LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Churchill Downs wants to help race fans look their best for Derby. The race track published its first-ever Kentucky Derby Style Guide in celebration of the 150th Kentucky Derby.
The guide features looks curated by fashion, beauty and entertainment journalist Zanna Roberts Rassi. Churchill Downs says it honors the “rich cultural tradition” of the event with a collection of looks that pay homage to Derby fashion from the past 150 years.
Roberts Rassi was tapped as the guest style editor for the inaugural publication to oversee hand-selected looks meant to inspire attire for the historic 150th Kentucky Derby taking place on Saturday, May 4. The style guide includes classic couture dresses and sleek bow ties to colorful hats and accessories.
“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.”
The style guide also features this year’s three featured milliner’s: Christine A. Moore Millinery, Forme Millinery and The Hat Girls. The three hatmakers were selected based on their dedication to their craft and passion for bringing color, beauty, and radiance to the Derby.
