But even though in recent years the event has morphed into a D-list parade to rival the Daytime Emmy awards, apparently the Kentucky Derby is also a 200-year-old horse race, with all the jockeys, and bridles, and horses that are publicly put down post-race that that entails. (Who knew?) Which begs the question: what does one wear to a horrible, tragic horse euthanization? And who attends such things? Let's have a look:
If you're Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag, you wear a seersucker suit that can cause ocular lesions, and Laura-Ashley-for-Wet-Seal desperation, respectively.
If you're on Entourage, congratulations! You're probably the biggest fake star at the Derby. You can wear a scruffy beard and shaggy mop that say, "I take horse euthanization very seriously," and escort a bolt of Pucci fabric pinned to a hat with a model in between that says, "I was paid to be here."
If you're a judge on a reality show: you're also invited. If you're noted, like Noted Fashion Photographer Nigel Barker, you wear a leftover costume from Dick Tracy
But, if you're a former NSYNC member turned game show host, you are obliged to wear the shiniest suit in existence, for easy identification/avoidance, like Joey Fatone.
And, of course, if you're Hugh Hefner, you just show up with 3 life-size Madame Alexander dolls.
