The 15-year-old attended the Barnstable Brown Gala in the black pantsuit, oversize belt and newsboy cap that the “Rhythm Nation” singer wore to the same pre-Kentucky Derby event in 2003.

“It was purchased as a part of Janet’s @juliens_auctions benefitting charity,” Dannielynn’s father, Larry Birkhead, explained in an Instagram postadding the hashtag “#prouddad.”

The father-daughter duo also had a chance to meet and take a picture with Jackson, 55, at the gala.

“What a night! … Janet was so gracious and complimentary of Dannielynn in her outfit,” Larry 49, captioned a follow-up post. “She made Dannielynn so happy and even graciously posed for a photo with us.”

Larry shared that he planned to take his teenage daughter to “her first @janetjackson concert,” too. The Grammy winner, who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2019, and R&B group New Edition are set to co-headline a show at the Lynn Family Stadium in Louisville, Ky., Saturday night.

The Birkheads are regular fixtures at the Kentucky Derbywhere Larry and Smith met in the early 2000s and sparked a romance.

The couple welcomed Dannielynn in 2006, just five months before the Playboy model died of an accidental drug overdose at the age of 39.

Larry said in a “20/20” special in 2021 that Dannielynn “doesn’t really know a ton of things about her mom” as she was only a baby when Smith died.
