The first-ever Kentucky Derby Style Guide has been released In celebration of its 150th Kentucky Derby. The guide, created in partnership with fashion, beauty and entertainment journalist Zanna Roberts Rassi, honors the cultural tradition with a collection of looks that pay homage to Derby fashion from the past 150 years.
The guide features classic couture dresses and bowties, colorful hats and timeless accessories, including longstanding fashion partners and brands like vineyard vines, Longines, Radley London and Brackish.
“There is truly nothing like the fashion found at the Kentucky Derby,” Roberts Rassi said. “It's a feast of popping colors, new trends and unique looks which are all elevated by the ever-fabulous headwear–its influence is engrained in American culture. Created with more than a century's worth of trends in mind, I hope fans feel inspired by the history found in the Kentucky Derby Style Guide when pulling together their outfits to wear for this year's race.”
Official milliners for this year's Derby are Christine A. Moore Millinery (Christine Moore), Formé Millinery (Jenny Pfanenstiel) and The Hat Girls (Kate Smith and Rachel Bell).
