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

11. Fashion Missteps in Buckingham Palace

In 2019, Ivanka visited Buckingham Palace for a formal event with her father, President Trump. However, her outfit—a collared dress that was considered too casual for a white-tie event—was widely criticized. Critics and fashion experts alike pointed out that the ensemble wasn’t appropriate for the occasion, further solidifying the notion that Ivanka sometimes struggled to dress for the occasion.

This incident exemplified how her clothing choices often clashed with the political events she attended, drawing attention away from the substance of her role and focusing instead on her fashion missteps.

12. A Dystopian Moment at the Inauguration

During the 2025 Donald Trump’s inauguration, Ivanka’s dark green outfit with an asymmetrical jacket and matching hat was met with mixed reactions. Some viewers pointed out its eerie similarity to outfits worn by characters in The Handmaid’s Tale, a novel that explores themes of authoritarianism and the oppression of women. Given the context of the inauguration, some saw her choice of color and style as a statement—unintentional or not—on the role of women in the new political order.
