Some people come to the Kentucky Derby to see the horses run, others come for the dramatic hats, but we're all about what's hidden underneath — the hair and makeup. With such extravagant headwear on display, the beauty look is often toned down. So it's a good think we have an obsession with hat hair! The celebrities found chic ways to style their strands to suit each of their hats. The makeup was also carefully chosen to complement the colors of the Summer dresses and the fierce fascinators. Keep reading to see all the glamorous beauty at the Louisville, KY, races.
Lindsay Ellingson
Typically Lindsay is accustomed to walking down the runway, but at the Kentucky Derby, she went for a more casual beauty look. Her eyes were accented with smoky shadow, and her lips were glossed in pink. Lindsay pulled back her hair into a sleek pony to make room for a gorgeous burgundy fascinator.
Sarah Hyland
Sarah attended the Kentucky Derby with a feathered fascinator atop her caramel blond bob. Her makeup look for the event was a subtle mix of champagne shadow and neutral lip gloss.
Vanessa Lachey
Vanessa may have had the best arm candy at the Kentucky Derby with husband Nick at her side. For the races, she wore her hair pulled over to one side and a bright red lip that balanced out her oversize hat.
Tara Lipinski
We could barely distinguish Tara's honey blond curls from the braided, pastel hairpiece she wore at the Kentucky Derby. Her makeup was simple with bold brows and a pink pout.
Kendra Wilkinson
Silver eye makeup and inky eyeliner complemented Kendra's wide-brimmed hat at the Kentucky Derby. She styled her hair sleek and straight underneath the headpiece.
Star Jones
Star may have had the biggest hat at the Derby, so she pared down her beauty look to a simple bun and a nude lip color.
Emily West
Actress Emily West wore a muted palette of colors on her hat and dress, so her bold red lip drew all the attention to her face. Meanwhile, her hair was curled into retro waves that cascaded over one shoulder.
