<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In a later </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DFE9AJJuOEc/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">post</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, the designer shared the initial drawing of the gown, which he wrote was nothing more than &#8220;a simple scribble with a marker on a piece of paper &#8230;&#8221; It would end up being the focal point for the dress, which included a fitted bodice and black ribbon that wrapped around the entire dress.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In 2017, Melania asked Herve Pierre to create the gown she wore to the Inauguration Balls during President Trump’s first presidency. It was a strapless cream-colored gown with a red trim around the waist. A </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BeIwcHAn801/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">year later</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> he shared details about getting to design the first lady&#8217;s dress. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“A year ago already &#8230; The First Lady gave me the HONOR to design her gown for the inauguration,” Pierre wrote. “What a unique experience it was to collaborate with her &#8230; I shall never forget &#8230; I still pinch myself she chose me !! All my warmest wishes to our First Lady.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While Melania’s gown stole the night, Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump also made headlines when she stepped out on Monday to the various balls wearing a gorgeous recreation of Givenchy’s haute couture gown designed for Audrey Hepburn in the 1954 film “Sabrina,” </span><a href="https://pagesix.com/2025/01/21/style/ivanka-trump-wears-gorgeous-white-gown-complete-with-black-floral-patterns-at-donald-trumps-inaugural-ball/?utm_source=instagram&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=pagesix&amp;utm_content=pagesix_feed"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Page Six</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> noted.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ivanka’s strapless fitted black-and-white gown included beautiful embroidered black floral motifs throughout along with a bustle-like overskirt. She completed the look with black opera gloves and black pumps.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A White House representative told the outlet that Ivanka was “honored” to wear the gown and “incredibly grateful [to the] Arnault family and the Givenchy atelier for creating this masterpiece, capturing the original artistry and elegance with remarkable precision and craftsmanship.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Audrey Hepburn has long been a personal inspiration to Ivanka,” the rep added. “She views it as a great privilege to honor her legacy in this way, and is incredibly grateful to the team at Givenchy for bringing this moment to life.”</span></p>

Usha Vance

<p>Love him or hate him, we can’t ignore that when it comes to parenting, Donald Trump seems to be a pretty good father. The proof is evident in the behavior of his kids. Certainly, kids who have an ax to grind don’t act like his kids do.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">First, adult sons and daughters who harbor deep anger toward a parent never speak highly of him or her, regardless of how famous they are. In fact, fame can be an ideal opportunity for angry kids to humiliate their parents. Trump’s older kids, Eric, Ivanka, and Donald Jr. don’t behave this way. In fact, they have no reason to publicly support their father so enthusiastically other than the belief that their father is a good and capable man. Sure, they may want to applaud him to further their own careers, but they don’t need to do this. They are each highly successful on their own. If they had lukewarm sentiments about their dad, they would at least fade into the background. But they haven’t. They have taken advantage of large public platforms to convince us that he has strong character and extraordinarily strong abilities to improve America. They wouldn’t do this if they believed that his intentions were other than altruistic. The fact that they have successfully convinced millions of Americans that he has what it takes to lead our country can only come from sincere sentiments.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Second, both his daughter-in-law and son-in-law are two of his most ardent supporters. How many in-laws boast about their father-in-law not only privately, but also publicly? Lara has no motive to boast other than genuine admiration and Jared could certainly stay silent.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When it comes to his business life, Trump puts his grown kids front and center. Fathers who want to dominate the spotlight, don’t do this. They own the public space and keep their adult kids in the background, in part, to avoid the risk that their kids will make derogatory statements about them. Trump takes the risk because he is confident they won’t humiliate or criticize him. He knows they will always support him.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When Trump’s older kids were young, he protected them from the paparazzi. He worked to keep his kids out of the spotlight until they wanted to jump into it of their own volition. His first three kids went away to school so that the press would leave them alone. Tiffany and Barron now enjoy that same privacy so they too can live their own lives. The president-elect could easily push all of them into the spotlight to make himself look like a good father, but he doesn’t. Eric, Ivanka, and Donald Jr., along with Lara Trump, put themselves in the public and political arenas to bolster President-elect Trump’s career.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When it comes to raising his family, Trump appears to have nothing to hide. Most fathers would be afraid to give their kids the freedom to say what they want about their dad. Who among us would have the confidence to give our kids such a large media presence to say whatever they want about us? Not me. Only a father who feels confident about the job he has done would do so.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Many divorced couples carry resentment and anger after their breakup with their spouse and psychologists know how damaging the animosity can be on the couple’s kids. Donald has kept his kids from a lot of pain by embracing friendships with his two ex-wives. And while Ivana Trump passed away in 2022, we still see photos of Marla Maples, Melania, and Donald standing together smiling for the camera at Tiffany Trump’s wedding.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The peculiar thing about the president-elect’s life is that he seems to have successfully split himself into two men: the father and the political genius. In his former role, he appears to have worked hard at having close relationships with his kids. To the best of his ability, he has tried to spend as much time as possible with them. This is no easy task when you are running a multi-million-dollar real estate empire and then while being president. Succeeding at both takes impossible time and energy and yet, with these challenges, he has somehow stayed close with his kids.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The other side of Trump is hard to applaud. He has been accused of multiple incidents of sexual harassment and harmful sexual behavior toward women. He has admitted to being a poor husband at times, and his numerous public affairs with women confirm this. Good husbands don’t cheat on their wives or sexually harass other women. The peculiar part is that his five kids know this and still publicly support and encourage him. This occurs only because, in some genuinely incredible feat, Trump has found a way to communicate to his kids that being their father is a much higher priority than even being a husband, businessman, or politician. His life as a father is completely separate from his work life, and his kids must feel this. If they refused to forgive or ignore his deep flaws they would take every opportunity to denounce him on the worldwide stage.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Donald Trump is a complex man. He is both a good man and a villain. This is hard for people to understand. The truth is, however, that we are all complex beings. Like him, we are not simply good or evil, kind or cruel. We are both. Certainly, as a man, Trump has made poor decisions, and offended many people to the point where they despise him. But clearly, he has done something well when it comes to his kids. And their behavior is a testimony to his personal success as a father.</span></p>

A spokesperson for Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-spokesperson-gives-statement-about-his-health-after-shooting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> the former president was “fine and is being checked out at a local medical facility.”</p>

<p>Trump&#8217;s youngest child, Barron Trump, was reportedly with his father at the rally when the shots were fired.</p>
<p>The former president himself eventually released a statement on Truth Social.</p>
<p>“I want to thank The United States Secret Service, and all of Law Enforcement, for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania,” the former president <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-releases-statement-after-assassination-attempt-says-he-was-shot-in-the-ear" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. “Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the Rally who was killed, and also to the family of another person that was badly injured. It is incredible that such an act can take place in our Country.”</p>
<p>“Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead,” Trump continued. “I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;GOD BLESS AMERICA!” he closed the post.</p>

<p>Donald Trump&#8217;s youngest son, Barron, is stepping into politics for the first time as the 18-year-old was selected by the Florida Republican Party on Wednesday to be one of the state&#8217;s at-large delegates for the Republican National Convention, NBC News <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/barron-trump-florida-delegate-republican-national-convention-rcna151388" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.</p>
<p>Barron, who will graduate from high school next week, joins his half-siblings Don Jr., Eric, Ivanka, and Tiffany in entering Republican politics. Don Jr., Eric, and the former president&#8217;s youngest daughter Tiffany will also be among the 41 RNC delegates from Florida, according to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/barron-trump-enter-politics-florida-delegate-gop-convention" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News</a>.</p>
<p>A Trump campaign official <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/barron-trump-picked-serve-florida-delegate-republican-national/story?id=110049809" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> ABC News that Barron is &#8220;on the delegation roster and &#8230; is very interested in our nation&#8217;s political process.&#8221;</p>
<p>Florida GOP Chair Evan Power said, &#8220;The (Republican Party of Florida) is ready for a great convention in Milwaukee, but more importantly, we are excited as we continue to lay the groundwork in Florida for success. Mark my words, we are going to win and we will win big in November!&#8221;</p>
<p>Barron was recently cast into the spotlight during his father&#8217;s hush-money trial in New York as Trump&#8217;s lawyers argued before Judge Juan Merchan that their client should be allowed a day off to attend his son&#8217;s graduation ceremony. Merchan agreed to allow Trump to attend Barron&#8217;s graduation, which is <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13393359/Donald-trump-barron-son-graduation-attend-ceremony.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">scheduled</a> for Friday, May 17.</p>
<p>The presumptive Republican presidential nominee is stuck in a Manhattan courtroom four days a week as he tries to campaign for the White House. Trump&#8217;s multiple civil and criminal trials have also affected his children.</p>
<p>In Trump&#8217;s New York civil business fraud case, Don Jr., Eric, and Ivanka all <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-family-take-stand-250-million-civil-fraud-trial-rcna122806" target="_blank" rel="noopener">testified</a> last year as the New York Democratic Attorney General sought punishment for Trump and his organization, alleging he inflated his net worth and financial statements. The Trump Organization, which was founded by the former president&#8217;s father, is now run by Don Jr. and Eric. Ivanka left her leadership position when she joined her father in the White House as an advisor.</p>

Trump Attends UFC 299 With Daughter Ivanka After Georgia Rally

Dana White

<p>Former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> said during an interview this week that his family will not play any role in his administration if he becomes the Republican Party nominee and wins the 2024 general election.</p>
<p>Trump, 77, told Fox News anchor Bret Baier in an interview that aired Monday evening that being president was &#8220;too painful for the family&#8221; and that they will not be involved in his administration if he gets back to the White House.</p>
<p>Trump made the remarks when Baier asked him if he wanted his oldest daughter, Ivanka Trump, and her husband, Jared Kushner, with him again politically in the future.</p>
<p>&#8220;No,&#8221; Trump responded. “I said, that’s enough for the family. You know why? It’s too painful for the family.&#8221;</p>
<p>“My family’s been through hell,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;I mean, they have — Eric, my son, who’s a fine boy. You know him very well. He’s a fine young man, good student, good everything, comes in. We’re doing beautifully. Then I decide to run for president. I mean, I don’t think anybody in the world in history has ever had more subpoenas sent to him,” the 2024 GOP presidential front-runner claimed.</p>
<p>The former president said that no other family has been through what his family has been through.</p>
<p>“Ivanka had a really successful line of clothing, I mean, making a fortune. When I did this, she was really — she closed it up,&#8221; he said. &#8220;She sort of felt she had to, but she closed it up.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ivanka Trump announced in November 2022 that she would play no part in her father’s 2024 presidential campaign, and she skipped the former president’s campaign launch at his Mar-a-Lago estate.</p>

<p>Former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump&#8217;s</a> daughter and son-in-law have reportedly been subpoenaed in one of the federal criminal investigations into the former president.</p>
<p>The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/22/us/politics/jared-kushner-ivanka-trump-jan-6.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that special counsel Jack Smith subpoenaed Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner to testify before a federal grand jury about Trump&#8217;s efforts to stay in office after losing the 2020 presidential election.</p>
<p>The report said that it was unclear whether Trump would try to block them from testifying by claiming executive privilege. Trump did not stop either of them from testifying in front of the special House Select Committee on the January 6 riot.</p>
<p>The report noted that one clip from the January 6 hearing showed that Ivanka Trump said she &#8220;accepted&#8221; then-U.S. Attorney General William Barr&#8217;s conclusion that there was not widespread fraud during the election.</p>
<p>Smith has also subpoenaed former Vice President Mike Pence and former national security adviser Robert O’Brien in his criminal investigations into the former president. The FBI and DOJ also recorded a four-hour interview under oath with former acting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf as part of the investigations.</p>
<p>Other top former Trump administration officials who have reportedly testified in the criminal investigations into Trump include Wolf’s former deputy, Ken Cuccinelli, former White House counsel Pat Cipollone and his deputy Patrick Philbin, former adviser Stephen Miller, and former White House aide John McEntee.</p>

Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner Subpoenaed To Testify In Criminal Investigation Into Trump

<p>Ivanka Trump shared a heartbreaking post on Instagram about &#8220;grief&#8221; during her family&#8217;s first holiday season following her mother Ivana Trump&#8217;s death in July.</p>
<p>In the lengthy <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CmuXbGGu3i0/">post</a>, former President Donald Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ivanka-trump">daughter</a> said &#8220;it&#8217;s true&#8221; what others have said about &#8220;grief during the holidays&#8221; being hardest and said the &#8220;void&#8221; left by her mom&#8217;s absence &#8220;is undeniable&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;This is the first holiday season since the passing of my mother,&#8221; Ivanka captioned her post. &#8220;It&#8217;s true: grief during the holidays can be harder than any other time of the year.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;Learning to celebrate differently is a challenge,&#8221; she added. &#8220;I am trying to be kind, patient and compassionate with myself and honor and make space for all of the emotions I am experiencing. New memories are being made, my children&#8217;s laughter is abundant, my 96-year-old grandma&#8217;s presence at our table brings us all joy, yet the void is undeniable.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The loss of a parent is one of life&#8217;s very painful passages for which one is never fully prepared,&#8221; Trump continued. &#8220;It hits at the very core of your being. And it takes a good amount of time to emerge from how it dislocates you.&#8221;</p>
<p>The former first daughter then closed out her post by sending love and support to all those who &#8220;have experienced the loss of a loved one this year.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;May hope sustain you, may good memories provide you comfort, may friends and family surround you, and may love give you strength,&#8221; she wrote.</p>
<p>The former senior advisor to the Trump administration&#8217;s post also included several sweet throwback photos of Ivanka as a young child with her mom during various Christmas celebrations over the years.</p>
<p>In July, news surfaced that the first wife of former President Trump had died, as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-ivana-trumps-cause-of-death-revealed-reports-say">The Daily Wire</a> previously reported.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ivana-trumps-3-children-post-heartfelt-tributes-after-her-death'">Reports later</a> confirmed that Ivana died from injuries she sustained after falling down a flight of stairs, according to the New York City Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. Her death was ruled as an accident.</p>

Ivanka Trump Shares Heartbreaking Post About ‘Grief’ During First Holiday Season After Mother’s Death

Ivanka Trump Shares Heartbreaking Post About ‘Grief’ During First Holiday Season After Mother Ivana Trump's Death

Death

<p>More than a month after Ivanka Trump was a no-show at her father&#8217;s announcement that he would seek the presidency again, Donald Trump says he actually asked her and her husband Jared Kushner not to join his campaign.</p>
<p>Ivanka, who bore the title of senior presidential adviser during her father&#8217;s term in the White House, said in a November 15 statement that she decided not to participate, contradicting Trump&#8217;s new statement.</p>
<p>&#8220;Contrary to Fake News reporting, I never asked Jared or Ivanka to be part of the 2024 Campaign for President and, in fact, specifically asked them not to do it — too mean and nasty with the Fake &amp; Corrupt News and having to deal with some absolutely horrendous SleazeBags in the world of politics, and beyond,&#8221; Trump wrote on the Truth Social platform.</p>
<p>&#8220;There has never been anything like this &#8216;ride&#8217; before, and they should not be further subjected to it. I ran twice, getting millions more Votes the second time (RIGGED), &amp; am doing it again!&#8221; he added.</p>
<p>But The New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/11/14/trump-begging-jared-ivanka-to-join-him-for-campaign-launch-sources/">reported</a> in November that Trump had &#8220;begged&#8221; both Ivanka and Kushner to join his campaign team while they were all at Tiffany Trump’s Mar-a-Lago wedding.</p>
<p>“Trump thought he could convince Ivanka this weekend to come back and campaign for him as she was the most requested speaker after the president himself last time around,&#8221; The Post quoted an &#8220;insider&#8221; as saying.</p>
<p>&#8220;But so far she’s resisting his entreaties and holding firm, as is Jared. They both feel they got burned in Washington and don’t want to go back and expose themselves and their children to another bitter campaign.”</p>
<p>For her part, Ivanka was clear as to why she was not joining the campaign.</p>
<p>“I love my father very much,” Ivanka said, The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ivanka-trump-releases-statement-on-why-she-did-not-attend-fathers-presidential-announcement">reported</a> in November. “This time around, I am choosing to prioritize my young children and the private life we are creating as a family. I do not plan to be involved in politics.”</p>
<p>“While I will always love and support my father, going forward I will do so outside the political arena,” she continued. “I am grateful to have had the honor of serving the American people and I will always be proud of many of our Administration’s accomplishments.”</p>
<p>Ivanka insisted she is close to her father and that “hasn’t changed and will never change.”</p>
<p>“I’ve had many roles over the years but that of daughter is one of the most elemental and consequential,” she said. “I am loving this time with my kids, loving life in Miami and the freedom and privacy with having returned to the private sector. This has been one of the greatest times of my life.”</p>
<p>While talking about her three children — Arabella, 11, Joseph, 9, and Theodore, 6 — she said that they were at “critical ages” and that she wanted to be there to enjoy “these moments with them.”</p>
<p>“We’re happy where we are right now, and we will continue to support my father — as his kids,” Ivanka added.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ivanka-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ivanka Trump</a>, former President Donald Trump&#8217;s oldest daughter, said in a statement Tuesday evening that she decided not to attend her father&#8217;s presidential announcement at Mar-a-Lago because she does not want to be involved in politics anymore.</p>
<p>The statement from Ivanka comes after the New York Post reported Monday that the president &#8220;spent part of daughter Tiffany’s lavish Mar-a-Lago wedding this past weekend trying to convince his much-loved elder daughter, Ivanka, and son-in-law Jared Kushner to be with him on stage&#8221; when he announced tonight.</p>
<p>&#8220;I love my father very much,&#8221; Ivanka said. &#8220;This time around, I am choosing to prioritize my young children and the private life we are creating as a family. I do not plan to be involved in politics.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;We’re happy where we are right now, and we will continue to support my father — as his kids,&#8221; Ivanka Trump added.</p>
<p>Donald Trump Jr. was also not in attendance because he was on a hunting trip and could not get a flight back due to bad weather.</p>
<p>Tiffany Trump, the youngest daughter, got married over the weekend and was not in attendance.</p>
<p>Jared Kushner, Ivanka&#8217;s husband, was in attendance at Mar-a-Lago for the announcement.</p>
