Since there are so many different events going on in the infield at Churchill Downs during the Kentucky Derby, dressing for the event can range from formal to casual. I've put together three winning looks that will look great whether you're at Churchill Downs or at a watch party!
Win: You can never go wrong with a timeless look for the Kentucky Derby. Designer Diane Von Furstenberg knows how to create classic dresses that make a woman feel beautiful, and this multi-colored woven twill dress is sure to turn heads at the races. The fun touches of the horse necklace and rose rings are a great compliment to the accent of gold that are on the orange pumps and large brim hat!

Place: The watercolor background on this H&M dress caught my eye and I thought it provided a great contrast from the black horses. I decided to work with that neutral color palette by adding the fascinator, earrings and clutch. As much as I love heels, you may be walking around a lot while in the infield, so those Victoria's Secret flats may be the way to go!
