Anna Nicole Smith and Larry Birkhead’s Daughter Dannielynn, 18, Gets Tearful Talking About Her Late Mom


Dannielynn Birkhead is feeling close to her late mother Anna Nicole Smith through fashion at the Barnstable Brown Gala ahead of the 2025 Kentucky Derby. The 18-year-old attended the event, as she does every year, with her father Larry Birkhead.

While attending the annual Barnstable Brown Gala Friday, May 2 ahead of Saturday’s 2025 Kentucky Derby, the 18-year-old daughter of the model and Larry Birkhead told reporters that this year’s gown held a special meaning. Dannielynn showed all the angles, which served as a nod to how her mother wore the piece just over two decades ago. " It was emotional because the last time I saw that dress was on Anna," Birkhead, 52, told PEOPLE at the gala on Friday.
