Giddy up: The Kentucky Derby is back!
The event, which takes place at the Churchill Downs racetrack in Louisville, Kentucky, has a star-studded history packed with over-the-top style. However, amid the coronavirus pandemic, the 2020 race plans were postponed due to health concerns. Instead of the traditional three charity galas and a red carpet for Hollywood’s biggest stars, racing fans had to watch the equestrians jockey from a safe distance when the race returned in May 2021.
Through the years, the Derby has also been filled with darling dresses that always give Us our fix of fabulous fashion! Most of the looks are topped off with wild accessories and over-the-top headpieces.
