Johnny Weir set the red carpet ablaze at Churchill Downs on Saturday. It's just the former figure skater's flamboyant way bringing his flair for fashion to the Kentucky Derby.

Weir, who made a fashion splash as a network host at the Winter Olympics in Sochi, joined dozens of athletes, musicians and actors getting the paparazzi treatment at the track's annual celebrity event Saturday afternoon.

His partner in broadcasting, former Olympic gold medalist Tara Lipinski, found herself overshadowed.

Musicians Miranda Lambert, Bon Jovi's Richie Sambora and Cheryl "Salt" James from Salt-N-Pepa made appearances for the paparazzi, along with former NBA star Scottie Pippen, the NFL's Ndamukong Suh and retired baseball player Ken Griffey Jr.

Actress Angela Bassett, Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino and Marlon and Jackie Jackson from the Jackson 5 also strolled down the red carpet.
