Ivanka Trump Can Recreate Audrey Hepburn’s Gown, but She’s Not Fooling Anyone

seems to be looking backward.On January 20 the first daughter attended the 2025 inaugural ball in a recreation of the gown Audrey Hepburn wore in 1954’s Sabrina, which was custom-made for the actor by her longtime collaborator, Hubert de Givenchy.The white dress, which features a striking black floral embroidery and a brief train, is a timeless choice.

However, Ivanka chose to lean into the vintage aesthetic with her styling choices.The 43-year-old paired the gown, for her by the French fashion house Givenchy, with elbow-length black opera gloves, stiletto heels, a diamond choker necklace, and a chignon.

The look is nearly identical to how Hepburn herself is styled in the film, the black gloves swapped in for white ones.Audrey Hepburn as the ugly duckling turned beauty queen Sabrina Fairchild and William Holden as charming millionaire playboy Linus Larrabee.Ivanka, who attended the inaugural ceremonies earlier in the day in a forest green Dior skirt suit and matching beret, seemed to appeal to a more traditional conservative aesthetic with her choice, drawing on 1950s and ’60s femininity.

She stood in contrast to the more overtly sexual ensembles worn by her fellow attendees like Jeff Bezos’s fiancée Lauren Sanchez, who attended the inauguration in a under a blazer and the inaugural ball in a dramatic corseted gown.The conservative obsession with the past versus the progressives’ desire to look to the future has also never been so literally represented.
