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.
Yes. It looks like a high-low hemline, which is dated and definitely ups the David's Bridal vibes.
White is NOT a great color for Ivanka, her hair is making her look incredibly harsh, which also throws off the delicate feel of the dress, and it's actually kind of "too young" for her. BAD.

I finally figured out how to post image.I love the pattern on the dress but the saggy cleavage. . . .depressing.
That neckline and resulting cleavage is tragic. Did she look in a mirror?
So many celebrities resemble each other - Kim makes me sad to see her, but I also think Carrie Underwood is heading in this direction. It looks like they used the same plastic surgeon, and in 5-10 years, Carrie will look like this with blonde hair. Ugh.

Did somebody actually post Audrey wearing it or not? Did I miss it? It would be helpful

“Even the most generous interpretation of her decision to recreate this iconic piece of Hollywood history—as an homage to the late Audrey—is exhausting in its unoriginality.
It’s probably pointless to speculate what Hepburn, a member of the Dutch resistance that sheltered Jews amid the Holocaust, would’ve thought of the Trump administration and the neo-Nazis he just pardoned.
If Ivanka’s intention was to honor Hepburn’s legacy, she could’ve done so in countless other ways—none of which involve her father’s administration.”
