Attendees to the Kentucky Derby live by the motto, go big or go home. So while the jockeys are small, the hats are everything but. Standouts of this year's pack: a horrific doll-encrusted chapeau, actress Sarah Hyland's feathered on floral situation, and Johnny Weir's ro-hawk, as in mohawk made of roses.
