The Kentucky Derby is as much about fashion as it is sport, and the 138th annual race— held this weekend at Louisville's famed Churchill Downs— was no disappointment.
Tens of thousands of spectators watched as I'll Have Another raced to victory , wearing everything from designer chapeaus to gear that gave a nod to the other major celebration taking place on Saturday— Cinco de Mayo.
A few celebrities showed off their best headgear as well.
