This past weekend, the fashion world found itself at the center of controversy when Ivanka Trump and Usha Vance, the wife of Vice President-elect JD Vance, wore custom Oscar de la Renta dresses to pre-inauguration events in Washington D.C.
Their dress choices sparked backlash among certain liberal groups, who called for a boycott of the renowned fashion house.
Ivanka Trump’s Stunning Look at the National Building Museum
Ivanka Trump made a major statement in a custom off-shoulder gown by Oscar de la Renta.
The dress, featuring delicate crystal and pearl floral embroidery and an empire waist, was completed with a silver stole.
She wore this stunning outfit to a candlelight dinner at the National Building Museum in D.C. on Sunday evening.
The event, which was attended by high-profile figures like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, had Ivanka rubbing elbows with some of the wealthiest people in the world.
In an especially touching moment, cameras captured Ivanka sharing a hug with Bezos’ fiancée, Lauren Sanchez.
Usha Vance’s Dress Sparks Backlash on Social Media
Meanwhile, Usha Vance, who attended a separate event on Saturday, also chose a custom Oscar de la Renta gown.
Her choice, a noir velvet dress with asymmetric floral accents and a sweetheart neckline, became the subject of significant criticism online.
A user on social media immediately called for a boycott of the brand, citing the dress as a symbol of unacceptable values.
One critic even declared they would no longer support Oscar de la Renta, accusing the fashion house of lacking moral integrity.
Oscar de la Renta’s Long History of Dressing First Ladies
Oscar de la Renta has long been associated with dressing prominent political figures, particularly First Ladies.
The late Dominican designer first garnered fame by dressing Jackie Kennedy, and his legacy continued with Hillary Clinton, Laura Bush, and Nancy Reagan, among others.
Despite this long-standing history, the fashion house found itself in hot water over the recent dress choices made by Ivanka Trump and Usha Vance.
Many liberals were quick to express their outrage on social media, accusing the brand of supporting fascism.
The Backlash Against Oscar de la Renta Grows Stronger
The backlash against Oscar de la Renta escalated with numerous angry comments flooding the brand’s Instagram page.
Some called the brand’s support of the Trump and Vance families “fascist,” while others criticized the fashion house for prioritizing profits over values.
One popular comment on the post showing off Ivanka’s dress read, “Fascism – but make it Fashion,” echoing the sentiment that brands were enabling political ideologies they disagreed with for the sake of higher profits.
Trump’s Family Celebrates Ahead of Inauguration Day
While the fashion world reacted to the dress choices, Ivanka’s father, President-elect Donald Trump, made headlines himself with his remarks during a pre-inauguration event.
At a gathering in D.C., Trump took the opportunity to address his Cabinet picks, praising Republican senators for their support and criticizing the Biden administration.
He also announced plans to sign nearly 100 executive orders on Monday, signaling a swift and aggressive start to his second term.
Trump’s Bold Plans for Day One in Office
During a rally at the Capital One Arena in Washington D.C. on Sunday, Trump outlined his ambitious plans for his first day back in office.
He promised to sign 200 executive orders, addressing issues such as border security, energy costs, and the dismantling of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs.
Trump also reiterated his commitment to enforcing stricter immigration policies, including a large-scale deportation initiative aimed at removing “rough” individuals from the country.
Conclusion: The Political Storm Continues
As the country braces for a highly charged second term, Ivanka Trump’s fashion choices and the ensuing backlash from Oscar de la Renta serve as a reminder of the divisive political climate surrounding the Trump family.
With liberals calling for a boycott of the fashion house and Trump pushing forward with his bold plans, the coming days promise to be as eventful as ever.
