Audrey Hepburn's Son Praises Ivanka Trump for Gown Recreation

Ivanka Trump garnered mixed reactions after wearing a custom Givenchy gown inspired by her late mother-in-law Ivana Trump, originally designed for Audrey Hepburn in the 1954 film 'Sabrina,' at the Liberty Ball. Audrey Hepburn's son, Sean Hepburn Ferrer, expressed his approval of Ivanka's choice, noting it was a fitting tribute given the occasion coincided with both the inauguration and the 32nd anniversary of his mother's passing. He remarked on Hepburn's enduring legacy and elegance, which he believes continues to inspire many in the fashion world today. Despite the praise, the choice drew some backlash on social media, with Ferrer subtly acknowledging that his mother might not have aligned with many of Ivanka's political stances. A White House representative emphasized Ivanka's admiration for Hepburn, stating it was a privilege for her to honor her legacy through fashion. Critics, including Vogue, questioned the deeper significance behind Ivanka's style choices, suggesting they may lean towards aesthetics rather than meaningful political statements.
