Best and Worst Dressed at the 2009 Kentucky Derby: Paris Hilton

Love her or hate her, Paris Hilton always gives us something to talk about. I thought Paris looked "Hot" at the 2009 Kentucky Derby. Here she is pictured, wearing a dress with a black floral lace overlay, a silver cuff, a black Chanel bag with silver chain handle, and instead of a hat like everyone else, she is sporting a ultra cute headband. We like!

 

Best and Worst Dressed at the 2009 Kentucky Derby: Kim Kardashian

Kim Kardashian looks absolutely stunning in this simple white dress, lace gloves, and ultra fabulous grey hat with a leather clutch and her big sunglasses. Her look is clean and simple with a touch of rocker with the lacey gloves and ultra glamorous accessories. We give her a thumbs up for her style at the 2009 Kentucky Derby.

 

Best and Worst Dressed at the 2009 Kentucky Derby: Aretha Franklin

Aretha Franklin is not having a lot of luck with hats this year. She is sporting a saucer bowl hat here at the 135th Annual Kentucky Derby. Her hats are definitely memorable, but not so flattering. Oh well, why would she care? She's Aretha Franklin, she can do what she wants!
