Ivanka Trump faces backlash for Audrey Hepburn-inspired ball gown

Ivanka Trump’s appearance at the 2025 Liberty Inaugural Ball has sparked a heated online debate, with her choice of attire at the center of attention.
The ball marked the culmination of Donald Trump’s second presidential inauguration, an event that brought global scrutiny to every detail, including Ivanka’s striking gown.
Taking inspiration from Audrey Hepburn’s iconic dress in the 1954 film Sabrina, Ivanka wore a modern recreation of the timeless piece.

Crafted by the French fashion house Givenchy, the white dress featured black floral embroidery, a subtle train, and paired with black opera gloves, stiletto heels, a diamond choker, and a sleek chignon hairstyle.

The ensemble closely mirrored Hepburn’s original, drawing both admiration and criticism.
Some praised Ivanka for her elegance and the homage to Hepburn, applauding the choice as a nod to timeless class and sophistication.

Among her supporters was Hepburn’s son, Sean Hepburn Ferrer, who acknowledged the tribute and noted the long-standing admiration for his mother’s legacy. He described it as a fitting gesture, especially given the significance of the occasion, coinciding with the anniversary of Hepburn’s passing and Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
