Flip through the latest issue of Gulf Weekly.
The Formula One Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix had fashionistas flocking, turning heads as fast as the track with picture-perfect panoply and style.
True F1 fans sported their favourite team race-gear and colours in polos, tees, jackets and hats while others stuck to the latest trends and runway pieces.
The younger crowd stayed comfortable with smart denim rolled neatly on the bottom showcasing coveted white canvass trainers, Converse or Vans. The more glamorous wore casual shoes in metallic shades in gold or silver giving that extra edge to a ‘norm-core’ trend. The highlighted trainers were offset with simple tees and cardigans for an understated attraction.
The sequin and glitter trend was evident on sweaters and tops especially those spelling out brand names, for example a red and white cola-inspired offering. And upbeat words such as ‘Party’ were displayed in gold-mirrored brilliance. Long caftans and sweaters were worn over casual attire draping to the floor leaving an elegant and feminine detail.
Some ladies were spotted staying cool during the day in short summer dresses with matching sunglasses and hats while others wore flowing maxis for that ever popular boho Joss Stone gypsy style.
Gents stayed sharp in smart casual looks wearing cardigans over graphic tees with funky shoes and fedoras. Some guys just stuck to the simple white tee, jeans and shades which gave a classic, sexy Americana vibe.

The excitement of the Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix might be over but you can still keep the race fever with the ‘Mercedes-Benz Man’ fragrance from Al Hawaj.
The cologne was created for the man who is interested in a lifestyle of success and power with a strong personality who is ‘sophisticated and bold’.
Master perfumer Olivier Cresp, introduced this new timeless fragrance belonging to the aromatic, woody, fruity family. It has a very intense, aromatic heart of cedar leaf and geranium that embodies a masculine elegance. Fruity, subtly modern pear notes are blended with ambrette seeds for a fresh, contemporary result. The deep, woody trail is liberated by sophisticated palisander rosewood complimented by oak moss.
This splendid, high-tech bottle is the perfect transcription of the brand’s image. The pure chrome lines of the emblematic Star, set in a halo of massive glass, stand out against the deep blue background.
