In a statement from The White House (via The Daily Mail ), it was explained that Ivanka was “honored” to wear the gown and she was inspired by Audrey Hepburn.

Audrey Hepburn’s son chimed in on Ivanka Trump’s recent tribute to his mother. On Monday night, the first daughter, 43, attended her father President Donald Trump’s inaugural ball in a custom Givenchy Haute Couture gown — which was a re-creation of the late Hollywood star’s look in the 1954 film “Sabrina.”
