7 Worst-Ever Presidential Family Fashion Choices (2 of 4)

Ivanka Trump Visiting the Royal Family

In June 2019, Ivanka Trump visited Buckingham Palace as part of an official state visit with her father, the President of the United States. Unfortunately, her fashion choices during this visit were not well received by the media and fashion critics. She wore a collared outfit to what was a very formal, white-tie event, and many believed strongly that she did not dress for the occasion of meeting with the royal family. 

This fashion faux pas garnered significant attention and criticism from the media and the public. While it is important to focus on the actions and policies of public figures, this is another example of how fashion choices can also have an impact on public perception and should be taken into consideration.

Ivanka Trump’s Dramatic Sleeves in Colombia

In December 2019, Ivanka Trump visited Colombia to promote her Women’s Empowerment Initiative and to speak at the General Santander Police Academy. She chose to wear a $1,650 dress by local designer Johanna Ortiz, but the focus wasn’t on her fashion choice. Instead, it was the dress’s large, fluttery sleeves that drew attention. During a photo session with Colombian and U.S. officials, a gust of wind caused the sleeves to flutter wildly. This incident, rather than her message, captured the U.S. media’s interest.
