Donald Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, has always carved out an identity of her own, often distancing herself from her father and his politics. In her younger days, she dated men who later openly opposed her father. She even kept her distance from the White House when Trump returned for a second term as the President of the US.
While never saying anything explicitly negative regarding her family, Ivanka has shown time and again that she knows how to hold her own despite being the daughter of Donald Trump and her latest photo dump with her friends while celebrating her birthday in NYC proves it once again.
Wearing a short, strapless black mini-dress with tights and heels, Ivanka captioned the pictures, “A belated birthday celebration under the NYC lights with my favorite girls.” Netizens were quick to fawn over her look, with some also pointing out that her fashion sense has taken a detour from the typical White House look that she had once flaunted.

Jaycie Cooper, the PR consultant at Cooper Communications, offered more insight into Ivanka’s fashion choice and told Daily Mail, “She’s continuing to transition from the controlled, corporate image she had during her political years to a more lifestyle-focused persona. She’s signaling a return to the lifestyle and fashion spaces where she originally built her brand, and in tandem, distancing herself from the political arena. The change from rigid workwear to more fashion-forward choices is more about audience repositioning than her style.”
Netizens agreed with Cooper, as one person mentioned, “Show me who you hang out with, and I’ll tell you who you are.” Another person brought up her mother, Ivana, who was a Czech model herself and said, “Carrying your mother’s beauty, Ivana’s.” Another person added, “Tall, classy, well-spoken and eloquent woman. Her mother did a good job.”
Ryan McCormick, the managing partner at Goldman McCormick Public Relations, also talked about Ivanka’s departure from the White House and the gradual shift in her fashion sense. Talking to Daily Mail, Ryan pointed out that since Ivanka left the White House, she became more active on social media, with Instagram full of her pictures that are beautiful and sultry. She has over eight million followers there and all her pictures get a huge number of likes and comments as well.

Ryan pointed out, “She’s already more relatable than other people. She talks about things that average people kind of go through, and I think that this post that she had with her friends is just another mark of that consistency.”
Ivanka had been by her father’s side when he was elected for the first time. However, when he came back for his second term, Ivanka left her political career as her father’s adviser and has since been building her own life, in her own way. Her social media, especially Instagram, stands as proof of the way she wants to present herself, and it is very clear that she does not want her personality to be taken over by her father’s long shadow.
