Ivanka Trump faces backlash for Audrey Hepburn-inspired dress

January 20, 2025, marked the beginning of Trump’s second stint as President of the United States. He held office from 2017 to 2021 during his first presidential term.

As expected, all of his children were present at the inauguration, which was watched by millions of people not only from the States but also beyond.

Among the rest, people commented on Melania Trump’s choice of outfit, especially her hat, and were interested to learn what Barron Trump told Joe Biden and Kamala Harris when he approached to shake hands with them.

Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, wasn’t spared from comments about her looks either. Her choice of dress, inspired by the one worn by iconic actress Audrey Hepburn, caused a stir on the social media, with people having divided opinions.

For the Liberty Ball on Inauguration Day, Ivanka opted for a recreated version of the gown that Audrey Hepburn donned in the 1954 film Sabrina.

The original dress was designed by Hubert de Givenchy. Ivanka’s replica, which featured black floral embroidery and a brief train, was styled by the prestigious French label Givenchy.

The business mogul-turned-president’s daughter donned elbow-length black opera gloves, stiletto heels, a diamond choker, and a chignon. So, it’s safe to say that she was eager to mirror Hepburn’s original look, and she pulled it off flawlessly.

However, as much as some loved the way she looked, there were those who criticized Ivanka Trump for her outfit.

The longer I look at the details, the more laughable this becomes,” someone commented.

“The texture and the embroidery on Ivanka’s version look cartoonish, and it lacks the same finesse. Hepburn is incomparable,” another added.

“Audrey would have despised Ivanka and her family,” someone else wrote. 

Hepburn’s son, Sean Hepburn Ferrer, broke his silence over Ivanka’s looks and said it was ‘no wonder’ the First Daughter chose to pay tribute to the late actress due to their long-standing family ties.

“It is no wonder that growing up in a family which knew our mother as a household name she chose to draw inspiration from her, to seek the ultimate elegance and class reference, for an occasion such as this one – the inauguration and the 32nd anniversary of our mother’s passing and, most of all, Martin Luther King’s day,” he told DailyMail. “What a cocktail!”
