However, as much as some loved the way she looked, there were those who criticized Ivanka Trump for her outfit.

The longer I look at the details, the more laughable this becomes,” someone commented.

“The texture and the embroidery on Ivanka’s version look cartoonish, and it lacks the same finesse. Hepburn is incomparable,” another added.

“Audrey would have despised Ivanka and her family,” someone else wrote.

Hepburn’s son, Sean Hepburn Ferrer, broke his silence over Ivanka’s looks and said it was ‘no wonder’ the First Daughter chose to pay tribute to the late actress due to their long-standing family ties.

“It is no wonder that growing up in a family which knew our mother as a household name she chose to draw inspiration from her, to seek the ultimate elegance and class reference, for an occasion such as this one – the inauguration and the 32nd anniversary of our mother’s passing and, most of all, Martin Luther King’s day,” he told DailyMail. “What a cocktail!”

Ivanka Trump’s choice to wear an Audrey Hepburn-inspired dress to the inauguration sparked mixed reactions from the public. While some praised her for her elegant and classy look, others found fault with her interpretation of the iconic actress’s style.

Critics pointed out that the texture and embroidery of Ivanka’s dress appeared cartoonish and lacked the finesse of Hepburn’s original look. Some even went so far as to say that Audrey Hepburn would have despised Ivanka and her family. However, Sean Hepburn Ferrer, Hepburn’s son, came to Ivanka’s defense, noting that it was no surprise she chose to pay tribute to his mother given their family’s long-standing ties.

Ferrer acknowledged that Ivanka’s decision to draw inspiration from Audrey Hepburn for such a significant occasion as the inauguration, the anniversary of Hepburn’s passing, and Martin Luther King Jr. Day was understandable. He described it as a unique and fitting tribute to his mother’s legacy and the values she embodied.

Despite the backlash, Ivanka Trump’s choice of attire sparked a conversation about the influence of iconic figures like Audrey Hepburn on fashion and style. While opinions may differ on the success of her homage to the legendary actress, there is no denying the lasting impact Hepburn has had on the world of fashion.

In the end, Ivanka’s decision to channel Audrey Hepburn for the inauguration was a bold choice that showcased her appreciation for timeless elegance and sophistication. Whether or not she captured the essence of Hepburn’s style is up for debate, but one thing is clear – the influence of Hepburn’s iconic look continues to resonate with people across generations.
