Ivanka Trump’s recreation
of Audrey Hepburn’s Sabrina gown at the 2025 Liberty Inaugural Ball
sparked mixed reactions. While some saw it as a classy tribute to Hepburn,
especially with its timing near the anniversary of Hepburn’s death ,
and Martin Luther King Jr. Day others criticized the choice. The contrast between Ivanka’s politics and Hepburn’s humanitarian values led some to view it as tone-deaf. The gown raised questions about the line between tribute and appropriation in fashion. What do you think—was it respectful or a misstep?
