Influencers and celebrities have flocked to a popular event in the US to watch a horse race and show off expensive outfits.
The Kentucky Derby was held on Saturday and had many pre and post-events requiring extravagant outfits. However, not everyone was happy with the excessive attire.
Many influencers shared their glamorous looks on social media and were quickly labelled as “District One” citizens.
One person even commented, “I”M WATCHING THE HUNGER GAMES RIGHT NOW.”
US influencer Alix Earl wore a pink-themed outfit to the Kentucky Oaks, which was held the day before the Derby.
“I’m also presenting an award today, and I have to be ready to speak and ready to go,” Alix told Tiktok while getting ready.
“I’m actually a little bit nervous that the conservative people here are going to be like, what are her boobs doing?
“But I think it’s cute, and it’s young and fun”
TikToker Destinee Moreh did a price breakdown of the Get Read With Me star’s outfit.
She found the Peplum Buster Dress was $16,000 USD.
The B-Buzz Dynasty bag was $2,995 USD and her Cartier watch was $21,000.
Followers loved the outfit, commenting, “Your best look ever!”
To the Kentucky Derby, Alix wore a more conservative white dress with a pair of elegant black shoes and a black bag.
Some fans were concerned for the welfare of the horses.
“Cute fit but please don’t support the horse racing industry,” one person said.
Another commented, “Love your outfit, but please don’t support horse racing. So many horses break their legs and die. Please please please.”
In 2022, Jack Harlow and Drake filmed the music video Churchill Downs at the Derby.
