The founder of the Kentucky Derby was inspired by fashionable dress codes at events like Ascot and Paris's Grand Prix, aiming to elevate his racetrack's reputation.
Since the 1870s, the Derby has combined a passion for horses, gambling, and partying with extravagant attire, such as seersucker suits, feathered fascinators, and wide-brimmed hats.
The 150th running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs saw attendees donning elaborate hats adorned with spring florals and feathers, along with jockey helmets styled with plastic stallions and horse heads.
The Kentucky Derby is a multi-generational family affair, often described as the most exciting two minutes in sports, where attendees showcase coordinating and standout looks.
