Ivanka Trump wore a custom Oscar de la Renta dress for pre-inauguration festivities Sunday, leading liberal social media users to call for a boycott of the designer.
After Oscar de la Renta’s official Instagram account shared two photos of Trump, 43, wearing an “off-shoulder crystal and pearl floral-embroidered empire waist gown with [a] silver stole,” some followers begged the luxury brand to “please stop.”
One commenter wrote, “Oh ok so we’re done with odlr,” abbreviating the designer’s name, while another said “boot licking is never in season.”
A third wrote, “Just like it happened during the rise of Nazis, the big brands once again support the evil in the name of higher profits.”
Many social media users commented that they were unfollowing the brand, with one quipping, “Fascism — but make it Fashion.”
Others, however, praised the “flawless” ensemble, including Jeff Bezos’ fiancée, Lauren Sánchez, who called it “beyond magic.”
Oscar de la Renta has yet to comment on the backlash.
Earlier Sunday, Trump stepped out with her husband, Jared Kushner, and their three kids — Arabella, 13, Joseph, 11, and Theodore, 8 — to honor veterans at an Arlington National Cemetery wreath-laying ceremony in more pieces from the brand.
For that outing, she rocked a camel cashmere coat with orchid appliqués, a coordinating dress and boots.
Oscar de la Renta also designed a custom gown for JD Vance’s wife, Usha Vance, to wear at the Vice President’s Dinner on Saturday.
The 39-year-old’s black gown featured a sweetheart neckline and asymmetrical floral accents.
The fashion house previously designed gowns for Hillary Clinton, Jacqueline Kennedy and more first ladies.
President-elect Donald Trump’s swearing in will take place inside the United States Capitol rotunda in Washington, DC, on Monday, two months after his election win.
While Ivanka was a senior adviser when her father, 78, first served in the White House from 2017 to 2021, she has since stepped back from politics — and recently explained her decision on the “Skinny Confidential” podcast.
“I know the cost, and it’s a price that I’m not willing to make my kids bear,” the first daughter told listeners last week.
