Dannielynn Birkhead is ready for a day at the races.

After all, the daughter of the late Anna Nicole Smith stepped out with dad Larry Birkhead at the 35th annual Barnstable Brown Kentucky Derby Eve Gala May 3.

For the occasion, the 17-year-old wore a black Gianfranco Ferre dress once owned by Janet Jackson and purchased at Julien’s Auctions. She paired the look with black lace-up boots. Meanwhile, Larry, 51, wore a light gray suit and a black tie.

Dannielynn, who made her Kentucky Derby debut in 2010 at 3 years old, had found creative ways to honor her mom in her outfits during the event. Last year, she paid tribute to model —who died in 2007 at 39—by wearing a top featuring photos from Anna Nicole’s 1992 Guess campaign. She also topped the look off with some of the late model’s jewelry.

It’s a special event for the father-daughter duo, who attend every year. Larry explained on Instagram in May 2023, “Tonight is the 20th anniversary where I met Dannielynn’s Mom at the same event.”

For the photographer, making Dannielyn, who was just 5 months old when Anna Nicole died, feel connected to her mom has been crucial. This has included bringing her to meet the late television personality’s childhood friends in Mexia, Texas and gifting Dannielynn some of her mom’s belongings, like the wedding dress she wore to marry J. Howard Marshall II in 1994.

“Anna should be remembered as this larger-than-life figure that was really a caring, giving person,” Larry shared on 20/20 in February 2021. “A beautiful lady who loved her fans and loved her family.”

But most importantly, Larry emphasized how much she would love the person Dannielynn has become.

“You are funny, crazy smart, pretty and just about everything I could ever imagine,” he wrote in Dannielynn’s birthday tribute on Instagram in September. “Your Mom would be so proud of you, I sure am.”
