It wasn’t just fast cars stealing the spotlight in New York on Monday night—it was fast lives, high fashion, and a whole lot of star power.
Brad Pitt’s upcoming Formula One film had its grand premiere, and the red carpet was buzzing with both Hollywood A-listers and real-life F1 legends.
Among the glam crowd were Geri Halliwell and her husband, Red Bull Racing boss Christian Horner, leading the VIP parade alongside actual drivers like Lewis Hamilton, Lando Norris, and Yuki Tsunoda.
With such a crossover of cinema and sport, the event felt like a blend of the Monaco Grand Prix and Oscars night.
Geri and Christian Go Full Glam
Former Spice Girl Geri, 52, looked effortlessly elegant in a white midi dress featuring a tasteful cut-out design and a waist-cinching belt.
She paired the look with platform heels and silver drop earrings that added just enough sparkle.
By her side, Christian Horner, 51, looked sharp in a navy suit and crisp white shirt—classic and clean.
Brad and Ines Steal the Show With Their PDA
But make no mistake—this was Brad Pitt’s night.
The 61-year-old actor looked every bit the leading man in a tailored navy suit, ditching his casual, midlife-crisis look for something sleeker.
What really turned heads, though, was his date: Ines de Ramon.
Ines, 32, went bold with a sheer, bridal-inspired ensemble that flashed cleavage, midriff, and legs, thanks to a feathered skirt and a daring neckline.
Holding hands and smiling for cameras, the couple looked very much in love, despite the 29-year age gap—and the tabloid noise that usually surrounds Pitt.
The Film: A Comeback Tale With Real Racing Legends
The movie itself features Pitt playing Sonny Hayes, a former F1 driver coming out of retirement to mentor a rookie—played by Damson Idris—and take on the sport’s biggest names.
It’s a fictional drama, but with Lewis Hamilton producing and actual drivers like Norris and Tsunoda involved, it carries authentic motorsport weight.
Director Joseph Kosinski, known for Top Gun: Maverick, helms the project, which also stars Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem, and Tobias Menzies.
The film hits theatres on June 27.
A Win Onscreen, But Family Struggles Offscreen
While Pitt’s professional life is revving up again, his personal life is still complicated.
He recently made headlines for a rare comment about his strained relationship with his kids, shared with ex-wife Angelina Jolie.
Speaking during the film’s Mexico City promo, he reflected on aging and priorities.
“When you get to my age,” he said, “you realize how important it is to be surrounded by people you love and who love you back.
Friends, family—that’s it.”
But the pain lingers.
Pitt reportedly believes that his bond with two of his six children might be beyond repair.
Shiloh, now 19, even filed to legally drop “Pitt” from her surname last year.
A source told DailyMail that Brad “knew it was coming,” and while it stung, “he’s left the door open” if any of his children choose to reconnect someday.
Brad Clears the Air on Divorce, Dating, and the Spotlight
In an interview for GQ’s June 2025 issue, Pitt touched on his long divorce saga with Jolie.
“I don’t think it was that major of a thing,” he said plainly.
“Just something coming to fruition. Legally.”
When asked if going public with Ines de Ramon at last year’s British Grand Prix was a calculated move, Pitt laughed it off: “No, dude, it’s not that calculated.
Life just evolves.”
He also spoke candidly about fame and its downsides.
“It’s been an annoyance I’ve always had to deal with… a nagging time suck.
But my life feels warm and secure now.
With my friends, my loves, my fam… the rest is just background noise.”
What’s Next?
With F1 set to hit cinemas later this month, Pitt’s focus seems split between the red carpet and real-life reflection.
His relationship with Ines appears to be his current anchor, and sources say he’s in a “great place.”
As for his family? Time will tell.
But if Pitt’s recent words are any indication, he’s still hoping the wheel turns in his favor.
