One celebrity favorite leading the style races this year was Sheryl Lee Ralph. Spotted on the red carpet during two derby events, the Abbott Elementary star brought Hollywood’s glitz and glamour to the historical horse-racing event.
Let’s get into her derby-style details.
On May 3, Sheryl attended the Barnstable Brown Gala, which Conde Nast has dubbed one of “the ten best parties in the world.” Held since 1989 at the Barnstable Brown family home, the invite-only party raises money for diabetes research.
For the fundraising event, Sheryl rocked a sleeveless white gown with black details, including a large black bow at the neckline and small rosettes adorned throughout. Sheryl complemented her look with simple jewelry and glam hair and makeup.
