The daughter of the late Anna Nicole Smith paid homage to her mother at a Kentucky Derby appearance, wearing a one-of-a-kind dress with her face on it.
Dannielynn Birkhead and her father, Larry Birkhead, attended this year’s Kentucky Derby, as they do every year, according to TODAY. Dannielynn— now 16-years-old— wore the dress in honor of the 20th anniversary of her parents’ meeting.
“She’s got some personality traits of her mom’s, and she’s funny, but I think she’s a good mix of the two of us,” Larry told US Magazine in April.
According to an Instagram post, the dress included pictures of Anna from her days as a Guess model.
“Heading to the annual Barnstable-Brown Derby Eve Gala. Tonight is the 20th anniversary where I met Dannielynn’s Mom at the same event,” Larry Birkhead wrote.
“She’s showing off her fashion sense but at the same time paying tribute to her mom,” he said. “It came from a Guess collection that sold out and she saved it for a special occasion. It’s done with photos from some of Anna’s best Guess campaigns.”
While Larry and his daughter celebrate Anna’s legacy, Netflix is set to release a new documentary, featuring never-before-seen footage and audio of the star. “Anna Nicole Smith: You Don’t Know Me,” will be available for streaming on May 16.
According to US Magazine, Smith died of an accidental drug overdose just months after her son passed away in 2007. The director of the documentary, Ursula Macfarlane, wanted to approach the documentary differently.
“I feel like many previous books and films about Anna Nicole twisted her narrative, so I felt fortunate to have access to a wealth of audio and TV interviews including personal phone calls that involved Anna Nicole,” Macfarlane told Tudum. “I really feel like she is telling her own story in her own words. And with the contributions of people in her life who genuinely knew her, I feel that we’ve been able to get closer to her truth.”
