Ivanka Trump posted a white dress for Lunar New Year, sparking a storm of criticism over cultural colour symbolism.
The President's daughter postedthree photos of herself on Instagram, in a bright white ensemble.
She added, 'Today, a new lunar cycle begins! The Year of the Fire Horse calls us to courage, to energy, to intention, and to fearless creation. It is a year for bold ideas, decisive action, and turning vision into something enduring.'
'I am stepping into it with clarity and conviction, ready to bring forward projects I have been quietly nurturing, ideas nearly ready to meet the light. I cannot wait to share them with you!
Forward, with strength. With gratitude. With purpose. Excited for what is ahead,' Trump concluded.
Her post was reshared more than 200,000 times. But the colour choice drew sharp criticism.
One angry comment read, that has now been deleted, 'Ever inappropriate Ivanka.'
Another, 'She's so condescending! I'm not really sure why Ivanka is bothering to pretend to care about the holidays. Genuinely puzzled about who this is supposed to be for.'
A third, 'A little cross‑cultural training for Ivanka and the Trump family would do wonders.'
'I didn't know Lunar New Year was a Jewish holiday...' posted another.
