Online observers quickly noticed that Ivanka Trump’s outfit at the State of the Union seemed to echo a style choice her mother, Melania Trump, had made earlier in the week.
Ivanka, who attended the address in Washington, D.C. alongside her siblings, wore a striking ensemble while her father, President Donald Trump, delivered a historic 1 hour and 48-minute speech the longest in State of the Union history covering topics like tariffs, the economy, and immigration.
While Melania opted for a tailored black pantsuit, it was Ivanka who drew attention. She wore a suit-and-skirt combination by Oscar de la Renta, sold separately for $4,990 (blazer) and $2,390 (skirt), totaling $7,380. The pieces featured an ombré gradient from grey to black, with the skirt falling just above the knees. Some online users noted that the silver tones in Ivanka’s outfit reminded them of Melania’s metallic pants from earlier events.
At the Governors Dinner on Saturday, Melania had worn silver pants believed to be the Metallic Floral Puff Brocade Slim-Leg Ankle Pants from Dolce & Gabbana, priced at $2,395. Comments on social media were mixed. One user noted, “Her outfit reminds me of Melania’s foil pants she recently wore,” while another praised the combination: “Ombré + metallic + boucle is an unexpected but perfect combination.”
Others were less impressed. One person wrote, “Wow, the pigeons of DC did a great job s------ all over Ivanka’s suit,” highlighting the polarized reactions.
Melania’s metallic pants also sparked debate. Some found them stylish, while others questioned their appropriateness for a formal dinner. Social media reactions included:
- “Is she wearing trousers with no belt to a formal dinner?”
- “WTF is Melania wearing? If it’s black tie, why aren’t the men in tuxedos, and what is that short woman wearing? A visual mess.”
- “Looks like she’s going on a picnic. How disgraceful.”
- “Wonder how much the aluminum foil pants cost.”
At the same time, many defended her look as elegant and fitting. Comments in support included:
- “Class and elegance back in the White House. Trump and Melania looking sharp for the Governors Dinner!”
- “Class, elegance, and zero apologies. That’s how you host a Governors Dinner.”
- “First Lady Melania Trump looks very classy.”
It’s clear that both Ivanka and Melania made bold fashion choices that generated strong reactions, reflecting the attention the Trump family continues to draw at high-profile events.
