Celebs and Derby Hats: Livvy Dunn, Carmelo Anthony Shine at 2025 Kentucky Derby
Another day in the never-ending circus of celebrity culture, and what an extravaganza it was at the 2025 Kentucky Derby. It’s as if the stars received a collective memo that read, “Dress fancy, drink mint juleps, and pretend you care about horses.” Among the attendees were TikTok sensation Livvy Dunn and NBA superstar Carmelo Anthony, both dazzling in their own rights—though one was definitely more horse than human in a sea of oversized hats. Dunn, with her usual flair for the dramatic, paired her outfit with a hat that could double as a small parachute. Meanwhile, Carmelo kept it classic, proving that sometimes less is more, unless you’re wearing a horse-themed tie, which he thankfully avoided.
The Derby is known for its equine athletes, but let’s face it—the real competition is in the fashion stakes. Who wore it best? The answer is always the one who didn’t trip over their own feet while trying to navigate the field in stilettos. Dunn and Anthony were joined by a cavalcade of other celebs, all seemingly competing for the title of “Most Likely to Fall Off a Horse.” Can you blame them? The Kentucky Derby is as much about the horses as it is about who can outshine whom with their sartorial choices.
As the day unfolded, the paparazzi snapped away like they were at a royal wedding, and the stars delivered the usual array of smiles, awkward poses, and “look at me” moments. One has to wonder: how many selfies does it take to capture the essence of a horse race? Apparently, the answer is “enough to break the internet.” Among the other notable attendees were a few reality TV stars who, let’s be honest, probably didn’t know a horse from a hole in the ground but were there to ensure their faces were plastered all over social media.
And then there were the horses themselves—glistening, majestic creatures that were, for a fleeting moment, the second-most important thing at the Derby. The first? The celebrities, of course, who made sure to remind us all that they were, in fact, there. As the day wound down, the real question remained: who will get the last word on social media? Spoiler alert: it’ll be the one with the most followers, and we all know how that game is played.
Let’s pretend we learned something today about horses and hats. Stay tuned for more tales of unbridled ambition and questionable fashion choices.
