Anna Nicole Smith's daughter Dannielynn Birkhead wears mom's dress on Kentucky Derby eve
Anna Nicole Smith's daughter Dannielynn Birkhead wears mom's dress on Kentucky Derby eve Show Caption Hide Caption Kentucky Derby 2025: Baffert's return, and Journalism is the horse to watch Previewing the 151st Kentucky Derby, focusing on Journalism's chances and Bob Baffert's return. Dannielynn Birkhead is honoring her late mom Anna Nicole Smith for the Kentucky Derby. On the eve of the 2025 event, Birkhead wore her mom's dress to the annual Barnstable Brown Gala on May 2. Her mom wore the same gown — a floor-length black dress with crystal-adorned front and back straps — to the same gala in 2004. "Dannielynn is wearing Anna Nicole's dress that she wore 21 years ago to this same event. Life full circle. She said she chose the dress because it was her Mom's and 'super cool,' " the 18-year-old's dad Larry Birkhead wrote on Instagram. Since its inception in 1989, the star-studded Barnstable Brown Gala has donated more than $21 million for diabetes treatment and research from the proceeds of the annual party. The affair is hosted by local philanthropist Patricia Barnstable-Brown and her son Chris Barnstable-Brown at the family's private mansion in Louisville, Kentucky, where the derby takes place. Revelations from Anna Nicole Smith doc: Her pill addiction, marriage and more Smith's ex-boyfriend and professional photographer, 52, opened up to People magazine about watching his daughter wear the dress, which had been in storage "for years." "It was emotional because the last time I saw that dress was on Anna," Birkhead said. The Kentucky native, who met Smith at the Barnstable Gala in 2003, a year before she originally wore the dress, added that when his daughter "was a little girl, she walked over and she put her hand on the dress and now that she's actually old enough to wear it, it just seems surreal that we're at this moment." The father-daughter duo has famously attended the Kentucky Derby — typically their annual public outing — since the latter was three years old, but Birkhead revealed that their yearly date "was really born out of the babysitter cancelling on me the first year I brought her." This year's attendance comes 18 years after Smith's death at 39 sent shockwaves through the world, from her little-known hometown outside of Houston to Hollywood. On Feb. 8, 2007, Smith collapsed in a hotel room at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood in Florida and later died at a hospital. According to an autopsy obtained by CNN and performed by the Broward County Medical Examiner's office in Fort Lauderdale, Smith's death was ruled an accident. Anna Nicole Smith's daughter wears dress to Kentucky Derby in 'fashion experiment,' dad says Dannielynn's dad said the dress is "a little edgier" than her other wardrobe choices, telling the entertainment outlet that he spends "over $200,000 in storage bills" to preserve Smith's items. "I think she's doing a fashion experiment for herself," Birkhead told People. "Also, I think it's really meaningful for her to wear. I'm just glad she's going through and starting to wear some of (Smith's clothes) because she could literally pick out an outfit a day for the rest of her life and never wear the same thing twice with everything." He continued: "(I) just hope that she would appreciate some of these things someday, she's just now starting to get into the curiosity of some of the fashion and things in her mom's world."

Billy Joel Postpones Concerts Due to Medical Concerns
Originally appeared on E! Online Billy Joel may be the piano man, but he won't be singing his song tonight. The 75-year-old revealed he is currently recovering from a recent medical procedure and has postponed eight of his upcoming concert stops, in some cases by over a year. 'Billy Joel's upcoming concert dates will be rescheduled due to a medical condition,' a statement shared to the musician's Instagram March 11 read. 'The current tour will be postponed for four months to allow him to recover from recent surgery and to undergo physical therapy under the supervision of his doctors.' For his part, Joel, who said he is expected to make a full recovery from the undisclosed procedure, shared his sadness at having to reschedule his tour dates. 'While I regret postponing any shows, my health must come first,' he added in the statement. 'I look forward to getting back on stage and sharing the joy of live music with our amazing fans. Thank you for your understanding.' And while Joel—whose upcoming dates also feature Stevie Nicks and Sting—most recently performed on Feb. 8 and Feb. 22, his newly-announced postponements aren't the only shows this year where the 'Uptown Girl' singer has had to adjust his scheduled performances. In fact, he revealed another delay in January due to a medical procedure. More from E!

Joel's international tour is currently scheduled through July 2026, but he has also reflected on how different it is to release new music in the present day, including the release of his single 'Turn the Lights Back On' in January 2024, his first new song to be released since 2007. 'I forgot how much work it is,' he told USA Today in April 2024. 'I used to do this on a regular basis: You go on the road, go back home and write, record the songs, then make the video, promote it, yadda, yadda, yadda. I hadn't done it in so long. It's head spinning and different from what I remember.' For the latest breaking news updates, click here to download the E! News App
