Sat Jan 25 12:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Ivanka Trump Honors Audrey Hepburn at 2025 Inaugural Ball
**Washington, D.C. –** Ivanka Trump’s choice of attire for the 2025 Liberty Inaugural Ball sparked conversation, with the former first daughter donning a Givenchy gown famously worn by Audrey Hepburn in the 1954 film *Sabrina*. The black and white strapless couture dress, featuring black floral detailing, was a tribute to Hepburn, whom Ivanka’s representative cited as a long-time personal inspiration.
Sean Hepburn Ferrer, Audrey Hepburn’s son, commented on Ivanka’s choice, stating that he wasn’t surprised given Hepburn’s enduring legacy. While acknowledging the “ultimate elegance and class” of the dress choice, he noted the coincidental timing – the inauguration falling on the 32nd anniversary of his mother’s death and Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Ivanka Trump also wore an emerald green skirt suit and hat during the inauguration ceremony itself. The event was attended by a large number of dignitaries and celebrities including former presidents and first ladies, tech CEOs such as Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, and various political figures. Other notable attendees included Melania Trump, Barron Trump, and members of the Biden administration. The ceremony also featured a performance of the National Anthem by opera tenor Christopher Macchio. The event proceeded despite a brief outage of the TikTok platform in the United States.
