Arguably, the glammest spot to be Saturday night before the races was the much-anticipated Ritz-Carlton Montreal Grand Prix Party, presented in collaboration with Aston Martin and partner Red Bull Racing. The smash soiree with a splash of high-profile sponsors brought the goods, including the Vantage and other models, which were in full view throughout GP week and at the party. As for VIPeeps, You name it, they were there, decked to the elevens for the Sahara-themed spectacular curated by Katia Piccolino and Maddy K. that still has guests buzzing days later … VROOM!
