Ivanka Trump’s fashion choices have seldom strayed into risqué territory, yet her wardrobe has seen its share of controversy. Let’s look at some of her most controversial fashion choices:
The Glittering Silver Dress
The dress itself, flamboyant yet expected given her Trump lineage, isn’t the main issue. The problem arises from the timing of her showcasing this $5000 Carolina Hererra outfit on social media. This came soon after Donald Trump declared the Muslim Ban, resulting in children getting separated from their parents. Critics were quick to contrast her lavish attire with the children wrapped in aluminum sheets, pointing out the huge wealth inequality.
The Non-American Dress
This dress caused controversy for several reasons. Costing around $2000, this creation by French designer Roland Mouret was made in the UK. However, Ivanka chose to wear it to her father’s first speech to Congress, in which he emphasized the need of buying American goods made by Americans.
The Self-Advertising Dress
Ivanka wore a blush-colored outfit for her RNC speech, which would’ve been fine until she decided to monetize it. She posted a link to buy a similar dress on her Twitter account. As it was an affiliate link, she profited from every purchase made through it. Critics found it greedy, considering her wealth and financial status.
