Kim Kardashian stole the show during the Monaco Grand Prix after breaking an unspoken rule.
The reality TV star attended an F1 race with her sister Khloé this weekend to support her rumoured boyfriend Lewis Hamilton.
Wearing a white backless dress and a huge pair of sunglasses, the SKIMS founder, 45, was seen with other spectators watching the race.
But unfortunately, made headlines after breaking an unspoken 'clause' after being approached by Sky Sports F1 broadcaster and former racing driver Martin Brundle.

While it wasn't previously in the T&Cs of attendance, given Brundle's esteemed reputation in the world of motorsports, organisers introduced a 'Brundle clause' on grid walks back in 2021, ensuring attending celebs must give the commentator a moment of their time.
One big-name star who failed to entertain Brundle, however, was Kardashian. In painful footage now circulating online, he asked, ‘How are you today?’ after which she briefly glanced at him before turning to Khloé.
A member of Kardashian's security team then leaned in to talk to her closely, after which Brundle is heard telling someone else, off-camera: "You don’t need to push me, mate."
Trying again, Brundle asks the SKIMS boss: "Normally, people will have a quick chat with us, are you enjoying F1?"
Giving up after being ignored for a second time, Brundle then walked away, telling viewers: "Okay, Kim and Khloe, so we’re not talking today. I like to believe they might do..."
Fans are now reacting to another ‘rule’ Kardashian apparently broke at the Monaco Grand Prix and it’s all to do with the influencer’s outfit.
The mum-of-four made her F1 paddock debut which is the highly secure and exclusive backstage hub. Typically, the Monaco Grand Prix attracts glitzy and glamorous fashion and officially, there is no dress code for grandstand or general admission holders.
However, if you have a hospitality, Paddock Club or VIP ticket, you are expected to follow a smart dress code.
The official F1 X account posted a picture of Kardashian arriving at the paddock, wearing a black lace top and blue jeans. Although the outfit likely came with a hefty price tag, fans were largely unimpressed.
One disappointed commentator on social media posted: “I’m not a Kim hater… but you’re literally Kim Kardashian. Making your debut Paddock appearance. In MONACO. And THIS is the outfit you choose?!”
Another social media user wrote: “My thoughts EXACTLY !!!!”
A third declared: “I couldn’t agree more. Khloé’s outfit was better.”
This isn't the first time one of Kardashian's outfits has divided the internet or caused a stir online - remember the Marilyn Monroe controversy?
Some fans defended Kardashian’s outfit choice and said she was bringing a whole new vibe to F1. “Guys this is THE Kim K she can wear whatever she wants unapologetically she's bringing in a new era of wags and im here for it.”'
