I apologize in advance for writing about Formula 1 despite knowing very little about the sport, except what my enthusiast friends and partner tell me. However, on Sunday night, F1 coincided with a subject I do indeed know a lot about—celebrities of the B, C, and D tier, so uh, make like an F1 driver and buckle up for a speedy run through this list.
After the Las Vegas Grand Prix on Saturday night (which Max Verstappen won, and which was attended by A-Listers including Beyoncé and Jay-Z), a bunch of very random celebrity F1 fans—or maybe just the rich and famous who happened to also be in Sin City this weekend—attended the afterparty, which Vogue helpfully tells us was officially given the title The After.
Among the guests were a bunch of men who read pathetic but in a kind of sweet way (Orlando Bloom, Machine Gun Kelly, Kevin Hart); a bunch of men who read pathetic but in a dangerous way (Jake Paul, Logan Paul, Jeremy Renner, Travis Scott); a truly mixed bag of women (Victoria Justice, Ali Larter, Sara Sampaio); and Flava Flav.
The party itself seemed like a pretty standard Las Vegas affair: champagne, leather jackets, cleavage. But the more confounding itinerary came in the evening’s entertainment: After an Anderson .Paak DJ set, rumors swirled that there would be more to come, and around 1 a.m., Vogue reports, none other than John Mayer took the stage, playing some new stuff and some Grateful Dead tunes. And look, for all my sins, I like John Mayer’s music (Continuum is a perfect album when you remember that it came out in 2006), and I can appreciate a jam-band session… but neither of these are things I’d expect to hear after midnight while pouring my fourth glass of bubbly next to someone who got famous on Vine. (David Dobrik was there.)
In any case, Mayer’s performance—which of course included “Your Body Is a Wonderland”—was reportedly greeted by “screaming fans.” No word on whether Kat Stickler (the TikTok star and his rumored current fling who was spotted alongside him at the race) was among them.
