Kim Kardashian sparked debate among Formula 1 fans after stepping out in a sheer black lace top and oversized denim jeans during the Monaco Grand Prix weekend.

While Kardashian embraced her signature blend of sexy and high-fashion dressing, some fans felt her wardrobe clashed with Monaco's sophisticated atmosphere.

For her first paddock appearance, Kardashian stepped out in a sheer black lace corset-style tank top featuring delicate floral detailing and a plunging neckline.

The revealing piece was tucked into oversized light-wash jeans with horsebit-inspired hardware at the hips. She completed the look with black pointed-toe heels and oversized shield sunglasses.

The outfit quickly became a topic of discussion across social media, where critics argued that the relaxed denim felt too casual for Monte Carlo's famously polished fashion scene.

Monaco is widely regarded as Formula 1's most luxurious race weekend, known for designer tailoring, elegant resort wear, and yacht-side glamour.

One viral comment compared Kardashian's outfit to a "NASCAR tailgate party" look, while others described it as more suited to Los Angeles street style than the refined aesthetic traditionally associated with Monaco.

She wore her signature jet-black hair long, sleek and center parted, with glossy lengths cascading over her shoulders.

Her makeup featured bronzed skin, softly sculpted cheekbones, fluttery lashes and nude glossy lips. Oversized futuristic sunglasses added an extra layer of drama to the ensemble.
