She looked beautiful and the gown was custom. It was daring (for American fashion tbh, Americans are less daring, esp first ladies) and unusual for an inaugural gown.

Ivanka followed suit. They both looked fantastic.

Oooh, this is beautiful… another +1 for Ivanka! Finally the woman leverages her best asset… her beautiful figure, in a normal way. -OP

That is GORGEOUS. The fit, the line, the all of it.

Absolutely stunning.

It looks like a dress from David’s Bridal.

Nailed it! Just tacky. So many amazing designers out there and this is the best she can do? Looks like something my 8 year old DD might have picked out for princess dress up.

DP. You know it’s a redesign by Givenchy, right? It’s absolutely gorgeous.

Yes absolutely. And it may have been lovely in the ‘50s on a 25 year old in a movie. Totally ridiculous princess fantasy today.

Disagree. It was beautiful. DP.

In the end, for me, she does cheapen it, even though it is a beautiful dress.

First I find the length a little bit awkward on her. It’s hitting at her… calves? Instead of taking advantage of her height and wearing something flowy there’s this weird hard stop at her calves.

Then the pattern. This is a dress that is so iconic and was worn by such a petite person and while Ivanka is not fat, she is really tall and the negative space of the pattern is off on her larger (ha!) body. It seems like there’s more white and less pattern and it looks off.

The dress is so perfect, and was so perfect, and on Ivanka it’s not the same.

I sort of blame Givenchy the fashion house for indulging Ivanka on this. There are so many ways to do an homage without producing a carbon copy. A dress with a different pattern, different cut, color…

The length seems off to me also.

What is with her eyebrows? So dark! Are they Micro-bladed or is it her dark eye makeup that gives that effect? Too much!

Piggy-backing on prior successes from other people; no ideas or confidence in her own ability to do it with a designer herself.

It was merely a copy. It was not re-imagined to suit Ivanka’s personality, figure, coloring, or stage of life. Ivanka had the opportunity to shine in her own light in an equally classic way. Instead, she chose a costume. And one that has an unsettling “mutton dressed as lamb” effect, at that.

It’s not an homage though….

It’s a copy made by the same designer. Some people have no sense of self and must copy others. Her day dress was a copy of Megan Markle. Her dress for Tiffany’s wedding was a copy of Grace Kelley. Melania, of course, copied a dress of Jackie O and a speech by Michelle Obama.

It’s a 100% copy. She did the same thing with her maid of honor dress at her sisters wedding- it was an iconic dress Grace Kelly wore in To Catch a Thief.

I don't have photos but I'm pretty sure she's copied other famous dresses before. I think she definitely does this.

Remember red corona virus/COVID red patterned dress that she wore to India right at the beginning of the pandemic? It’s hard to find a pic of that dress on the internet now.
