Ivanka Trump's surprising blue suit alongside her father in Palm Beach

She was at her father's side for this historic day. If she shone by absence during Donald Trump's electoral campaign, unlike the previous ones, in 2016 and 2020, Ivanka Trump, 43, “favorite” daughter of the Republican candidate, is nonetheless one of his more loyal supporters. Also, when the man who is about to become President of the United States again made his victory speech, before the vote count was completed, she was naturally on stage at his side. He had reserved a special place for him, next to future vice-president JD Vance and his wife.

Talking through clothes

What surprised the commentators was this blue velvet suit that she wore. An ensemble matched with a silk shirt, also blue and enhanced by a simple pair of diamond earrings. It was not the impeccable cut of the ensemble that raised eyebrows, nor even the red lipstick which contrasted with her usual nude beauty look, but rather the shade of her outfit. Because in the United States, where political plurality is limited to a division between the Republican Party and the Democrats, colors have increased symbolic importance. Red is for Republicans and blue is for… Democrats.

Did she want to send a discreet but clear message about possible political disagreements with her father, particularly in terms of women's rights? Was it, on the contrary, a way of saying that Donald Trump's victory is such that he now dominates all of the United States, including Democratic lands? There are many speculations and only she has the truth.

This isn't the first time Ivanka has expressed herself through her clothes more than in words. During her only appearance during the campaign, on July 18 at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, five days after the attempted assassination of Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, she appeared in an immaculate outfit. This matched that of her sister Tiffany, while her mother-in-law, Melania Trump was all in red, like many Trumpists present that day. Ivanka Trump, then almost silent, like Melania, had displayed on her clothes a whiteness symbol of hope, peace and purity.

Although Ivanka Trump, who worked for 4 years alongside Donald Trump during his first term, has decided to retire from political life, she proves, with her strangely blue suit, that she still perfectly masters the codes of non-verbal communication. And knows how to talk about herself, without opening her mouth.
