Saturday night’s UFC fight in New Jersey had more going on than just punches and championship belts—Ivanka Trump and her father, Donald Trump, made a surprise appearance ringside, and social media couldn’t look away.
Ivanka, 43, turned heads in a sleek, form-fitting white dress with off-the-shoulder sleeves and matching white strappy heels.
The outfit was elegant but also sparked a wave of conversation online, with fans and critics alike chiming in on everything from her look to her presence at the event.
Praise and Criticism Flood in Over Ivanka’s UFC Appearance
After the event, Ivanka shared a series of polished photos on X (formerly Twitter), capturing moments from the evening.
While plenty of people flooded the comments with admiration—calling her “stunning” and “elegant”—others weren’t as enthusiastic.
One user praised her by saying, “Ivanka, you were absolutely stunning last night!” while another commented, “Nice to see you back alongside your father.”
Others gushed, calling her one of the world’s most attractive women.
But not everyone was impressed. Some users found her outfit too formal for a cage-side UFC event.
“You dress like you’re going to prom. It’s a UFC fight,” one critic posted.
Another bluntly added, “I don’t care who your dad is, Ivanka—you’re not ruining these vibes.”
Family First: Ivanka Shares Sweet Moments With Her Kids
Before heading out for the fight, Ivanka posted wholesome family photos on Instagram, showing her posing with husband Jared Kushner and their two oldest kids, Arabella Rose, 13, and Joseph Frederick, 11.
The family stood smiling in front of a white wall, looking polished and coordinated.
Arabella wore a simple but stylish black gown, and one photo even featured a cute mirror selfie of Ivanka and her daughter. Followers loved the wholesome content.
“You and your daughter look more like sisters than mother and daughter,” one comment read.
Another added, “Always keeping it so classy.” The sweet family moment was a softer contrast to the bold UFC energy.
