The Kentucky Derby’s Stylish Hats

The attendees of Kate and William’s lavish wedding received a lot of attention for the hats they selected. So did the ladies who attended the Kentucky Derby one week later. Why do ladies wear hats to the Kentucky Derby? No one knows for sure. We do know that it has been a tradition from the start. When the Kentucky Derby was first held, 137 years ago, hats were an essential everyday accessory for those who could afford them. Whether it is a status symbol or simply for sun shielding, we enjoy seeing the hats chosen by the celebrities. Below are some photos from this year’s event.
