Audrey Hepburn’s son is not surprised Ivanka Trump drew inspiration from such a fair lady.
Sean Hepburn Ferrer—the son of the Breakfast At Tiffany’s actress and her ex-husband Mel Ferrer—shared his thoughts on the first daughter wearing the black and white Givenchy gown (which was originally designed for Hepburn for the 1954 film Sabrina) to the 2025 Liberty Inaugural Ball in celebration of her dad Donald Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20.
“It is no wonder that growing up in a family which knew our mother as a household name she chose to draw inspiration from her,” Ferrer told DailyMail.com in a statement published Jan. 22, “to seek the ultimate elegance and class reference, for an occasion such as this one—the inauguration and the 32nd anniversary of our mother’s passing and, most of all, Martin Luther King‘s day. What a cocktail!”
Referring to Hepburn’s legacy as “transgenerational and transnational,” he added, “Her elegance, which has its roots in her inner beauty and spirit, is often a reference point, an anchor, for many celebrities, actresses and models in these times in which we appear to have somewhat lost our way.”
