Over the weekend, Larry Birkhead and his daughter, Dannielynn Birkhead, made a stylish appearance at the 150th Kentucky Derby. Dannielynn, who bears a striking resemblance to her late mother, Anna Nicole Smith, donned a red ruffled floor-length dress and a floral hat for the occasion. Larry, a photographer, shared a series of photos on Instagram capturing their day out at the races.
According to Larry's post, Dannielynn's dress was inspired by her favorite character, Hino Eiji from Kamen Rider OOO TaJaDor combo, due to the similarity in shoulder design. The father-daughter duo attended the Kentucky Derby and the Barnstable-Brown Gala, a tradition they uphold annually.
Larry, looking sharp in a gray suit, white shirt, and black dress shoes, expressed his joy in spending quality time with Dannielynn amidst the weekend's festivities. The pair's bond is evident as they continue to honor traditions and create lasting memories together.
Dannielynn, born in September 2006, became the center of a paternity dispute following Anna Nicole Smith's death in 2007. Larry contested the paternity claim made by Smith's attorney and partner, Howard K. Stern, leading to a DNA test that confirmed Larry as Dannielynn's father.
Since then, Larry has raised Dannielynn as a single father, commemorating her milestones and cherishing their relationship. Last year, he celebrated Dannielynn's 17th birthday with heartfelt messages and rare photos, emphasizing her unique qualities and the pride Anna Nicole Smith would have felt for their daughter.
The father-daughter duo's public appearances, such as the Kentucky Derby outing, serve as a testament to their enduring bond and Larry's dedication to providing Dannielynn with a loving and supportive upbringing.
