Taking inspiration from Audrey Hepburn\u2019s iconic dress in the 1954 film Sabrina, Ivanka wore a modern recreation of the timeless piece. Crafted by the French fashion house Givenchy, the white dress featured black floral embroidery, a subtle train, and paired with black opera gloves, stiletto heels, a diamond choker, and a sleek chignon hairstyle. The ensemble closely mirrored Hepburn\u2019s original, drawing both admiration and criticism.\n

Some praised Ivanka for her elegance and the homage to Hepburn, applauding the choice as a nod to timeless class and sophistication. Among her supporters was Hepburn\u2019s son, Sean Hepburn Ferrer, who acknowledged the tribute and noted the long-standing admiration for his mother\u2019s legacy. He described it as a fitting gesture, especially given the significance of the occasion, coinciding with the anniversary of Hepburn\u2019s passing and Martin Luther King Jr. Day.\n

However, not everyone was as kind. Critics online questioned the execution of the gown, with some claiming it lacked the finesse of Hepburn\u2019s original. Others took issue with the connection to Audrey Hepburn, arguing that the late actress\u2019s values clashed with the Trump family\u2019s politics. One particularly harsh comment stated, \u201cAudrey Hepburn would curse them all. She didn\u2019t survive WWII and fight against everything the Trump family represents just for her dress to be used like this.\u201d\n

On the other hand, fans defended Ivanka\u2019s choice, emphasizing her beauty and the thoughtfulness behind the homage. Many admired the dress as a bold and tasteful statement, fitting for the high-profile event.
