See the Best Dressed Stars Ever at the Kentucky Derby

Hats off to these fashion icons.

Between Victoria Justice's chic pantsuit and Sarah Hyland's darling floral getup, there's no de-neigh-ing that celebs dress to the nines for the Kentucky Derby.

It's true—Derby fashion is such an important tradition, that stars even commission custom-made outfits. At the 2018 event, Black-ish actor Anthony Anderson wowed in a custom, canary-yellow suit. "This was specifically made for the Derby today," he told reporters at the time. "I may put it in a case and just have it in the family room." Needless to say, his look certainly brightened up our day.

This year, we're betting on even more unforgettable ensembles, especially for Anne Nicole Smith's 17-year-old daughter Dannielynn Birkhead, who has become a regular at the Churchill Downs event.

"It's her one day a year outing that we do publicly," dad Larry Birkhead said in a 2022 interview of their family tradition. "I think you guys can take pictures and watch her grow from just this event."

The 150th Kentucky Derby is set to air Saturday, May 4, with coverage kicking off at 11:30 a.m. PT / 2:30 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock. 

Now, ahead of this year's event, keep reading to see which celebrity guests of years past did not disappoint with their show-stopping looks...
