- Men’s style at the Kentucky Derby is no longer a subdued counterpart to women’s bright and elevated fashion. Today, bold blazers, pastel trousers, sharp tailoring, and pocket squares command just as much attention as any wide‑brimmed hat or flirty fascinator.
The familiar uniform of khakis and conservative jackets has given way to something far more expressive. With its blend of tradition, pageantry, and spring exuberance, the Kentucky Derby has become as a stage where men not only can dress with intention and flair, they genuinely enjoy it.
"Today’s Derby look is about personality, whether that means a sharply tailored, elevated ensemble or a more relaxed, playful approach," said fashion expert Jo Ross. "The goal isn’t to blend in, it’s to show up to 'Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports' with confidence, a sense of fun and a commitment to your style."

- Ashley Young first learned to take flight in Room 140.
While her feet were firmly planted on the white linoleum floor at Nelson County High School, suspended from the ceiling tiles above the Air Force Junior ROTC cadet’s head were model airplanes of stealth bombers and fighter jets.
She would go on to graduate from Nelson County, join UofL's ROTC program, enlist in the Air Force and marry her husband Greg, changing her last name from Young to Pruitt.
It was during that service to others, and to her country, that she died on March 12 in the line of duty.
In "friendly airspace" in western Iraq, her KC-135 Stratotanker, a refueling aircraft, crashed in what U.S. Central Command officials said was an accidental mid-air collision during Operation Epic Fury, the U.S. military operation against Iran which launched Feb. 28.
Ashley B. (Young) Pruitt, 34, and five other airmen perished.
