In India, Ivanka Trump Tried on Some Fashion Diplomacy. Was it a Good Look?
And that evening, though breathless rumors had abounded earlier in the week
that she was going to wear a sari gown specially made by the Indian designer Neeta Lulla, a favorite of Bollywood stars, in fact she wore another Tory Burch creation: a long-sleeved, round-necked gown with stylized gold floral embroidery that again had an ersatz Indian theme.
It would have been a pretty big statement if Ms. Trump had worn it,
but all the Tory Burch was also interesting, given Ms. Burch’s very vocal support of female entrepreneurs — her foundation has a fellows program geared specifically to support women starting their own businesses — and her brand’s contemporary-ish price points.
On Monday evening, for example, she made her initial appearance in a Tory Burch “Sylvia” jacket: a black
style covered in mother-of-pearl embroidery that called to mind Indian prints and architecture.
Though Indian style watchers were generally positive about the dinner dress and pleased
that Ms. Trump had abandoned her usual garb for more demure, covered-up styles, there was some griping.
