The Kentucky Derby is here — and despite some rainy weather, Derby goers are stepping out in elaborately decorated hats and stylish high heels.
In honor of the event, FN is taking a look at the chicest style seen on event attendees at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Ky., today.
One stylish eventgoer paired a bright orange dress with strappy tan sandals. She accessorized with a black and tan feathered hat.
Another attendee looked sophisticated in a hot-pink and black ensemble, sporting a chic dress paired with a flower-trimmed hat. She completed her stylish look with simple ankle-strap sandals in a classic black.
Floral-trimmed hats were a popular choice for the event. Another attendee went for a Derby-appropriate ensemble in a woven hat trimmed with pale pink flowers, which she paired with a blush-colored dress. She finished off her look with nude fishnet stockings and brown wedge sandals.
Although some Derby-goers dealt with the rain without appropriate gear, others opted for ponchos or plastic coverings to keep their outfits from getting wet.
One event attendee chose trendy red block-heel sandals for footwear but protected herself with a wide-brimmed straw hat and a rain poncho.
