Eva Modika heads to Monaco for the Formula 1 Grand Prix following the Cannes Film Festival red carpet

Fresh from turning heads at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, South African DJ, media personality and entrepreneur Eva Modika has continued her European journey by attending the iconic Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix, further cementing her growing presence on the global entertainment and lifestyle stage.

After spending time in Cannes networking with international creatives, attending film premieres and celebrating South African excellence abroad, Eva briefly returned home before jetting off once again, this time to the glamorous Principality of Monaco, where the world’s most influential figures in sport, entertainment, fashion and business gather annually for the Formula 1 spectacle.

Widely regarded as one of the most prestigious races on the Formula 1 calendar, the Monaco Grand Prix has become synonymous with luxury, excellence and ambition. Over the years, the event has attracted an impressive list of global celebrities including Naomi Campbell, Tom Cruise, Patrick Dempsey, Michael Douglas, Winnie Harlow, Orlando Bloom, Cristiano Ronaldo, Serena Williams, Kendall Jenner, Lewis Hamilton, Usher and South Africa’s own Black Coffee. This year US stars Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Lewis Hamilton, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Michael Douglas, Olivia Wilde, Patrick Dempsey and Cynthia Erivo are attending.

For Eva, attending the Monaco Grand Prix represents more than just another international event, it is a reflection of how far South African talent can travel when passion, persistence and purpose align.

Eva says:

“The Monaco Grand Prix is one of those events you hear about your whole life. It’s where sport, innovation, luxury and culture meet. Being here is both inspiring and motivating because it reminds me that there are no limits to what is possible when you continue to dream bigger and work harder.”

“Coming from South Africa and standing among people who are leaders in their respective industries is a reminder that our stories, our talent and our ambitions belong on the global stage too.”

The appearance comes just weeks after her successful attendance at the Cannes Film Festival, where she walked the famous red carpet and connected with influential figures from the global film industry.

Her European travels follows the release of her latest single, “Sebenza,” featuring Mawhoo, Peekay Nzee, David Moh and Roots Afriq, which continues to gain momentum among music lovers.

As she continues to expand her international footprint, Eva remains committed to representing South African talent and demonstrating that local creatives can successfully navigate global spaces while remaining proudly rooted in their identity.

Her presence at both Cannes and Monaco within a matter of weeks highlights a new chapter in her career, one focused on international growth, meaningful collaborations and opening doors for future opportunities beyond music and television.

Eva says:

“People often ask what I am doing at these major international events. The answer is simple: I am building my name and brand as an international brand. I am a DJ, and when I travel, I get the opportunity to represent South Africa, connect with influential people and perform at some of the world’s most sought-after venues.For me, this is about ticking off goals from my bucket list while also creating opportunities that can help elevate my career to the next level. Every event, every connection and every experience is part of a bigger vision. I want to show that South African talent can compete and thrive on the global stage.”

From the red carpets of Cannes to the streets of Monaco, Eva Modika is proving that South African talent belongs among the world’s best, inspiring a new generation of dreamers to think beyond borders and embrace opportunities on the global stage.
