The daughter of Anna Nicole Smith and Larry Birkhead is all grown up. On May 4, Dannielynn Birkhead accompanied her father to the Kentucky Derby — an annual tradition they’ve been keeping up with for years.
“On the way to @kentuckyderby with Dannielynn after a great night at the Barnstable-Brown Gala and quick morning haircut or two. Dannielynn’s dress was inspired by her favorite character Hino Eiji, Kamen Rider OOO TaJaDor combo -she made me write that -because that character had the same shoulders as the design of the dress she found,” Larry Birkhead captioned an Instagram post.
“Hey whatever works, just trying to spend a little quality time as this weekend of traditions come to a close,” he added.
Larry Birkhead has been raising his daughter since she was a baby. Smith died of a drug overdose in 2007.
