Pursuitist had the good fortune to join event sponsor Longines for the 141st running of the Kentucky Derby and the Kentucky Oaks this past weekend in scenic Louisville, Kentucky.
We were there as the celebrities took to the red carpet, sipped Mint Juleps and signature “Lilly” cocktails and donned their finest hats. While some of the biggest names like Tom Brady and Christina Aguilera skipped the red carpet to go for a more low-key entrance, we did see lots of celebrities — Whitney Bischoff and Bob Guiney of The Bachelor, and About a Boy’s David Walton, to name a few, as well as, the boldfaced names below:
