Following Donald Trump’s inauguration, the Liberty Inaugural Ball was held, and his daughter, Ivanka Trump, used the event to pay homage to Audrey Hepburn. The First Daughter wore a recreation of the actress’s iconic Givenchy robe from 1954’s Sabrina (as you’ll be able to see above), and it drew a number of consideration. Now, Hepburn’s son, Sean Hepburn Ferrer, is weighing in on the style second that was made legendary by his mom.
As you’ll be able to see within the picture above of Ivanka and the photograph beneath of Audrey, the 2 white robes match nearly completely. Nevertheless, Donald Trump’s daughter determined to decorate a bit in a different way, choosing a necklace and black gloves whereas Hepburn merely wore a pair of small earrings with the garment in Sabrina.
In an announcement from The White Home (through The Each day Mail), it was defined that Ivanka was “honored” to put on the robe and she or he was impressed by Audrey Hepburn.
Then, the outlet reached out to the actress’s son about her sporting a recreation of the film robe that’s completely red-carpet worthy. In response, he stated it’s “no marvel” she determined to put on this costume made well-known by the Hollywood it lady, and he defined why with the next:
It’s no marvel that rising up in a household which knew our mom as a family identify she selected to attract inspiration from her, to hunt the last word class and sophistication reference, for an event reminiscent of this one – the inauguration and the thirty second anniversary of our mom’s passing and, most of all, Martin Luther King’s day. What a cocktail!
The story went on to notice that the Trump household has just a few ties to the Hepburns. Donald and Ivanka’s stepmother, Marla Ann Maples was on the advisory board for the Audrey Hepburn Kids’s Fund within the ‘90s and that group held an occasion for Ivanka’s stepsister Tiffany that was themed after Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Together with that, Trump’s first spouse, Ivana, was in an extended relationship with Roffredo Gaetani, who’s the oldest son of one among Hepburn’s childhood pals.
Hepburn Ferrer went on to say that his mom is a style icon – which is true, her modern motion pictures have had me rethinking my wardrobe on many events. Noting that Hepburn is like an “anchor” for a lot of celebrities, her son defined:
Over the previous 71 years her legacy has grown to develop into transgenerational and transnational. Her class, which has its roots in her internal magnificence and spirit, is usually a reference level, an anchor, for a lot of celebrities, actresses and fashions in these instances by which we seem to have considerably misplaced our approach.
After that, the story famous that Hepburn Ferrer was requested in regards to the backlash Ivanka obtained for the costume. He famous that his mom was a UNICEF ambassador, and she or he labored to assist “disenfranchised kids worldwide whatever the ideological surroundings by which they have been born in.”
Total, it could seem that Ivanka appreciates Audrey Hepburn and wished to pay homage to her by sporting a costume that appears precisely just like the coolest outfit to be featured within the Oscar-winning movie, Sabrina.
