Grand Prix Glamour

Princess Grace of Monaco was the original trendsetter. Her style and fashion influence touched many of the most important luxury maisons in the world. She and the Princely family were known to also attend Formula 1® races— especially the Monaco Grand Prix—one of the most prestigious races of the season where her impeccable fashion was always on display.

Fast cars, big money, fabulous outfits; the world of Formula 1 is glamour in excelsis. Each year, thousands of athletes, aesthetes and aristos gather to celebrate the sport in serious style all across the globe. And naturally, with a palpable essence of high-speed hedonism erupting from the racetrack, only an outrageously chic uniform will suffice for its affluent attendees. - Tatler Magazine

In addition to her flawless wardrobe, Princess Grace was well-known for her commitment to excellence, the global culture of philanthropy she ignited in Monaco, and the enduring example she set as an iconic global leader for positive impact.

This year, the first Grace Influential Impact Award will be awarded to the Formula 1® team demonstrating the highest achievement in their ongoing commitment to innovation and positive impact. So, while the teams are busy submitting their applications, Tatler is getting fans ready with high fashion for the fast lane.
