Ivanka Trump Faces Backlash Over Chinese New Year Outfit Choice
Ivanka Trump is facing criticism after she shared photos on her Instagram celebrating the Chinese New Year in a cream-colored suit. Many social media users deemed her outfit as “culturally insensitive and ignorant” due to the color choice.
In Chinese culture, wearing white on Chinese New Year is considered bad luck as it symbolizes mourning and is typically worn to funerals. The preferred color to wear during the Lunar New Year is red, as it represents luck, blessings, and prosperity.
Despite the backlash, Trump expressed her excitement for the new lunar cycle, stating that the Year of the Fire Horse calls for courage, energy, intention, and fearless creation. She shared that she is ready to bring forward new projects and is looking forward to what lies ahead in the new year.
While some commenters criticized Trump for her outfit choice, calling her “culturally insensitive,” others praised her beauty and elegance. Trump also shared photos and videos of her daughter Arabella riding a horse on the beach, further celebrating the Year of the Fire Horse.
Although Trump has faced criticism for her fashion choices in the past, most recently for wearing sunglasses at a football game after dark, she continues to share moments with her family on social media. Despite the controversy, Trump remains focused on her projects and is looking forward to the future with clarity and conviction.
