The Kentucky Derby is one of the United States oldest Thoroughbred horse races. It is an annual race held on the first Saturday in May in Louisville, Kentucky. The race has been known as “The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports” or “The Fastest Two Minutes in Sports” because of its duration and the winner gets covered in a blanket of roses!
The Kentucky Derby is also a fairly large draw for celebrities. They come from all over the world to attend the Derby in lovely dresses and ginormous (yet gorgeous!) hats! Some of my favorite celebrities at The Kentucky Derby this year include:
Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo:

I really, really love her pink dress and shoes and I love that Nick is looking dapper while color coordinated to match her! They are such a cute couple! (This was actually a pre-Derby event. Vanessa work black at the actual Derby!)
Maria Menounos:

Pretty dress and pretty hat! Maria looks really lovely! (Again, this was pre-Derby! Maria got a bit more dressed up for the Derby itself!)
Kim Kardashian:

One word: gorgeous! The hat, the dress, the gloves….she looks amazing!
Erin Andrews:

I love Erin’s black and white look! And I love the fact that she went a bit different from all of the other ladies by wearing pants! Her strapless top and flowy white pants look amazing on her! Love!
Marisa Miller:

Marisa went with a smaller hat….but I like it! She looks very retro to me, and it looks good on her! Kinda Great Gatsby-ish, right?!
Paula Patton:

Great shoes and a great hat! I am just so-so about the dress, but her overall look is pretty cute! She looks like a lady!
And of course, there were several looks that I hated! Sorry, gotta point ‘em out!
Kate Gosselin:

Miranda Lambert:

Jennifer Tilly:

There really isn’t a lot to say about the above three photos. I don’t like any of their Derby outfits! They should be ashamed of themselves!
Who do you think was best/worst dressed at The Kentucky Derby?
