Kentucky Derby Shenanigans: Lachey and Minnillo

Cute dress on V. Min. I also saw this hat, except half that size, strapped to the side of the head of a girl at the market yesterday, who'd paired it with a "YEAH WHAT ABOUT IT??!" expression. I wanted to lean over into her shopping cart and explain that it's probably easier to fight society's uptight, bourgeois mores when you're not also in the middle of spending like $300 on organic, artisanal olives and hand-formed petit fours in the Whole Foods, but then I remembered that I don't know her life.

Kentucky Derby Shenanigans: Laura Bell Bundy

Laura BB looks cute, if a bit like she's about to be the bride in an impromptu garden-party wedding.

Kentucky Derby Shenanigans: Aubrey O'Day I

Does she look....OKAY?

Kentucky Derby Shenanigans: Aubrey O'Day

Phew. No, still crazy. Okay, I feel less unsettled now.

Kentucky Derby Shenanigans: Marissa Miller

"What? This is the Kentucky Derby? I thought I was going to the annual Great Gatsby bash at my cousin Marlo's place! Oh well. This will work for both, right? Someone give me a gin fizz."

Kentucky Derby Shenanigans: Erin Andrews

"QUICK! What's bigger: my hat, or my inseam?"

Kentucky Derby Shenanigans: Maria Menounos

I wish someone would make one of these hats automated so that a little doll version of the woman wearing it could pop out of it, wearing a yet even tinier version of said hat. It would be both extremely amusing and TOTALLY FREAKY.

Kentucky Derby Shenanigans: Miranda Lambert

OH GIRL.

Kentucky Derby Shenanigans: Paula Patton

Paula looks, I think, pretty darn adorable.

Kentucky Derby Shenanigans: Kate Gosselin

PEOPLE ARE STILL INVITING HER PLACES?

Kentucky Derby Shenanigans: Kate Walsh

Dear Kate Walsh

You look GREAT.

Well done!

Love,

The Universe

Kentucky Derby Shenanigans: Jennifer Tilly

"Wait. Where are Wills and Kate? What country is this? WHERE AM I?"

Kentucky Derby Shenanigans

TLC's Chilli looks pretty adorable, yes? I will not go chasing waterfalls in celebration thereof.

Kentucky Derby Shenanigans: Ian Somerhalder

Damon, I'm worried about your arm. Also, your razor appears to have gone missing.

Kentucky Derby Shenanigans: Tichina Arnold

Tichina looks a bit like she just wandered over from her church's pancake breakfast, but that doesn't mean she didn't look NICE at said breakfast.

Kentucky Derby Shenanigans: John Wall

This is, I think, a slam dunk -- no pun intended. Except Wall is a basketball player and therefore that pun was TOTALLY INTENDED.

Kentucky Derby Shenanigans: Taylor Dayne

Taylor Dayne! I'd tell it to your heart, but I'm scared you're bleeding out.

Kentucky Derby Shenanigans: Joey Fatone

Dude, JOEY FATONE IS ALIVE.

Kentucky Derby Fug and Fab Omnibus

It was a miracle of scheduling that the Royal Wedding -- replete with all variety of whimsical headgear -- happened just before the Kentucky Derby, and, in fact, just enough before the Kentucky Derby that everyone had still ample time to run out and buy a bigger, British Royalty-ier hat. For that, we say "thank you," and also, "hey, check out this slideshow of crazy hats people wore all over Kentucky this weekend."
