Anna Nicole Smith's daughter Dannielynn Birkhead made a bold fashion statement as she stepped out for the 150th Kentucky Derby in Louisville, Kentucky. The 17-year-old, who has attended the famed race with her father, Larry Birkhead, every year since 2010, wore a belted red gown with dramatic layers of ruffled sleeves at the shoulders.
The photographer also noted that he and his daughter were celebrating a special milestone. 'Looking forward to a fun Derby weekend with the newly graduated high school student!' Birkhead added. The Barnstable Brown Gala, which benefits the Barnstable Brown Diabetes Center at the University of Kentucky, is one of the most exclusive and star-studded Derby eve parties.
The Barnstable Brown Gala has special significance for Birkhead as he first met Smith at the event 21 years ago. Smith and Birkhead met in 2003 while he was working as a freelance photographer and the former Playboy Playmate was shooting her E! reality show 'The Anna Nicole Show.' Smith died in 2007 at the age of 39 when Dannielynn was just 5 months old.
Since I did meet her mom there, it started off just kind of me taking her back and showing her around and kind of letting her know the stories that, you know, this is kind of where I met your mom and things. 'And then it came to kind of people look for my daughter there because I really don't let her do any public events. And so, in all honesty, the Kentucky Derby is kind of the growth chart for Dannielynn.
