Dannielynn Birkhead FAMILY TRADITIONS

THE DAUGHTER OF ANNA NICOLE SMITH IS ENJOYING A QUIET LIFE

- Dannielynn Birkhead

Bearing a striking resemblance to her late mother, glamour model Anna Nicole Smith, 17-year-old Dannielynn Birkhead wowed in a red gown at this year's Kentucky Derby.

The teen, who just graduated high school, attends the Derby and the Barnstable Brown Gala every year with her father Larry Birkhead, 51. It's poignant because it's the same event where Larry met Dannielynn's mother in 2003.

"I think the one year the babysitter cancelled. And then it became I brought her when she was able to kind of walk and do her own thing down the carpet, and then it became a tradition," Larry told E! News.

“I brought her back here for a reason because it was something that was special. And it’s become a tradition for us out of me meeting her mum here,” he continued.
