All Of Her Kentucky Derby Looks Through The Years

In 2018, Dannielynn Birkhead hit the red carpet in a quintessential Kentucky Derby outfit. She donned a white dress with blue floral appliqués on the hems and a blue sash around the waist. And, of course, there was her hat. While Dannielynn had favored relatively simple headpieces in the past, that year she wore a wide-brimmed sun hat that tied in the blue from her dress with an adornment on the brim. Her father, Larry Birkhead, matched with a blue gingham suit, a paisley tie, and a blue pocket square.
Given her age, we assume Dannielynn had more input than ever before into her outfit, but her father has certainly done an impeccable job of putting together Derby looks. He's recognized in the past, however, the difficulties of being a single father to a young girl. "It's tough raising a little girl without a mom. You always want to make sure you're doing the right things and a thing that a mom would choose that a dad might not choose," he said on "The Steve Harvey Show."
