A glittering silver gown on the cover of a French Riviera fashion magazine has pitched President Donald Trump’s younger daughter into an argument about the price of gas and groceries.
Tiffany Trump, 33, is the cover star of the latest issue of L’Officiel Monaco, part of the international L’Officiel media network, for an editorial titled “Tiffany Trump: A Legacy of Her Own” that was photographed at her father’s Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Fla. She shared images from the shoot on Instagram and X. The replies did not stay on the clothes.
“You look beautiful but this is pretty tone deaf,” wrote an X user posting as Jules.
The cover shows Trump in a sparkling silver gown falling to her feet, a fuzzy white shawl draped over her right shoulder, beside the headline “Grace in Detail” and the words “Power. Poise. Purpose.” Critics zeroed in on the timing, days before the Nov. 3 midterm elections and amid continued concerns over affordability and inflation during her father’s presidency.
Read the Room, Darlin’
One account, posting as Negative Nelly, told her to read the room, darlin’, writing that Americans cannot afford gas. Another said she could not afford gas or food. A third wrote that the dresses in the shoot cost more than her annual salary. An X user identified as Melanie Mathews told Trump she was tone deaf and blind to how her frequent glamour posts are perceived.
Others widened the target to the family. One commenter called the entire family tone deaf and described the vanity as the cherry on top. Another wrote that people cannot afford food, gas and health insurance. Someone else said no one cares about her privilege, calling the family sickeningly out of touch. Not every reply was hostile: some users called her gorgeous, stunning, beautiful and terrific, and heart emojis flooded her Instagram comments.
Sheer Lace on the Grand Staircase
The look drawing the most attention inside the issue is a floor-length purple Silvia Tcherassi lace gown, sourced through the retailer Marissa Collections, that reads as almost entirely sheer over a nude underlayer. It hugs her figure before flaring toward the hem in an elongated, mermaid-like shape, with a sleeveless cut and a high neckline. She posed in it on one of Mar-a-Lago’s grand outdoor staircases, her long blonde hair swept to one side in loose waves.
A second look goes the other direction: a plunging, off-the-shoulder black Rachel Gilbert gown, also from Marissa Collections, with sculptural silver embellishments framing a deep V that sits remarkably low in front. In one frame she leans against an ornate piece of furniture, one hand on her hip, hair down and swept behind her shoulders. Another image places her beside a massive lion statue in a sparkling turtleneck Luna B gown with a feathered scarf over one shoulder. The jewelry throughout — a statement pendant necklace, earrings, rings and bracelets — came from Palm Beach Gems by Nicole.
The magazine framed all of it around the conventions of haute couture, saying Trump brought her own reading of feminine sophistication to the series. The estate’s Mediterranean architecture, its elaborate interiors and what the publication called its historic charm supplied the backdrop, along with Florida sunlight. A short behind-the-scenes video showed how the shoot came together.
Marie Antoinette Enters the Comments
Several users reached for the French Revolution. One posted an edited image of the president’s daughter with a dialogue bubble reading “Let them eat cake,” adding that she was so out of touch. Another asked whether the family’s tone-deafness is genetic. One suggested she visit sick children in a hospital instead, writing that to whom much is given, much is expected.
Her credentials came up too, with one poster jabbing at her law degree and at photo filters in the same breath. Trump holds a juris doctor from Georgetown University Law Center. President Trump has said his daughter was the top-ranked member of her law school class; Georgetown does not rank its students.
Some of the sharpest objections came from people who said they back her father. One told her to go do work in her profession rather than post pictures flaunting her wealth. “I love Trump but [she] needs to read a room!” another commenter wrote.
