’s body language towards her as they watched the race was verging on rude. It was very uncomfortable to see.”
The Sun revealed earlier this year how Kim and Lewis had begun dating — but last weekend was the first time she has turned up to watch him race, joined by sister Khloe, 41.
Her dress was also a talking point because last month it was announced Gucci had become the first luxury fashion house to partner with an F1 team — launching Gucci Racing Alpine.
Our insider said: “The timing of Kim wearing Gucci can’t have been a coincidence. In fact she’s been wearing the brand a lot since she started dating Lewis.”
But as the Kardashian circus rolled into town, everyone and their VIP card was expected to make way, including former This Morning presenter Holly and TV funnyman Michael.
The moment was caught on film — with Holly and Michael left gobsmacked as their interview was disrupted and shouts of “mind out!” could be heard ringing out while Kim’s minders stormed past with her hidden away in their midst.
Michael could, at least, see the funny side as he reacted in his signature excitable tone, quipping: “It’s the Kardashians . . . I’m joining them!”

He also could not resist a cheeky reference to Kim’s famously mighty toosh — joking: “My back’s gone! I think something belonging to Kim, I’m not mentioning anything, may have struck me in my lower back area, and I’ve got to tell you that it hurt.”
But others were far from amused by the unwelcome Kardashian chaos.
Another source said: “Some of the other Wags thought Kim totally took over Monaco. It’s like the circus came to town — even the F1 Instagram account was posting about her. Many of the drivers’ wives and girlfriends are influencers, and races are their opportunity to shine. But all anyone spoke about was Kim.”
Race-goers also noted that after Kim barged her way into centre stage, no one was talking to her, as she was moved swiftly from one place to another by her huge team.
The Hollywood hoopla was in full swing but Kim had clearly failed to do her homework on paddock and grid dos and don’ts, and she had those in the sport’s inner circle blowing gaskets left, right and centre.
Cocking a snook at veteran Sky Sports interviewer and former F1 driver Martin Brundle got her off to the worst possible start before the race had begun.
In clips that have since gone viral, the Kardashians star can be seen briefly waving at 67-year-old Martin before then stone-cold blanking the ex-Benetton driver of Eighties and Nineties race fame.
When it came to the uncorking of champagne after the race, Kim went down about as well as a flat tyre as she recoiled in horror at the prospect of champagne spray detracting from her queen bee look.

To add insult to injury, she then grabbed the towel traditionally set out for the race winner and used it to wipe down her sunglasses before walking off with it.
A fan watching aghast as these antics unfolded, blasted: “What is Kim Kardashian doing on the F1 grid? She is making the moment all about her — it is one of the most bizarre things I have ever seen. Ban celebrities from the grid.”
Another equally revved-up onlooker demanded: “Can we please ban these disrespectful ingrates like Kim Kardashian from F1? If you won’t show the people who make the sport what it is the respect they deserve, then you have no place in our world.”
Liv Blankson, a creator of online content for Formula 1, who has been following the sport since childhood and is a huge fan of Lewis Hamilton, was also baffled by Kim’s carrying on.
She told us: “There is an F1 etiquette and when someone takes a step wrong, it’s very obvious. I have no issue with her being there, but do worry that she will overshadow the racing, which is what us fans are actually there for.
“If you’re on the grid just before the race, you have to expect to be spoken to, it’s just what happens.
“You have to be prepared. The fact she didn’t talk to Martin could be seen as disrespectful. He was a well-known racing driver and I hate it when he gets blanked.
“That was my main gripe with Kim being there. If you are going to be there, then please do some research. Celebrity culture in F1 is getting bigger and will grow even more now that Kim is on the scene, but us fans like it when they make the effort to get to know racing, the drivers, the teams and all the people that make it happen.
“Lewis just seems happy and relaxed and he did well, so maybe she is good luck.
“We’ll have to wait and see.”

Indeed, Lewis certainly seemed oblivious to the drama around his biggest and brashest new fan.
On the contrary, he even blew her a kiss from the podium as he gushed: “It’s amazing to have good people around you and good people supporting you.
“She does that for me every day. With my friends, incredible turnout just overall with people. I don’t really know what else to say.”
Thanking Kim again, he added: “It’s amazing to have her come this weekend and have the support.” A source said of the pair’s romance,
“They are in a serious, committed relationship” — and this latest public display of affection only sends the story into turbo-drive.
Lewis failed to take the winner’s spoils on race day as 19-year-old Mercedes wonderkid Antonelli, who replaced him on that team last year, beat him to the chequered flag and became the youngest ever winner of the Monaco Grand Prix.
But it was still a fine day for Lewis who matched the late, great Brazilian Ayrton Senna for Monaco podium finishes.
He moved up into second in this season’s drivers’ championship, leapfrogging his old Mercedes teammate George Russell and showing he has plenty left in the tank after a difficult season.
There have been rumblings that Lewis, now one of the oldest on the F1 circuit, may soon be on the home straight of his superstar career — but more results like the one this weekend will likely put such talk on hold.
And Kim may yet prove an asset.
Our insider said: “Lewis and Kim have the potential to be the next Posh and Becks of the racing world.
“Kim is a career mastermind and will no doubt be laying the groundwork.”
Next weekend, Lewis competes in the Spanish Grand Prix — but will Kim be along for the ride? Or consigned to the pits?
It is certainly too early to declare her his lucky charm, despite the weekend’s podium finish — but she sure knows how to command pole position.

He followed them, leaving Holly behind. But then he returned, joking that he sustained an injury, saying: “We’ve got a live update. I’ve just been hit by like a wave.
“You know when you’re on holiday and a wave hits you and it’s like “that’s actually quite dangerous”. We’ve been Kardashian waved.”
Holly added: “That was ridiculous.”
Michael added: “My back’s gone. I think something belonging to Kim, I’m not mentioning anything, may have struck me in my lower back earlier. And I gotta tell you, it hurt!”

Kim, who was married to Kanye West, 48, from 2014 to 2022, said last October she could not imagine herself dating another famous man.
She told a podcast that the person “would have to be someone super- special” for her to start another relationship.
Kim explained: “I don’t know if I have the energy or whether I’ve met the right person that I would want to blend my family with.”
On whether she might date another musician or athlete, she added: “Neither. We’re going, like, lawyers and longevity scientists who would give me all their secrets.”
After splitting from Kanye, she dated comedian Pete Davidson and then NFL player Odell Beckham Jr until things fizzled out in April 2024.
While Lewis has not had a serious relationship since he split from Pussycat Dolls singerNicole Scherzingerin 2015 after almost eight years.
KIM Kardashian is flogging her rare designer clobber on her fashion website — but you’ll need a 19-inch waist to wear it.
The reality star, 45, is selling items from her Disney+ series All’s Fair, including a 1995 John Galliano top and jacket for £43,000, and a £1,265 Thierry Mugler suit.

Kim has cinched her 24-26in waist to 19ins for red carpet events such as Met Galas.
And with her reported 43-inch bum many clothes are specially tailored for her shape.
Most items from her All’s Fair wardrobe are marked with a warning to buyers, with one assistant writing next to the Mugler suit: “Pants were altered to fit Kim’s body.”
A dress by the late French designer was also adjusted for the superstar.
The John Galliano skirt was tweaked to fit her shapely derrière, along with a £1,300 three-piece suit from Patou.
A Christian Dior silk coat was also tailored to fit Kim’s waist — going from a UK size 18 to size six.
Kim’s family have been using the “Kardashian Kloset” website to flog used clothes since 2019.
It’s unknown if money from sales go into the family’s pockets or to charity.

Kim keeps every outfit she’s worn in storage — including her Met Gala designs and even the bridesmaids dress she wore to sister Khloe’s wedding to Lamar Odom in 2009.
She said of her archive: “This is its own time capsule.
“I have every look, every dress, every event.
“I love it, it’s like going down memory lane.”

She is not the only one turning heartbreak into a big-brand deal.
From multi-million-pound ads to career switches designed to overshadow an ex, the new rule of uncoupling is success.
Celebrity publicist Emma Bunning says: “We’re seeing stars turn break-ups into business opportunities, launching new ventures, signing major partnerships and embarking on career blitzes just as their personal lives hit the headlines.
“It’s savvy PR because it shifts the narrative from heartbreak to success.”
The presenter’s deal with the sexy-yet-sophisticated brand is bound to bolster her bank balance even further.
Her career move comes hot on the heels of fronting the new Love Island series, which kicked off last night, and her upcoming gig on Celebrity Traitors – together bolstering her net worth of £2million.

Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton’s relationship appear to be the real dealCredit: BackGridBody language expert Judi James said the couple are showing ‘genuine displays of intimacy’Credit: BackGridKim appears to be taking the lead in the relationship, according to Judi JamesCredit: BackGrid
TheSkimsfounderlooked in her element as she enjoyed a surf lesson with her beau.
TV personality Kim showed off her incredible figure in a skintight wetsuit and a black bikini top.
The F1 star wore a pair of black shorts and a matching T-shirt.
They were seen all over each other as they struggled to keep their hands off one another.
Judi has now revealed that the beach snaps illustrate just how much this famous couple are compatible, despite fears that they were a showmance.
Even though it’s early days, Judi believes that their is already a strong level of trust between the pair.
She exclusively told The Sun: “They might have been seen on a couple of chaste-looking dates where Lewis’s body language primarily spelled out ‘gentleman’ but these photos and the video look like the hard launch of a more tactile, sexual and romantic relationship between Kim and Lewis.
“Kim’s leading the plunge here, swimming ahead of Lewis as he seems to be struggling to catch up with her and touch her.
“When they are together in the ocean there are signs of an uninhibited and playful, mutually clinging relationship with Kim encircling Lewis with her arms and throwing her head back with an open-mouth laugh of sheer pleasure, with her relaxed neck-baring a sign of strong levels of trust in the relationship.”
The expert insisted that Kim appears to be in charge of the relationship but also seem to be rather like-minded and on the same page.
“Kim does look like the leader in the body language stages here, at one point she stands with her feet slightly splayed and her back arched as she performs a preening, confident pit-bare gesture as she squeezes the water out of her hair,” Judi shared.
“Lewis’s response is reciprocal as he shows his admiration by placing one hand out and onto the upper part of her bum.
“During a playful-looking moment Kim turns her torso in towards his, pressing it against his torso in an intimate pose as she places one hand on his waist and here he responds with one hand curved right around the shape of her bum.

“Kim and Lewis have dressed in coordinating swimwear here to signal they are a couple and their mirrored movements and poses at some points suggest a like-minded relationship too.”
Kim and Lewis packed on the PDA and were seen strolling along the beach and were pictured smiling and laughing together.
The lovebirds were then seen splashing about in the sea and were spotted with their arms wrapped around one another.
They appeared to be the real deal as they kept eye contact and smooched while riding the waves in the sea.
They were also seen showing off their surf skills during the sporty outing, with Kim jumping on top of the board, while Lewis kept an eye on her.
They seemed comfortable in each other’s presence as they clung to each other and rode the waves.
Last week, Kim sparked Kim rumours that she is moving in with Lewis as they went rug shopping in LA.
Lewis attempted to go incognito with black sunglasses and a baseball cap.
The two were seen heading back into a vehicle as they made their way home after the shopping trip.
Just last week, Kim made an 11,000-mile round-trip to spend 24 hours in London with Lewis.
She flew to the UK on her private jet to see her man in a bid to keep their long-distance romance alive.
She left Los Angeles last Monday and landed at Farnborough, Hants, at 4pm on the Tuesday before being chauffeured on a 90-minute journey to Lewis’s £18million home in Kensington, West London.
The couple stayed holed-up in his six-bedroom mansion while their security teams kept guard.
She then left on Wednesday afternoon, taking off from Oxford at 5.30pm to return to the US.
A source said: “Lewis and Kim are two of the busiest people in showbiz, but they are determined to do everything to see each other when they have any spare time.
“Kim spent Easter weekend with her family and then had a photoshoot in Los Angeles on Monday morning, then flew across the Atlantic to see Lewis.
“They didn’t have long together because she had commitments in the US to get back to, but it was quality time.”
Kim’s romance with Lewis became public knowledge after The Sun revealed she flew in from Los Angeles on her £100million private jet to spend an evening with him.
On January 31, the couple enjoyed a brief stay at the exclusive Estelle Manor in the Cotswolds, with insiders saying they had the spa to themselves, before enjoying a meal in a private room.
Proving they’re the real deal, the sports star recently met Kim’s children while they were out in Tokyo ahead of the Japanese Grand Prix.
The couple were joined by three of her children -Saint, 10, Chicago, nine, and six-year-old Psalm – while they were on spring break.
“It’s more than just a casual connection. It takes a lot to capture Kim’s interest and she’s definitely intrigued,” an insider told People.
“He’s just an easygoing guy with great energy.
“Her family likes him and Kim’s very into him. They are both busy with their careers, but see each other as much as possible.”

THE Cotswolds are a sought out holiday spot for lots of celebrities – with even the likes of Kourtney Kardashian visiting.
One of the most beautiful is Bourton-on-the-Water, considered the ‘Venice of the Cotswolds’ thanks to its riverside restaurants and little stone bridges across the water.

With it being one of the prettiest villages in the UK, it’s no wonder that celebs like Kourtney Kardashian are drawn to it.
The TV personality known for Keeping Up With the Kardashians revealed her stay on social media.
Posting pictures of a three-bedroom cottage, she said: “Dreamy storybook fairytale enchantment.”
Called Stepping Stones, the cottage has now undergone a £50,000 makeover – as part of a £100,000 refurbishment project of properties owned by Cotswold Cottages.
Stepping Stones sits right next to the River Windrush which flows through the village.
The three bedrooms sleep five with a private patio where guests can enjoy dinners outside.
Inside, there’s a modern kitchen, cosy lounge area with a fireplace, and bedrooms with new furnishings.
Cotswold Cottages announced that work on Stepping Stones was completed this week.
It was part of a wider project, of which the first stage focused on the four neighbouring one-bedroom cottages; Kestrel, Robin, Swallow and Skylark Cottage.
These were completely overhauled with new kitchens and bathrooms along with new furniture as well.

The Alan looks extremely grand, being built into a beautiful Grade II listed building. Spread across six floors, with 137 rooms, each one looks like a fancy design magazine. From the concrete coffee tables to the pink plastered walls, the industrial-inspired designs perfectly replicate the history of the city.
This historic hotel has welcomed the likes of Charles Dickens and Lillie Langtry through its doors. Rooms have richly-patterned carpets with super soft bed linen and premium toiletries in the bathroom. Go for a superior room for extra goodies including bathrobes and snack boxes.
This Cambridge hotel is in the ideal spot, within walking distance to bars, shops and hotspots like the university colleges and Parker’s Piece. The inside couldn’t be prettier, with huge stained glass windows, grand chandeliers, and rooms with enormous clawfoot bath tubs.
Bourton-on-the-Water has lots of spots that draws in celebrity visitors, like its perfumery which was established in 1966.
It’s set inside a 300-year-old building and is known for creating bespoke scents – even the late Queen Elizabeth II was a former client.
It also operates a one-day perfume-making course which starts from £325.
The village has a Model Village too which is the only one of its kind in the country.
The Grade-II listed model village was built in the 1930s by the former owner of The New Inn pub.
When it comes to eating and drinking, the village is home to several riverside pubs and restaurants, including the Kingsbridge, which overlooks the River Windrush.
Other spots that make most of the riverside locations are the Green & Pleasant Tearooms and the Bourton Riverside Cafe.
