Anna Nicole Smith's Daughter Dannielynn Has Grown Up To Be Her Twin

Larry Birkhead allows Dannielynn Birkhead to make a single public appearance only once a year, and so far, it has been at the Kentucky Derby. During the 2022 occasion, Larry took charge of their red carpet conversation with the Courier Journal, revealing that his teenage daughter has a passion for playing the guitar and the iconic Richie Sambora offered to give her lessons after they met at a pre-Derby party.

When asked about his excitement for the outing, Larry expressed that he is most thrilled about spending time with Dannielynn and emphasized that he prefers to shield her from unnecessary attention. "[The derby is] what I let her do. There's a lot of people that are interested because of her mother, and I don't like to let her fall into that," he said.

While Larry seems to be the typical overprotective dad, he can't stop people from noticing the striking resemblance between Dannielynn and her late mother. At the 2023 Kentucky Derby Brownstable Brown Gala, a gathering held a couple of days before the derby itself, Dannielynn wore a black tulle skirt paired with a blouse adorned with photos from Anna Nicole Smith's early '90s Guess campaign. As another nod to her mother, Dannielynn chose to recreate Smith's signature wispy updo and dark eye makeup. "She's showing off her fashion sense [while] at the same time paying tribute to her mom," Larry explained to People Magazine.
