Ivanka Trump Wore a $2,995 Dress and Social Media Is Very Confused
For her father’s first address to a joint session of Congress, Ivanka Trump took off her choker and bright red blazer that she wore to the White House earlier on Tuesday and changed into yet another youthful look.
For the evening, the first daughter opted for a magenta dress from French fashion designer Roland Mouret, which retails for $2,995. From the brand’s Resort 2017 collection, The Rawlings Dress in orchid pink, is, according to the product’s description, “an easy choice for that evening affair when you think you have ‘nothing to wear'” and the flourishes also make it the “‘It’ dress for nighttime soirees. The design features an asymmetric neckline with a black spaghetti strap.
Trump, who moved to Washington, D.C. following President Donald Trump’s inauguration and has been an active member in his administration, shared an image of herself at the White House with her husband, Jared Kushner, before heading to the Capitol building.

The tweet received nearly 10,000 hearts in less than an hour. However, while it was warmly received by many — “very nice” and “gorgeous” were among some of the many comments — others were confused.

GoodGod @IvankaTrump ….this isn't a fashion event #WhatWereYouThinking?

Sorry, but who thinks it's normal to wear a plunging neckline to the #JointAddress or off-the-shoulder w/bra strap? #MELANIATRUMP #Ivanka

Social media took note of the fact that Ivanka’s seemingly able to flaunt her arms and shoulders at the Capitol without controversy whereas former first lady Michelle Obama was criticized for doing the same.
Remember all that crap about Michelle Obama showing her arms & if it was appropriate? Well, behold Ivanka and her shoulders. ?????????♀? https://t.co/eqLrc7misg

And why can Ivanka bare a shoulder and bra strap, but Michelle Obama could not show an arm? #JointAddress #confused

Melanie can wear a low v-neck dress.
Ivanka can bare a shoulder and bra strap.
Michelle Obama couldn't wear a sleeveless dress #JointAddress pic.twitter.com/Q5gKMtmtLy— Dem Texas Girls (@TexDem16) March 1, 2017
So Michelle sleeveless was a prob, but Ivanka has the equivalent of a bra strap showing like she's at the club . smh. #JointAddress

Ivanka’s stepmother was subjected to a similar critique for her $9,590 sequined skirt suit ensemble. Melania Trump’s Michael Kors ensemble was called “inappropriate” for the function and more fit a New Year’s Eve party or “da club.”
