The glamor and glitz of the Formula 1 paddock were present at a very prestigious event recently. The renowned American record producer, Pharrell Williams is known for his epic collaborations. After having given the world the gift of ‘Get Lucky’ with Daft Punk, Williams decided to bestow the world with his fashion prowess, too. Making his debut for Louis Vuitton at the Pont Neuf bridge in Paris on Tuesday. But while Lewis Hamilton made a dazzling appearance, Max Verstappen‘s beau, Kelly Piquet gave it the snub.

Piquet did take to her Instagram to apologize later. She wrote, “Sorry to have missed such a historic moment! Congratulations @pharrell and @louisvuitton for putting together such a beautiful spectacle.” Ever since people have been trying to decipher her absence. But as it turns out, Piquet chose to clear the air herself.
