Anna Nicole Smith's lookalike daughter Dannielynn, 18, wears late model's iconic dress
The 18-year-old attended the 2025 Barnstable Brown Gala while wearing the halter-styled black gown that Smith had donned at the same event 21 years earlier.
The fitted ensemble also contains a plunging neckline as well as a small slit on the front. Sparkling silver embellishments offer a flashy flare to the look on both the front and the back of the dress.
Dannielynn pulled her blonde locks up into a messy up do, allowing her side bangs to border the sides of her face - which was similar to Anna's hairstyle when she made an appearance at the gala in 2004.
Her father Larry Birkhead accompanied his daughter to the festivities on Friday in Kentucky - and uploaded photos to Instagram.
While posing with the teenager as she wore her late mother's gown, the photographer called the moment 'full circle.'
In the caption of the post, he penned: 'Kicking off @kentuckyderby weekend with Dannielynn. First up, The Barnstable-Brown Gala.
'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."'
He added, 'Next up the Kentucky Derby races. We are glad to spend time with my niece Chloe (pictured). I am going to try not an embarrass them with my dance moves.'
Before attending the gala on Friday, Larry told People that it was 'emotional' to see his daughter wearing her late mother's gown.
Anna Nicole passed away at the age of 39 in February 2007 - and her death was later ruled as an accidental drug overdose.
'It was emotional because the last time I saw that dress was on Anna,' Birkhead explained to the outlet, before recalling how Dannielynn 'walked over and she put her hand on the dress' when she was younger.
'And now that she's actually old enough to wear it, it just seems surreal that we're at this moment.'
The teen picked out her mother's dress to wear to the event and her father believes that 'she's doing a fashion experiment for herself. Also, I think it's really meaningful for her to wear.'

Larry continued, '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 currently is storing clothes that belonged to Anna in case his daughter wants them in the future.

Miley Cyrus goes totally nude and reveals massive rib tattoo on Perfect magazine cover
MILEY Cyrus has gone totally nude and revealed her massive rib tattoo on the Perfect magazine cover. Superstar Miley, 32, drove fans wild with her latest project as she shared the image on Instagram. 5 5 Perfect Magazine posted the image on Instagram and captioned it: "3 days with Miley. An 80 page special edition zine photographed by Paolo Roversi and Lynette Garland. "Styled by Katie Grand. A fashion epic (starting with no fashion). An instant classic. Cover 1/6. "Pre order now, link in bio, shipping 11th August." Miley looked sensational in the stylish black and white image with her flowing locks hanging loose over one shoulder. As she stared moodily at the camera, the stunning singer covered her modesty with an outstretched arm. She also showed off her magnificent dream catcher tattoo that she's had since 2011. Fans flocked to the comments section calling the superstar an icon and praising the image. And one fan wrote: "The woman you are!!! We love you Miley." Another added: "The Power of this woman." A third said: "OMG she broke the internet again." While another said: "Oh my goodness, are we back at the nakedness again. "I was so ready for her to shed all of that and focus on her talent… And be taken seriously. "Sorry guys I'm just not as impressed as you are." Miley revealed a few months ago that she was dashed to hospital after filming for her music video caused a shock illness. She explained her surprise stint in intensive care caused her to develop a nasty infection, despite only shooting on the popular Hollywood Walk of Fame. In a recent interview with DJ Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, Miley revealed she suffers from a large polyp on her vocal cords, as well as a condition called Reinke's edema - both of which make touring nearly impossible. Miley recently spoke out for the first time about speculation of a family rift after rumors of tension began circulating online. The 32-year-old singer addressed the rumors in a heartfelt statement shared to her Instagram Story, as she shut down the ongoing chatter around her mom Tish Cyrus-Purcell and her dad Billy Ray. She also addressed her relationship with her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, 62, acknowledging their complex relationship but insisting they are in a good place. In the past year, Billy Ray has found himself at the center of allegations of domestic abuse from Firerose, which he has denied. He also made headlines for a widely criticized performance at an inauguration event for former President Donald Trump, which was marred by technical issues and awkward moments. He is now dating Austin Powers actress Liz Hurley, 59. However, none of his six children including daughter Noah have liked or interacted with any of their posts together online. It comes as Miley's mom was last year accused of stealing husband Dominic Purcell from daughter Noah - and Noah was supposedly exiled from her mom's wedding. 5
