Ivanka Trump’s attire for Monday’s 2025 Liberty Inaugural Ball in Washington drew criticism from some quarters.
If you haven’t been living under a rock, you are aware that earlier this week, Ivanka Trump, her father, who has always been both amusing and controversial, was formally sworn in as president. The day signaled the start of Trump’s second term as US president. The real estate tycoon previously served from 2017 to 2021.
As was inevitable, internet users worldwide closely watched and analyzed nearly every aspect of Trump’s historic day. Elon Musk’s alleged “Nazi salute,” Melania Trump’s hat choice, and would-be lip readers have all been the subject of attention in the days after the presidential inauguration. They have also tried to figure out what Barron Trump may or may not have said to Joe Biden.
Simply said, not much went unnoticed on the day of the inauguration, and it appears that even something as innocuous as a dress can spark intense online discussion.
Ivanka Trump, Donald Trump’s daughter, wore the dress while she advised her father during his first term in government.
We will now take this occasion to openly state our opinion that (within reason, of course) no one should ever be chastised or called out for what they chose to wear.
Nevertheless, the internet will always do what it does best, which is to serve as a haven for remarks that don’t give a damn about morality, decency, or anything else. Put another way, people will always comment on celebrities’ hairstyles, wardrobe selections, speaking patterns, and other behaviors.
As previously said, Ivanka Trump was the one who seemed to incite the wrath of certain internet users with her attire selection for the Inauguration Day Liberty Ball. Ivanka wore a replica of Audrey Hepburn’s dress from the 1954 movie Sabrina, drawing inspiration from one of the most significant female icons of the past century.
Hubert de Givenchy is credited with creating the distinctive outfit, which makes it even more striking. The French design label Givenchy is said to have created Ivanka’s version, a white gown with a short train and black floral embroidery.
In addition, Ivanka donned a chignon, a diamond necklace, stiletto heels, and a pair of black opera gloves that reached her elbows. These accessories nearly identically matched Hepburn’s original.
Ivanka looked stunningly gorgeous in the dress, but as is so frequently the case these days, some people felt compelled to provide criticism.
One especially scathing internet user said, “The more I examine the details, the more ridiculous this becomes.”
Another said: “Ivanka’s rendition lacks the same elegance and has cartoonish-looking texture and embroidery. Hepburn cannot be compared.
A third decided to criticize the alleged Hepburn connection, writing: “Audrey Hepburn would curse them all.” She fought against all the Trump family stands for and didn’t make it through World War II, just for her outfit to be used like this. incredibly shameful.
Another said, “Audrey would have hated Ivanka and her family.”
Naturally, this only proves one side of the debate, and it must be acknowledged that many people praised Ivanka’s appearance and choice of outfit for the evening.
Sean Hepburn Ferrer, Hepburn’s son, said that given their close familial ties, it was “no wonder” that Ivanka decided to honor his late mother.
He told DailyMail, “It is understandable that she chose to look up to our mother, who was a household name growing up, in order to find the ultimate elegance and class reference for an occasion like this one – the inauguration and the 32nd anniversary of our mother’s passing, and, most importantly, Martin Luther King’s day.” “What a concoction!”
It seems evident that Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner, will not be going back to work in the White House during Donald’s second term.
