Austin’s Formula 1 weekend isn’t just about fast cars and famous drivers. It’s also become a magnet for celebrity sightings, exclusive parties and some seriously glamorous brand takeovers. Luxury skincare brand Clarins delivered one of the biggest star-studded celebrations, bringing Hollywood talent, VIPs, creators and beauty insiders together for an evening dedicated to the future of skincare.

Dubbed “A New Era: One Drop Further on Longevity,” the event put the spotlight on Clarins’ latest innovations in longevity skincare while giving guests a taste of the brand’s science-meets-nature approach to beauty. And with a guest list that included some familiar faces from both the entertainment and the sports world, it was another reminder that Austin’s F1 social scene has become a destination in its own right.

A Celebrity Guest List Worth a Double Take

Among the VIPs in attendance were actress Emma Roberts, The Summer I Turned Pretty star Gavin Casalegno, actress Christina Ricci, Outer Banks star Carlacia Grant, actor Damson Idris, golfer Lily Muni He, model Rebecca Donaldson and actor Jalen Thomas Brooks.

We got the chance to speak with a handful of the VIPs in attendance about beauty, F1, Texas and more. Here’s a clip of He, Grant and local influencers Kaity Biggar, Zach Shallcross, Amber Lee and Ethan Diamond talking about F1 makeovers on the red carpet at the event.

Austin’s F1 Weekend Gets the Beauty Treatment

While the celebrity sightings certainly brought the star power, skincare was the main event. Clarins used the occasion to spotlight its next-generation DOUBLE SERUM® EYE treatment. Its formula is designed to tackle some of the most common concerns around the delicate eye area: dark circles, puffiness, fine lines, and dehydration.

For anyone juggling late nights, early mornings, travel and a packed social calendar, the promise of looking a little more refreshed is certainly appealing. And during a weekend when Austin is running on adrenaline, celebrity appearances\ and probably not enough sleep, the timing feels particularly appropriate.

Clarins Steals The Spotlight

Austin’s Formula 1 weekend has evolved beyond the track to become a place for exclusive brand experiences, celebrity events, luxury activations and other parties that bring together entertainment, fashion, beauty and culture.

For Clarins, the celebration offered an opportunity to connect its latest skincare innovations with an influential crowd in a city that knows how to turn a major event into a full-blown experience.

Between the celebrity guest list, focus on beauty and an immaculate vibe, the Clarins party was one of the best events that took place during F1 weekend in Austin.
