Dannielynn Birkhead, daughter of the late Anna Nicole Smith, wowed the Internet again during her regular appearance at the Kentucky Derby on Saturday with her father, Larry Birkhead.
Photos of the 8-year-old beauty — wearing a pastel pink Monsoon dress that matched her father's suit — during a red carpet appearance at Churchill Downs are making the rounds on social media, with many remarking on the girl's resemblance to her mother, who died of a drug overdose in 2007.
Birkhead, 42, first met Smith at a
Kentucky Derby party in 2004, E! Online reported.
“It’s fun every year. I’m just excited to be here and
I’m glad to be a part of it,” Birkhead told The Courier-Journal. “It took me like two months to get my daughter’s outfit together, shopping and mixing and matching stuff.”
He explained how Dannielynn also helped him choose what he would wear so as not to embarrass her.
This year’s event marked the father-daughter duo's fifth appearance at
Churchill Downs, Us Weekly reported.
Dannielynn was a model for GUESS Kids in 2012, but her father helps her maintain a low profile.
"I just got offered to do a father-daughter movie, but we don't know," he told Us Weekly. "We try to be conservative and let her be a kid — she's in Girl Scouts right now."
Birkhead commented on his daughter’s appearance on Twitter on Monday.
Twitter users also shared their opinions on the girl’s appearance.
