The glamour of the Kentucky Derby has always been about more than just horse racing, it's a stage for fashion, legacy, and unforgettable moments. This year, one of the most talked-about appearances came from the daughter of late model and actress Anna Nicole Smith, who stunned attendees and social media alike with her uncanny resemblance to her iconic mother.
At the 2026 Kentucky Derby on May 2, 19-year-old Dannielynn Birkhead wore a chic black-and-white floral-inspired strapless dress by Mac Duggal, paired with a black-and-white fascinator, platform heels, and a bold platinum blonde hairstyle with black tips.
