Larry, 48, took to Instagram to share a few photos of he and Dannielynn attending the annual event.

“It’s that time of year again. The @kentuckyderby weekend is here!” Larry wrote. “Even though our favorite event The Barnstable-Brown Party won’t be back until next year, we decided to head out on this beautiful day to Churchill Downs racetrack in preparation for The Kentucky Derby.”

In the photos, Dannielynn looked so grown up in a bright blue pantsuit by Jovani paired with a white floral headpiece and sparkling white ballet flats.

“Dannielynn ‘finished first’ in her @jovanifashions pant suit and a beautiful white flowered fascinator. She said she wanted to wear something entirely different than she had in the past,” Larry continued. “I guess that means no more ‘little girl’ dresses?? She cleaned out the chocolate brownies, ice cream and nachos while at the same time critiquing my outfit. 🤷‍♂️ #kentuckyderby weekend #kentuckyoaks #prouddad #timeflies #nomorebraces #jovanifashions”

Each year, the father-daughter duo attend Kentucky Derby events, where Larry and Anna met for the first time in 2003.

Dannielynn Birkhead, the 14-year-old daughter of the late Anna Nicole Smith, is the subject of a new 20/20 special in which she will dive into her mom’s past.

The special follows Dannielynn and her dad Larry Birkhead, 48, as they travel to Texas to visit the town where Anna grew up.

Smith passed away in 2007 from an accidental overdose at the age of 39.

Dannielynn‘s a teenager now, and she doesn’t really know a ton of things about her mom,” Larry said in the trailer for the special. “As a dad who has a child whose mom’s passed away, I thought, ‘Why not go back to Anna‘s beginnings?’”

Larry also admitted in the special that he didn’t know a lot about Anna‘s past either.

Every year for the past decade, Dannielynn has joined her father on the red carpet at the Kentucky Derby and some other events. You can see her grow up in the photos here!
