Ivanka Trump’s 12 Most Questionable Fashion Choices  (2 of 7)

2. Ivanka Trump’s Fashion Faux Pas Amidst the COVID-19 Crisis

In early 2020, Ivanka Trump wore a floral Proenza Schouler dress during a trip to India, where she posed in front of the Taj Mahal. The dress, adorned with crimson flowers, seemed harmless at first but soon sparked controversy when its design was compared to the appearance of the COVID-19 virus under a microscope. With the virus beginning to spread in the U.S. at the time, the dress became a focal point for criticism, with some calling it tone-deaf given the global crisis. Others defended her for re-wearing the dress, highlighting its sustainable aspect. However, the timing of the outfit drew more attention than the fashion itself, revealing how fashion choices can unintentionally clash with political and social realities.

The dress sparked mixed reactions online. While some X users criticized it, others applauded Ivanka for being environmentally conscious by re-wearing the same dress she had worn in Argentina back in September 2019.
