To the Liberty Inaugural Ball that evening, the 43-year-old wore a strapless, black and white Givenchy dress emblazoned with black floral detailing across the bodice and skirt. The dress—which was originally designed for Audrey Hepburnfor the 1954 film Sabrina—was complemented by black satin gloves and matching pumps.
“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,” Hepburn’s son Sean Hepburn Ferrer told DailyMail.com in a statement published Jan. 22, “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. What a cocktail!”
But the My Fair Lady star’s dress wasn’t the only look the Apprenticealum rocked on the day. On the morning of her dad’s swearing-in, Ivanka wore a forest green skirt suit complemented by a matching green hat and thin black belt that cinched at the waist.
The symbolic style displayed by Ivanka—who shares kids Arabella, 13, Joseph, 11, and Theodore, 8, with husband Jared Kushner—during inauguration day was merely an extension of the fashion flare she has shown over the years, including during her dad’s first term in The White House.

In her role as advisor to President Trump, she often showcased styles with florals or monochromatic patterns, tailored dresses or suits, pencil skirts and pumps—always stylish pumps.
