Ivanka Trump's Recent Social Media Outfits Show Just How Out Of Touch She Is

Oh, to be a wealthy heiress married to another wealthy heir. Sadly, we can't all be Ivanka Trump. Between soaring costs and political tensions, most of us can agree these aren't the best of times. Thanks to tariffs and skyrocketing prices, everything from groceries to housing is more expensive, and yet, while all of this unfolds, Ivanka posts glamorous outfits in dreamy destinations with captions that feel straight out of another universe. 

From outfits with eye-watering price tags to those that seem to appropriate other cultures, it's clear the first daughter is living in her own world. Ivanka Trump's latest fashion choices may signal that she's staying out of politics, but they're unfortunately not showing situational awareness. Of course, it's not anyone's place to dictate how others spend their wealth, but a touch of restraint might help. Posting from a yacht while the country struggles financially under her father's leadership isn't exactly a good look. With that said, here are some of Ivanka's recent outfits that prove it's a rich person's world, and the rest of us are just living in it — barely.

In 2025, Ivanka Trump's social media has carried a recurring theme of jaw-droppingly expensive outfits that most Americans couldn't afford even if they saved for months — or years. To make it worse, the posts are often paired with the kind of "life is perfect" captions that feel almost designed to provoke readers. For example, in January, at her father's candlelight dinner on the eve of his inauguration, Ivanka wore Leviev drop earrings priced at an unbelievable $900,000. This is far from an isolated occurrence. 

More recently, at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's wedding in June, she showed up in a $9,990 dress that she later shared on Instagram. Naturally, social media had thoughts. As one Reddit user put it: "And the thing is, I wouldn't f****** care if all of us made more money and were able to not worry about basic needs but when so many people struggle with poverty in a country of abundance, it gets really f****** enraging." 

It's one thing to indulge in luxury behind closed doors, but to some, flaunting it online can make it feel like she's rubbing it in. Other types of situational unawareness have occurred, too, such as when Ivanka Trump wore an inappropriate outfit to Wyoming. Given that she has a wardrobe larger than most can imagine, surely there was a more appropriate outfit for her to wear than one that seemed to lean toward cultural appropriation.

The wealthy love a good philanthropy post, and Ivanka Trump's are never complete without themed outfits. In 2023, she co-founded a company named Planet Harvest to "help reimagine the food supply chain through private-sector innovation," according to a May 2025 Instagram post. To sell the narrative, she shared stories with overused imagery in another Instagram post: "Rows of ripe, red berries glistened in the sun — perfectly edible, yet destined to go unharvested because they were too small to end up in grocery stores." And, of course, the look had to match the story. In her photo ops, she dressed like a farm girl, posing with produce in hand, even though everyone knows that's not her job. The outfits were deliberately styled to sell the image of Ivanka stepping into farm work.

Planet Harvest is a "profit-for-purpose company," per its official website, but it didn't take long for the internet to connect the dots. In March 2025, under President Donald Trump's leadership, the federal government cut $1 billion from schools and non-profit food banks that had been buying from farmers. A few months later, Ivanka appeared with her farm-girl wardrobe to advertise her for-profit venture to potentially fill the gaps. Social media wasn't happy, with one Reddit user writing, "Ivanka is starting a FOR-PROFIT project to get produce to underserved areas, just as the Trump administration ends funding to a program that supported getting local foods from local producers to schools and communities. Hmm."
