While once Ivanka Trump was a conservative darling, the first daughter has fallen out of favor with much of the right, including the president.
Republicans' perception of Ivanka Trump has dropped as the first daughter has been increasingly seen as a moderating force. Even President Trump was reportedly frustrated after Ivanka criticized Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore, who has been accused of sexual harassing and assaulting teen girls.
Over the same period, Hope Hicks has stopped taking fashion cues from Ivanka and moved on to Melania Trump.
Hicks debuted the new fashion strategy at a state dinner in Tokyo. Instead of the soft dresses that Ivanka is known for, the communications director showed up in a sleek suit that could have come straight from Melania's closet.
As Ivanka's reputation has tanked, perception of Melania has only gotten better. According to a recent CNN poll, the first lady has a 48% approval rating, compared to the president's 38%.
So, it shouldn't be that surprising that Hicks' new wardrobe is filled with Melania-inspired, high-fashion looks. Melania's sense of fashion is sleeker than Ivanka's, with more makeup and sharper angles.
Hicks seems to have picked up on the intricacies of both women's tastes.
Hicks isn't someone who will publicly trash members of the Trump administration. Instead, she is more subtle in signaling her allegiance.
As other members of the Trump administration have fallen to the wayside, Hicks has held on and risen through the ranks. She knows how to stay in the good graces of the president and right now, that looks like trying to copy Melania, not Ivanka.

Rubbish.
Pathetic. It’s even pathetic for fake news.
Pardon me for sounding a little bit sexist, but I say this goes under the catagory of “Things Women Worry About.”
This happens with every administration though.
I recall Luci Johnson being called “Watusi Luci”, because she dared to tap her toe to The Twist in public.
smh
The author of this article misspelled her name. It should be Catty Taylor.
I don’t remember the Democrats saying anything when a huge percentage of women in the US tried to dress like Jackie Kennedy.
Can you imagine the wild images and the Barry White songs going through his mind then?
“Whoa! Good thing she can’t read my mind, right now. Hope is way above my pay grade, and we both know it.”
Petty?
Yes, although I did catch Hope paying a bit too much attention to her hair, prior to a Trump speech at the Capital.
Hope always seems to be glowing, even in the dark.
The girl is lit up.
I can hardly explain it. Maybe she just has good clear skin.
She couldnt just be against Moore. She had to say special place in hell.
its all that college lacrosse at SMU. girl is fit! Corey had a few hot red blooded shouting matches at the towers with her...
She’s a Synth.

Oh the drama. sarc/
