A Day at The Oaks: Fashion, Florals, and Fillies
There’s something undeniably enchanting about The Oaks. Held each year on the Friday before the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs, The Kentucky Oaks is one of the most prestigious horse races in the country—and one of the oldest, dating back to 1875. Unlike the Derby, The Oaks is a race exclusively for three-year-old fillies and has become a beloved tradition known just as much for its fashion as its fierce competition. It’s also a day dedicated to women’s health, with a powerful pink theme honoring the fight against breast cancer.
