Dannielynn Birkhead is switching up her style.
The daughter of Anna Nicole Smith and Larry Birkhead debuted a short platinum haircut with black tips at the Barnstable Brown Gala in Louisville, Ky., on Friday, the night before the Kentucky Derby.
"I feel like a vampire, which is the goal every day," shetoldAccess Hollywood on Friday. "That's like my life's goal, is to look like a vampire every day."
When asked which kind of vampire, she replied, "LikeInterview with the Vampire, modern-ish."
Birkhead alsotold PEOPLEthat comparisons to her late mother "always make me feel good, because I love my mom."
However, she clarified that she doesn't want to be defined by her parents. "She's super pretty, and I like being compared to her in the sense of like, 'Oh, I'm pretty too.' But I also like being known as my own person," she told PEOPLE. "Because it's always like, 'Anna Nicole Smith's daughter,' and never just Dannielynn. So I'm hoping my look right now will kind of help with that in a way."

Birkhead expressed similar sentiments to Access Hollywood. "I just want people to know that I love my mom, and she's so beautiful, but I'm also my own person, obviously," she said. "And I hope that's a bit more clear now."
She also explained how her new 'do reflects what she's learned about herself and her worldview since beginning college. "I learned to just be myself and not let anything stop me," she said. "Someone's like, 'Hey you actually can't do your hair like that.' Who cares! I'm doing it. I'm not gonna let someone dictate what I wanna do or who I wanna be, because life is short, and I think you should be who you wanna be, no matter what."
Birkhead added, "I probably feel the most confident and happy and like myself I've ever felt right now."
Birkhead's father, Larry Birkhead,discussedhis daughter's new look in an interview with PEOPLE. "This year is a different style for Dannielynn," he said. "People [are] always looking for her to wear something of her mom. And she's done that a couple times, but this is kind of Dannielynn showing off her own sense of style, and she said it's a goth rock theme."
