Footage shared on social media showed him posing for pictures alongside American singer Justine Skye as he enjoyed his time at the lavish event.

With the Monaco Grand Prix on the horizon, the event is likely to be just the first of many that Hamilton will need to get dressed up for in the coming weeks as Formula 1 prepares for its most glamourous race.
