Fashion enthusiasts have long admired the Princess of Wales for her impeccable style, characterized by chic tartan prints, playful polka dots, tailored coats, and glamorous ball gowns. Recently, it seems that Kate's signature fashion choices have also caught the attention of Ivanka Trump, the daughter of former President Donald Trump, as she has often been spotted sporting looks inspired by the royal’s wardrobe.

Ivanka Trump has consistently mirrored Kate's style, incorporating both royal chic and old Hollywood glamour into her own fashion choices. One notable instance was Ivanka’s appearance at her father’s inauguration, where she wore a forest-green Dior skirt suit. This outfit echoed Kate’s 2012 look, where she wore a green ensemble by LK Bennett, featuring a V-neck jacket, pencil skirt, and a black belt cinching the waist. Both women completed their looks with matching accessories, including hats and gloves.

At the Liberty Ball in Washington, D.C., Ivanka further embraced classic Hollywood glamour in a Givenchy Haute Couture gown, which was reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn’s iconic dress from the film Sabrina. Ivanka’s off-white gown, adorned with black satin ruffles, mirrored the 1954 design. Princess Kate, too, was seen channeling elegance at the 2023 BAFTAs, wearing a one-shoulder Alexander McQueen gown, which she had previously worn in 2019. This sophisticated dress was updated with sleek black opera gloves, making it both timeless and chic.

Ivanka’s taste for vintage glamour was also evident in her choice of a camel-toned Oscar de la Renta ensemble, which she wore during a wreath-laying ceremony ahead of President Trump’s inauguration. Similarly, Princess Kate sported a similar camel coat by Max&Co in 2022, both looks exuding understated elegance.

Ivanka also seemed to embrace one of Kate's favorite colors—red. For the National Prayer Service at the National Cathedral, Ivanka wore a custom Suzannah London vermillion red coat dress with a statement bow, reflecting a nearly identical style to Kate’s 2021 look. Kate’s scarlet red coat dress, paired with a matching clutch and heels, was equally stylish and bold.

When it comes to glittering gowns, both Ivanka and Kate have had their moments of sparkle. Ivanka wore a Jenny Packham turquoise sequin gown for her daughter’s Bar Mitzvah, which bore striking similarities to Kate’s glamorous Jenny Packham gown at the 2021 No Time to Die premiere. Both dresses featured cascading sequins and a sculpted waist.

Additionally, Ivanka embraced Kate's fondness for polka dots in a dress by Alessandra Rich back in 2018. The navy-and-white frock, cinched with a chunky belt, mirrored Kate’s favorite spotted dress, which she wore on multiple occasions. The timeless charm of these dresses showed how both women share a penchant for vintage styles.

Ivanka has also worn chic white power suits, another staple in Kate's wardrobe. Ivanka was seen in a polished white suit at a United Nations meeting in 2019, while Kate wore a similar ivory Alexander McQueen suit during her royal tour of Jamaica.
