Ivanka Trump continues to captivate public attention with her evolving style, generating strong reactions from admirers and critics alike. Recent Instagram posts highlight her knack for elegant presentation, while also recalling past instances where her appearance sparked widespread debate, particularly concerning her hair.
On June 18, 2025, Ivanka shared a series of stunning photos on Instagram, taken in New York City, which quickly garnered widespread admiration. The images feature the businesswoman and author in a striking black dress with a deep neckline, radiating an aura of sophisticated composure. In the first photo, she stands against a glass-fenced balcony, smiling softly at the camera. A second image offers a similar pose, with her looking down introspectively. The final shot captures her seated near a large window, her side profile framed by the soft, muted light of a cloudy cityscape. She simply captioned the post, “Empire state of mind.” Fans flooded the comments with praise, calling her “Stunning!” “Beauty,” “The most elegant, demure and intelligent woman on earth,” and simply “Classy 🖤.” Many noted that “Black is your color” and complimented her “stunning” dress, with one admirer even remarking, “Your hubby is a very lucky man to have a wife of your wonderful calibre.”
However, public perception hasn’t always been so uniformly positive for Ivanka. A notable instance occurred on February 9, 2025, when she attended Super Bowl LIX alongside her father, U.S. President Donald Trump, and her son, Theodore Kushner. While the President’s attendance was historic, it was Ivanka’s hair that unexpectedly stole the spotlight, becoming the subject of intense scrutiny on social media due to visible extensions.
In an Instagram video shared by the official @POTUS account, Ivanka was seen from behind, clapping in the viewing stands next to her father. Her signature blonde hair, parted in the middle, cascaded straight down her back with a sleek, polished finish, gleaming under the stadium lights. Complementing her chic white fitted two-piece outfit, cinched with a brown belt and accessorized with gold jewelry, her hairstyle aimed for a sophisticated yet effortless look as she cheered on the game.
Later, Ivanka shared her own carousel of photos from the Super Bowl on her personal Instagram, showcasing family moments. These included candid shots of her son Theodore, looking cozy and refined in a forest green quarter-zip sweater and beige trousers, seemingly napping in a presidential vehicle. Other photos captured Theodore smiling with his grandfather, as well as Donald walking with Theodore, the trio saluting, and an adorable mother-son moment. She captioned her post simply, “Super Bowl LIX ! 🇺🇸.”
Despite the focus on family moments, netizens quickly zoomed in on Ivanka’s hair in the POTUS video. Comments flooded in, pointing out “Oh, girl, I see those extensions,” “Major mistakes with her extensions,” and “What’s wrong with the back of Ivanka’s hair? Looks like her hair extensions are a fail!” While many criticized the visible extensions, some defended her, noting, “Everyone has hair extensions now. No big deal unless you make it one.” Through these contrasting public reactions, Ivanka Trump continues to demonstrate her significant influence in both fashion and public presentation.
