The 150th Kentucky Derby will showcase stunning horse racing but, as always, will also feature eye-catching fashionable hats and outfits at Churchill Downs.
For over a century, the Kentucky Derby, also known as the "Run for the Roses," has been renowned for the distinctive hats worn by both men and women. This cherished tradition, dating back to the early 20th century, was born out of necessity: The race is always held in May, and spectators needed protection from the sun. Now, it's a necessity if attending the first leg of the Triple Crown series.
Travis Kelce, the tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, Aaron Rodgers, quarterback of the New York Jets, and country music artist Thomas Rhett were among the celebrities sighted at Churchill Downs racetrack.
Immerse yourself in the vibrant colors and standout fashion that exude femininity and elegance at the 2024 Kentucky Derby.
