As we mentioned earlier, the Kentucky Derby took place this past weekend.

While we won't discuss the tragic and untimely death of Eight Belles -- the horse who broke down after the race and had to be euthanized (R.I.P.) -- we do want to give a major shout out to Angie Shultz, hatmaker extraordinaire, for keeping all of the event images looking interesting.

Several of the over-the-top head pieces worn by some of our favorite celebs were made by the legendary designer.

In this clip, watch as the very proud southern woman explains to Wall Street Journal reporter Beckey Bright that a women's hat at the Kentucky Derby is the piece de resistance of her entire ensemble. Enjoy!
