The following day, the teen stunned in a red dress that featured large ruffled shoulder details.
"On the way to @kentuckyderby with Dannielynn after a great night at the Barnstable-Brown Gala and quick morning haircut or two. Dannielynn’s dress was inspired by her favorite character Hino Eiji, Kamen Rider OOO TaJaDor combo — she made me write that 😆 —because that character had the same shoulders as the design of the dress she found!" the photographer shared. "🤷♂️Hey whatever works, just trying to spend a little quality time as this weekend of traditions come to a close…#kentuckyderby #qualitytime #kamenrider."
Dannielynn recently graduated high school.
