Anna Nicole Smith, Larry Birkhead’s daughter Dannielynn attends Kentucky Derby

Dannielynn Birkhead attended Kentucky Derby with her father Larry Birkhead.

The teenager, who is a lookalike daughter of the late Anna Nicole Smith, was featured by her photographer dad on Instagram.

The 51-year-old shared sweet pictures of his 17-year-old daughter on social media including an adorable picture of her holding an action figure.

She wore a red ruffled floor-length dress and accessorized with a red floral hat to the event.

Larry sported a wearing a gray suit, a white button-up shirt, and black dress shoes.

The father-daughter duo have made it a family tradition to attend the Kentucky Derby and the Barnstable-Brown Gala every year.

The father of one wrote alongside the family pictures on social media, “On the way to @kentuckyderby with Dannielynn after a great night at the Barnstable-Brown Gala and quick morning haircut or two.”

He also detailed his daughter’s inspiration for the dress.

“Annielynn’s dress was inspired by her favorite character Hino Eiji, Kamen Rider OOO TaJaDor combo -she made me write that -because that character had the same shoulders as the design of the dress she found!,” he wrote.

“Hey whatever works, just trying to spend a little quality time as this weekend of traditions come to a close…,” Larry concluded.

In the 2023 Barnstable-Brown Gala, he revealed that he met the mother of his child, Anna Nicole Smith, at the same event 20 years ago.

After welcoming Dannielynn in September 2006, there was a question of paternity. Although Smith had claimed that the baby’s father was her romantic partner Howard K. Stern, Larry contested and demanded a DNA test.

Following the death of the Playboy model in February 2007 from a drug overdose, the custody of the infant was given to Larry Birkhead. 

Since Smith’s death at the age of 39, he has been raising Dannielynn as a single father.

Larry has tried his best to shield his daughter from Hollywood and fame.

However, the photographer turned real estate agent wished his daughter on her 17th birthday.

“Happy 17th Birthday Dannielynn! I am so proud of you in each and every way. Wishing you the best day ever! You are funny, crazy smart, pretty, and just about everything I could ever imagine. Your Mom would be so proud of you, I sure am. Happy Birthday! Love Dad. By the way, when you asked me if you could live in my basement forever. I said yes, but I didn’t have the heart to tell you there aren’t any basements in Florida,” he wrote at the time.
