‘Unsubscribe’: Iconic fashion house catches online heat after dressing Ivanka Trump
A legendary fashion brand is feeling the heat.
Oscar de la Renta, which was founded by the late Dominican designer who died in 2014, is a hot topic on the Internet, and not for the right reasons.
The esteemed label, which has dressed the likes of former first lady Jill Biden, posted that it was responsible for a sparkly creation Ivanka Trump chose Sunday for the Inaugural Candlelight Dinner.
Next to a picture of the 43-year-old in the beaded beauty, the caption explained the custom piece was an off-shoulder, crystal and pearl embroidered empire- waisted gown, accessorized by a silver stole.
Some folks who didn’t likely vote red said they were unfollowing the iconic brand, which also dressed the mother of three in a floral camel coat at a Sunday wreath laying ceremony at Arlington Cemetery.
“ODLR sold their soul. Unsubscribe.”
“Sad to be done with odlr.”
“Not the house’s proudest day.”
OK, at least a few people clicked the like button, including Jeff Bezos’ fiancée, Lauren Sánchez, who called Ivanka’s look “beyond magic.”
Others, too, accepted the situation of the current administration and called for an immediate ceasefire.
“Isn’t it time to stop the hate and move forward. Her dress is exquisite and she looks amazing. Oscar is the ultimate designer.”
“Politics aside, I think we can all agree that this is a beautiful, timeless dress. I personally think she has always been a fashion icon!”
