Dannielynn Birkhead channels mom Anna Nicole Smith at the Kentucky Derby

Dannielynn Birkhead and her father, Larry, turned heads at the Barnstable-Brown Gala during Kentucky Derby weekend, with their viral photo taking social media by storm.

Larry, 51, shared an Instagram post with the caption, “on the way to the Barnstable-Brown Gala for the start of @kentuckyderby weekend,” along with a carousel of images featuring him and his 17-year-old daughter.

In one of the photos, they are seen smiling together, both impeccably dressed. Larry, a photographer and former partner of Anna Nicole Smith, wore a stylish gray suit with a black tie, while Dannielynn opted for an elegant all-black dress previously worn by Janet Jackson.

“Dannielynn wore her second @janetjackson dress to the party that I got from Janet’s @juliens_auctions -charity auction,” Larry wrote, describing Dannielynn’s dress, a knee-length black dress by Gianfranco Ferre with a zip around it.

Excited about Derby weekend, Larry added, “Looking forward to a fun Derby weekend with the recent high school graduates!”

Although Dannielynn usually leads a private life, she and her father make it a point to attend the Kentucky Derby together every May. This tradition has continued since Dannielynn was just 3 years old.
