FOR THE LADIES
Our event is a celebration that rivals the spectacle and thrill of the Kentucky Derby itself, extending the excitement from the iconic race to an unparalleled display of fashion.

As we approach our event, reminiscent of the anticipation for the Kentucky Oaks and Derby, attendees are invited to don their most spectacular outfits. This week is your canvas to dazzle, whether through vibrant, floral ensembles or the sophistication of understated elegance. Dressing for our event is an art with no strict guidelines, largely because your outfit choice is inspired by the experience you seek. Yet, one principle unites all guests: dress to turn heads and leave a lasting impression.
FOR THE GENTS
This Derby season, the contemporary gentleman is presented with a vibrant palette that perfectly welcomes the spring. Immerse yourself in sun-kissed, tropical hues, where daring stripes and lively plaids, along with soft pastels, take center stage. For those leaning towards a refined ensemble, a timeless navy or seersucker jacket remains a foolproof choice.
Embrace the spirit of the Derby by pairing eye-catching trousers with dynamic shirts. A mix of complementary colors can set the tone for the day, while inviting patterns like gingham or stripes add an extra dimension of flair to your look.
The cornerstone of your outfit, the jacket, ties it all together with undeniable elegance. Opting for a classic navy blazer ensures a polished finish that’s both stylish and steeped in tradition.
HATS AND THE DERBY
Mention the Kentucky Derby, and instantly, images of majestic horses and spectacular hats fill the imagination. It's universally acknowledged that the fashion parade along the sidelines is just as captivating as the equine athletes racing the track. Every first Saturday in May, Churchill Downs becomes a global runway where women showcase their finest hats and fascinators. Ever wonder about the origins of these magnificent creations? The answer lies with the distinguished Kentucky Derby milliners.
These milliners are the masterminds and craftsmen behind the iconic and extravagant headwear synonymous with Derby day. With a blend of artistic vision and meticulous craftsmanship, they produce hats and fascinators that aren't just accessories but stand-alone works of art, each with its own story. Their unparalleled creativity and attention to detail ensure that every piece is as unique and memorable as the event itself.
