Ivanka Trump's Latest Fashion Choices Tell Us She Can't Be Bothered With Politics

Remember when Ivanka Trump was an advisor to the president (aka her dad) from 2017 to early 2021? She wore tailored suits, floral dresses, and exquisite coats. To sum her style up in one word, it would be conservative. And she rarely put a stilettoed foot wrong, other than the odd inappropriate miniskirt here and there.

Fast-forward through a Biden presidency and her father is back in the White House. And Ivanka wants nothing, or very little, to do with it. Claiming that she wanted to spend time with her family, Ivanka has kept her feet firmly planted in her sunny Palm Beach neighborhood, with only rare jaunts to Washington, D.C., peppered with getaways to Europe, New York, and beyond. She actively posts pics of what she's up to on Instagram, from lavish outings with her girlfriends to jetting to the Bezos-Sánchez wedding in Italy. And her fashion choices, from skin-revealing outfits to bikinis galore, tell us that the world of politics is not guiding her style any longer.

In 2020, Ivanka Trump visited India wearing a conservative long jacket over cigarette-cut trousers. Fast forward to 2025, and she wore numerous dazzling outfits in Venice for Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's nuptials. Along with luxe pink dresses for the festivities, which were among Ivanka Trump's most head-turning looks of 2025 so far, the first daughter donned a patterned two piece that showed her midriff while out and about in the city. Clearly her updated travel wardrobe is vastly different now that she's no longer spending time as an advisor to the president.

Back in 2020, Ivanka Trump's family vacations appeared wholesome, possibly in an attempt to appeal to her father's right-wing constituency. In 2025? She's all about posting bikini pics on Instagram, which she did while the family was vacationing in Costa Rica. In the same carousel, Ivanka Trump also shared her reading list, which proves she isn't afraid to defy her father. It seems she's feeling much more free to share what she wants without the backdrop of politics affecting her choices.

Ivanka Trump is no stranger to fitness, often sharing photos of herself wakeboarding, hiking, or hitting the gym. During her stint in the White House, she posted humble photos of her and husband Jared Kushner hiking in the woods. Now? She's all about the lightly clad workout selfies on Instagram.

In 2019, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner jetted off to France, where they stopped for coffees in a charming French café. Her conservative style shone through again, as she wore a turtleneck sweater and black pants. Ivanka's brunch style in Miami in 2025 couldn't be a further cry from conservative: She posted an Instagram snap of a black minidress with cutouts revealing her lithe figure. This isn't the look of someone who cares how she appears in the political sphere.

While she served as an advisor in the White House, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner didn't seem to get out much, other than for political events, including a trip to South Korea, where she continued to demonstrate conservative fashion choices in a pale-blue Safiyaa dress. Clearly those days are gone, as Ivanka happily flaunted her figure on a night out with Kushner in Miami in May 2025.

While on a state visit to London in 2019, Ivanka Trump donned an off-white skirt suit that can be described as vanilla. Fast forward a few years to the questionable outfit Ivanka Trump wore to Kim Kardashian's birthday party in 2023. The cropped top, the high thigh-slit, the sequins — they all speak to someone who can't be bothered with politics anymore.
