Ivanka's Fashion Missteps: Outfits That Sparked Controversy

Ivanka Trump’s Workwear Look: Loungewear or Office Attire?

In February 2018, Ivanka Trump made waves with a casual yet polished outfit she wore to work in Washington, D.C. The look featured a cozy, knee-length floral jacket tied with a sash, paired with matching pastel pink pants and finished off with gray stiletto heels. The navy-blue-gray jacket, designed by Rebecca Taylor, carried a hefty price tag of $895. While stylish, the ensemble led some to speculate that Ivanka was setting a new trend in loungewear-inspired office attire.

Though this particular look didn’t catch on as a trend, it wasn’t the last time Ivanka’s fashion choices raised eyebrows. On October 10, 2019, she posted a photo from her visit to the Guadalupe Center childcare facility in Kansas City, Missouri. Captioning the image with, "We are striving to ensure all hard-working Americans have access to high-quality, affordable childcare," Ivanka wore a white wrap dress with a large sash.

Once again, her outfit sparked conversation online, with many questioning whether it was appropriate for the occasion. "Is she having a sleepover with these kids? Can't think of another reason she would be in her bathrobe," one user on X wrote. Ivanka's choice of a bathrobe-style dress for a childcare facility visit didn't sit well with some viewers, raising eyebrows over her fashion choice for the day.
