Ivanka Trump faces backlash for Audrey Hepburn-inspired ball gown

Ivanka Trump’s appearance at the 2025 Liberty Inaugural Ball sparked intense online debate, with her gown stealing the spotlight. The event, celebrating Donald Trump’s second presidential inauguration, drew global attention, and Ivanka’s outfit became a focal point.

Inspired by Audrey Hepburn’s 1954 Sabrina gown, the modern Givenchy recreation featured black floral embroidery on white fabric, a subtle train, black opera gloves, stiletto heels, and a diamond choker. Hepburn’s son, Sean Hepburn Ferrer, praised the tribute, calling it a thoughtful nod to his mother’s legacy, especially on the anniversary of her passing and Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Opinions were sharply divided. Supporters admired Ivanka’s elegance, describing her look as a “bold and tasteful statement.” Critics, however, argued the gown fell short of Hepburn’s timeless finesse, with some accusing Ivanka of misappropriating Hepburn’s image. One detractor harshly remarked, “Audrey Hepburn would curse them all,” citing conflicts between Hepburn’s values and the Trump family’s politics.

Amid the controversy, Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner announced they wouldn’t hold roles in the new administration. Still, Ivanka’s style and influence continue to generate headlines, fueling debate over whether her choice was a tribute to grace or a misstep.
