Influencer’s risqué outfit at F1 event brutally roasted online

A social media star has caused controversy for her daring outfit choice at a luxury event during the Monaco Grand Prix.

An influencer has sparked controversy online after people claimed she made a massive fashion faux pas while attending the Monaco Grand Prix.

Lily Chee, a model and social media star with 1.6 million Instagram followers, was at an F1 event held by luxury Swiss watch brand, TAG Heuer, when the incident occurred.

In photos shared to her Instagram stories, the 21-year-old posed alongside her friend and fellow model, Blanca Soler, and another woman at the exclusive bash – held after the Grand Prix of Monaco officially kicked off on Sunday in Monte Carlo.

The three socialites wore formal black dresses and smiled for photos on the boat’s deck.

While it appeared to be a classy affair, the back of Chee’s dress caught the attention of the internet as it had a daringly low-cut back, which left the top part of her bottom exposed.

Dozens of users took to Reddit to discuss the controversial outfit choice after someone shared a screenshot of the post with the caption, “Why is her a** crack out?”

Some said that it reminded them of a “plumber’s crack”, while others described the move as “classless” and “trashy”, particularly at such a luxurious event.

Another person suggested that Chee needed some “real friends” who would have alerted her to the fashion mishap at the time.

“Pull your pants up,” said another critic.

However, some supporters praised the look, with one person on Instagram commenting, “Love the dress”.

“All the dresses are so unique and glamorous, it feels like a James Bond movie to me,” another wrote. “Lily’s dress is my favourite”.

“Killing it,” said a third.

Yet others couldn’t overlook Chee flashing the flesh and said they struggled to understand the “exposed crack trend”, which is often associated with red-carpet looks but more recently has seeped into mainstream fashion.

As stars began embracing the “butt cleavage” look, from Katy Perry to Noah Cyrus, New York Magazine’s The Cut declared that “cracks are back” last year, and people continue to support this style well into 2025.

People decreed a couple of months ago that butt cracks are the trend for the northern hemisphere’s spring, following Zoë Kravitz baring her bum cheeks at the Oscars after-party.

Aussie model Jess King explained that the trend celebrates the female form and says she “loves” seeing a variety of women in all shapes and sizes adopt the look.

“I feel empowered when I am embracing my body, meeting life with a smile and in an outfit that champions my curves,” she told news.com.au in October.

Fashion designer Donny Gallela also agreed that clothing which allows people to highlight their natural features can boost confidence.

“Style is about expressing your personality and the clothes you wear should make you feel confident, and if a client feels empowered by showing a bit of skin or enhancing their curves, I’m all for helping them achieve that,” he added.
