Anna Nicole Smith’s Daughter Dannielynn, 19, Looks All Grown Up at 2026 Kentucky Derby

  • On Saturday, May 2, 2026, Dannielynn Birkhead and her father, Larry Birkhead, attended the 152nd Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, continuing their long-standing father-daughter tradition.
  • The tradition began when Dannielynn was three years old, following Larry's 2003 meeting with her late mother, Anna Nicole Smith, at the Barnstable Brown Gala.
  • At the Barnstable Brown Derby Eve Gala on Friday, May 1, Dannielynn debuted a self-designed "vampire" inspired look featuring a bob with black highlights, departing from her past "girly and frilly" style.
  • Larry described the style shift as his daughter "coming into her own," noting it resembles a mix of Pat Benatar and Joan Jett rather than her mother's selections.
  • While Dannielynn has previously garnered attention for wearing her mother's vintage dresses, this year's departure reflects her growing interest in fashion, distinct from the style that made Smith famous.
