Kim and Lewis Set for First UK Public Appearance Together

Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton are set to take their relationship to the next level by making their first public appearance in the UK at the Ethnicity Awards in Mayfair, according to sources. The power couple have been enjoying getting to know each other on lavish trips across the globe but are now ready to make their first appearance together in Britain.

It will mark their first time publicly on UK soil together since their relationship was confirmed in late December. While they have been enjoying an 'intense' romance, which has hit all the headlines, the pair haven't publicly attended an event in the UK since their coupling.

Event Details

All eyes will be on the happy couple as they hit the red carpet on Thursday, 22 October 2026 at the London Marriott Hotel Grosvenor Square in Mayfair. The ceremony will see a whole host of awards handed out during the special occasion.

Lewis will be involved in the sporting category for Sports Personality of the Year. He will face competition from the likes of England football star Bukayo Saka. Other honours up for grabs include Broadcaster of the Year, which sees broadcaster and radio presenter Clara Amfo shortlisted alongside television presenter and dancer Oti Mabuse, with the pair celebrating their contribution to British broadcasting and their influence both on and off screen.

Music and Inspiration

Chart-topping artists Olivia Dean and Charli XCX lead the nominations when it comes to music and the race for Artist of the Year. The nominations recognise their outstanding creative success and cultural impact over the past year.

This year's Inspirational Public Figure of the Year award sees television favourite Gok Wan, supermodel and campaigner Naomi Campbell and former British Vogue Editor-in-Chief Edward Enninful all recognised for using their platforms to inspire positive change and champion greater representation.

Others on this year's shortlist feature some of the UK's most influential figures from the worlds of entertainment, sport, media and business, alongside organisations leading the way in creating more inclusive workplaces and communities. The awards are the UK's biggest celebration of diversity, inclusion and ethnic minority achievement.
