18 of the most daring outfits Ivanka Trump has worn

Ivanka Trump announced that she would be stepping back from politics after Donald Trump launched his 2024 presidential bid, skipping the campaign launch event and saying in a statement that she would continue to support her father “outside the political arena.”

With an appearance at Kim Kardashian’s 43rd birthday party in Los Angeles in October, she seems to be returning to her pre-White House life as a socialite.

Here’s a look back at some of Trump’s most daring looks before, during, and after her time in politics.

After designers like Tom Ford and Sophie Theallet announced that they would not dress Melania Trump, Herrera told the AP in December 2016 that she didn’t share that view.

“It is an honor to dress the first ladies of the country and it’s something to do for the United States,” she said. “It’s not for myself. It’s for the public.”

In 2018, she wore a white off-the-shoulder pantsuit by Gabriela Hearst while in Argentina for the G20 Leaders’ Summit.
