The Kentucky Derby is best known as the premiere horse racing event of the year.  It's second-best-known for the crazy hats that woman wear to watch the Derby.  Here are the best (or worst...)

Above  is Bonnie-Jill Laflin.  Should I know who she is?  I had to google her....

Great hat, I probably have a purple boa leftover from a past Halloween costume stuffed in a closet at home that I could attach to a white cowboy hat.  Done.

Star Jones.  This is a pretty fantastic hat, too.  Though I don't think I can make a homemade version.  Buzzfeed put together a great list of hats/drunk people/celebrity sightings from the Derby this weekend and they explained this hat to a "T,"

"If My Little Pony were a dress and hat this is what it would look like."

That is a big hat, Cyndi Lauper.  A big hat.

My two favorites were Miranda Lambert and Mary J. Blige.  Great hats, great dresses.  Check out Miranda's shoes!
