Pharrell Williams was spotted driving a newly delivered Cybertruck in the wild.
The ‘Happy’ singer pulled up to the Louis Vuitton store in Miami, Florida on Thursday as his Spring Summer 2024 collection debuted and parked in the middle of the street.
But Williams’ vibrant pieces were not the star of the show – the stainless steal Cybertruck appeared to take the limelight.
Pictures of the EV surfaced on X, where many users questioned why celebrities are receiving deliveries well before the public – at least two million reservations have yet to be fulfilled.
Pharrell Williams was spotted driving a newly delivered Cybertruck in the wild.
‘Celebrities are skipping the line… Booo,’ one X user shared.
Another posted: ‘A car for normal people….. Celebs still get them first.’
However, many other social media users were overjoyed the singer received his new Cybertruck.
‘Enjoy your Cybertruck Pharrell,’ Dan Burkland shared.
Williams is a creative director of menswear for Louis Vuitton and stopped by the Melrose Avenue location to look at his line of luggage, book bags, shoes and more.
The silver ‘Armageddon’ truck pulled up outside of the modern-designed Louis Vuitton and instantly caught pedestrians’ attention.
The singer opened the door and jumped out of the vehicle, heading right for the store – but managed to stop for some photographs with fans.
Williams is among several celebrities to receive early access to the coveted Tesla vehicle.
Serena Williams has also been spotted cruising the roads in one, and Spike Lee revealed he is on the reservation list.

Elon Musk officially started deliveries on December 1 during a special live-streamed event at Tesla’s Gigafactory in Austin, Texas.
Musk invited the first 10 electric vehicle owners to come up to the stage and sit inside their new vehicle, which a Tesla employee drove off.
The steel-plated vehicle features a six-foot-long, four-foot-wide bed that can carry up to 2,5000 pounds, 11,000 pounds towing capacity and a 17-inch ground clearance.
Musk said the Cybertruck’s body is made of a stainless steel alloy developed by Tesla.
Stainless steel, Musk said, has no corrosion and does not need paint but can still be mass-produced.
Musk, however, failed to mention the increase during the 25-minute event – the basic model was increased to $61,000.
The starting price was not the only one to increase – all-wheel drive is now $79,990, and the Cyberbeast is $99,990.

According to Tesla’s website, the rear-wheel drive Cybertruck will be ‘available’ in 2025, but the all-wheel drive and the Cyberbeast are set to launch in 2024.
It was speculated that Tesla was set to raise the price due to adjustments and upgrades made since the prototype was unveiled.
More than two million people are on the waitlist, which requires a $100 down payment to secure a truck.
It is unclear when moreCybertrucks will ship, but Musk said that production should reach about 250,000 annually by 2025.
Tesla has faced ‘enormous challenges in reaching volume production’ with the Cybertruck because of its new technology and design, Musk said in a recent statement.
Experts said that Cybertruck’s new body material and unconventional, futuristic styling add complexity and costs to production and threaten to alienate traditional pickup truck buyers who focus on utility.
