Ivanka Trump, the eldest daughter of Donald Trump, had strongly supported him during the previous presidential campaign and even served as an advisor in the White House. It was therefore surprising when it was announced that Ivanka intends to step away from political life and will not support her father as he seeks re-election. The 43-year-old stated that she wants to focus on her family and young children.
Trump's daughter kept her word and stepped back, making an exception only during the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee following an attack on her father.
Recently, Ivanka Trump appeared on stage during the election night at the West Palm Beach Convention Center in Florida. For this occasion, she chose a royal blue velvet suit set. The color of the suit did not sit well with some Americans who support the Republicans.
Ivanka Trump's suit
In the United States, red is commonly associated with Republicans, while Democrats often urge citizens to "vote blue." Critics pointed out that by choosing a blue suit, Ivanka Trump may have disapproved of her family's political views and distanced herself from her father.
"Why is Ivanka Trump wearing a Democratic shade of blue? And standing away from Trump and the rest of the family?" and "Isn't it strange that Ivanka wore a blue suit? Of all colors... why blue?" wondered users on the X platform.
The color of the suit was also highlighted by the women's news service The List, which noted that the 43-year-old could have chosen any color, such as a red suit or a neutral dress, yet she opted for a "rebellious, Democratic blue."
Every marketing expert knows that color matters and can play a key role in non-verbal communication. Was Trump's daughter indeed trying to convey something by avoiding the color red? One thing is certain—she looked stunning.
