Kay Adams is back in the spotlight. After turning heads at a golf tournament in Mexico, the American sportscaster once again captivated fans—this time at the 2025 Kentucky Derby. Known for her confident and stylish presence, Adams went viral for her striking look at the Woodford Reserve Paddock Club during the 151st running of the Derby at Churchill Downs.
The former host of NFL Network’s Good Morning Football and current Up & Adams podcast host shared a short video clip on Instagram, highlighting her outfit and love for the event. “Up & Kentucky Oaks! #kentuckyderby,” she wrote, with “Kentucky Oaks” also appearing in the video text.
Adams wore a fitted, off-shoulder, floral-print midi dress in white, olive green, and yellow. Moreover, she paired it with pointed white heels, a matching white handbag, and classic sunglasses. It was an ensemble that perfectly blended elegance and Derby flair, indeed.
Kay Adams didn’t express her excitement for the Kentucky Derby for the first time this weekend. In fact, she’s been consistently engaging fans with her appearances at Churchill Downs. The former NFL Network host (2016–2022) surprised many by posting a striking Derby selfie on her Instagram story Friday.
After securing a premium hospitality spot, Adams highlighted the experience in her caption: “Best seats in the house & best eats in the business with @LevyRestaurants! Paddock Club. Unbelievable.” Her enthusiasm for the event was unmistakable.
The post quickly drew attention, with fans flooding the comments with praise. Adding to the buzz, Adams hosted a star-studded Friday episode of Up & Adams live from Churchill Downs. Her guest lineup included Hall of Fame QB Warren Moon, Rams WR Davante Adams, Panthers rookie WR Xavier Legette, NBC’s Mike Tirico, and celebrity chef Bobby Flay—making for a dynamic and engaging show.
Adams’ Derby outfit also earned widespread praise online. Interestingly, her appearance came just after she teased fans with a “Huge Summer” announcement, further fueling anticipation around her next move.
