Ivanka Trump recently appeared alongside her father, President-elect Donald J. Trump, and surrounding family members in their first postelection interview, in New York City. The 35-year-old businesswoman wore a nude short-sleeved dress and opted for gold accessories, including a $10,800, 18K yellow gold diamond bangle from her eponymous jewelry line.
Soon after the interview it was revealed that one of the fashion maven’s employees sent an email to journalists offering style details on the expensive bangle.
Seeing as Trump’s eldest daughter is heavily scrutinized by the press and media alike, for the conflict of interest that lies in promoting her own business at high profile political appearances, it didn’t take long for social media users to take issue with Ivanka hawking her own expensive bangle on the segment. Many users felt that Ivanka was using this important interview as a marketing opportunity.
Ivanka Trump brand president President Abigail Klem said in a statement that a well-intentioned employee was to blame for the release who is still making adjustments post-election. “We are proactively discussing new policies and procedures with all of our partners going forward,” said Klem.
This isn’t the first time Ivanka has worn – and promoted – her own design.
In fact, throughout her father’s campaign, Ivanka was spotted in many pieces from her own label. She notably wore a $138 sheath dress from her clothing line to introduce Trump before he accepted the Republican Party’s nomination for the presidency at the Republican National Convention, back in July. She’s worn a number of other dress and shoe styles from her collections to appearances during the political campaign. Self-branding will always be controversial for high profile figures, especially for those with political ties, but it doesn’t seem like Ivanka plans to change.

Is she expected to wear someone else if she does not want to?
All Trumps must wear Hefty of they will be Impeached!!!
Seems this purple thing is real. Everyone bite the bullet and wear this color. Blending into the environment will stump the adversaries.
That classic Trump
He trolled the libtards good with that one
He got them talking about his steaks, water, wine, resorts, etc for a week
Tons for free advertising
Trump is the master troll
She’s not his “eldest” or “oldest” daughter; she’s his ELDER or OLDER daughter. These journalists don’t even know proper use of the English language. Worse, they are small, petty people.
I saw the interview and would have had absolutely no clue she was wearing a bangle from her own line (why would she wear another’s? Would Tiffany or Cartier have been a better choice?) or how much it cost. She’s a very successful businesswoman in her own right, her father is a billionaire, and her husband is a billionaire. She’s only wearing a cheap $10K bracelet?
Two words: boob belts
Should she be ashamed of it? Should she apologize for it?
She should have borrowed Hillary’s oven mitt outfit.
Surprised not to see a big rock on her wedding ring finger.
Hillary has been wearing $12,000 Armani pant suits and tent jackets
She should be ashamed to wear her own fashion line?
It’s more than any of them can afford. ( jealous)
I did not notice her jewelry. I was noticing her and thinking just how great it will be to see her and Melania in the White House.
No, because she is not that vile lump, Lena Dunham.
Come on, man :)
I am THRILLED that Trump is president and I dont care that she wears her own stuff or promotes it, but how can you possibly think she didn’t know the employee was going to contact the press?
She’s a business woman. It was a smart move. If it went over well, great! If it didn’t, it was some employee who would be set straight :)
THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG DONE HERE at all.
But we kept our eyes and ears glued shut for eight years under bush.
Let’s not go down that road again.
Last time I checked, the Trumps were human and WE THE PEOPLE need to make sure everybody who won stays the course.
Her employee screwed up by putting out a sales pitch for Ivanka’s jewelry after the event - apparently on her own
If you do not see this sales promo as tacky now that the family is presidential, then we agree to disagree
That’s it? So, what’s the problem?
