It's no Met Gala, but for celebrities and normals alike, Kentucky Derby hat fashion is a thing.

Fine, there are no Kardashians on this red carpet, but there are a bunch of people wearing big hats and fascinators. And is that Joey Fatone from NSYNC we see? Yes, wow. Yes, it is.

Larry David is also there, but -- surprise -- he is not wearing a hat.
