The 2021 Kentucky Derby Festival Queen is Giavanna Combs.
The five women who made up the 2020 Royal court rolled over to represent the festival in 2021.

Each woman on the 2021 Royal Court will receive a $2,000 scholarship ($1,000 from the Fillies and $1,000 from the Kentucky Derby Festival Foundation).
