When it comes to the most controversially dressed women of the Trump family, the imagined "style showdown" inevitably narrows down to two contenders — Melania and Ivanka Trump. And while Melania has repeatedly made headlines for her daring fashion choices, Ivanka seems to have a unique talent for picking outfits that people can’t stop talking about. A prime example? Tiffany Trump's wedding rehearsal dinner in November 2022.
Though the event happened years ago, a single photo of Ivanka from that night continues to spark heated debate. The reason — her choice of attire, which many considered wildly inappropriate for the occasion.
The Night Before the Wedding: Dress Code and Defiance
Rehearsal dinners are typically elegant yet subdued affairs. The bride, groom, and guests usually opt for tasteful, wedding-appropriate outfits. Ivanka’s husband Jared Kushner and their children did just that, sticking to classic black formalwear. But Ivanka went in a completely different direction.
She showed up in a glitter-trimmed, two-piece pink outfit consisting of a cropped top with an open back and a matching skirt — something more suitable for a beach party than a formal pre-wedding event. The color, the sparkle, and the revealing cut led many to believe she was intentionally trying to steal the spotlight on a night that wasn’t hers.
Social Media Didn’t Hold Back
Ivanka didn’t just wear the outfit — she shared it on social media. And the comment section quickly lit up. One X (formerly Twitter) user wrote: “That dress is unfortunate. I wonder if Tiffany made her wear it as a bridesmaid — or if Ivanka really had such poor taste.” Another said: “Showing up in that dress is such a malevolent act.”
Top comments not only criticized the look but also questioned the reasoning behind it. Why wear a midriff-baring pink-and-silver set to a wedding rehearsal? And what was the idea behind those two black straps running across her bare back? Whatever the intention, one thing is clear: this outfit won’t be forgotten anytime soon.
Unforgettable — and Unforgivable?
One thing is certain: no matter how much time passes, Ivanka Trump’s fashion misstep at her sister’s rehearsal dinner remains fresh in the public’s memory. In a world where every public appearance is scrutinized by millions online, style blunders like this tend to live on — especially when they come from someone in the Trump spotlight.
