Tiffany Trump’s turn as a magazine cover star, photographed in silver and lace at her father’s Palm Beach club, has drawn a flood of replies that have nothing to do with the clothes.
Tiffany Trump, 33, President Donald Trump’s younger daughter, is the cover star of the latest issue of L’Officiel Monaco, part of the international L’Officiel media network, and critics seized on the timing of the photographs she shared on Instagram and X days before the Nov. 3 midterm elections.
The magazine ran the editorial under the title “Tiffany Trump: A Legacy of Her Own,” with the cover headline “Grace in Detail” and the cover words “Power. Poise. Purpose.” Photographers shot the series at her father’s Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Fla. On the cover she wears a sparkling silver gown falling to her feet, with a fuzzy white shawl draped over her right shoulder.
A Purple Gown on the Staircase
The look that drew the most attention inside the issue is a floor-length purple Silvia Tcherassi lace gown, sourced through the retailer Marissa Collections. The dress is almost entirely sheer over a nude underlayer. It hugs her figure before flaring toward the hem in an elongated, mermaid-like shape, sleeveless and cut to a high neckline, and she poses on one of Mar-a-Lago’s grand outdoor staircases, her long blonde hair swept to one side in loose waves.
A second look pairs 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. For that frame she leans on an ornate piece of furniture, one hand on her hip, hair down and swept behind her shoulders. A third image places her beside a massive lion statue in a sparkling turtleneck Luna B gown, a feathered scarf over one shoulder.
Jewelry throughout the series — a statement pendant necklace, earrings, rings and bracelets — comes from Palm Beach Gems by Nicole. The magazine framed the shoot around the conventions of haute couture and Trump’s own reading of feminine sophistication, and described the backdrop as the estate’s Mediterranean architecture, elaborate interiors and what the publication called its historic charm, plus Florida sunlight. A short behind-the-scenes video shows how the shoot came together.
“Tone Deaf” Lands in the Replies
Commenters tied the shoot to continued concerns over affordability and inflation during her father’s presidency. An account posting as Negative Nelly told her to read the room, darlin’, and said Americans cannot afford gas. Another commenter wrote that people cannot afford gas or food. A third said the dresses in the shoot cost more than the commenter’s own annual salary.
An X user posting as Jules wrote, “You look beautiful but this is pretty tone deaf.” An X user identified as Melanie Mathews called her tone deaf and blind to the perception of her frequent glamour posts. One commenter called the entire family tone deaf and described the vanity as the cherry on top. Another pointed to people unable to afford food, gas and health insurance. Someone else wrote that no one cares about her privilege and called the family sickeningly out of touch.
The French Revolution Shows Up
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,” and called her 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. One poster took a jab at her law degree and her photo filters in the same breath.
Her Father’s Supporters Join In
Some of the sharpest objections came from people who said they back her father. One of them 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.
Not every reply was hostile. Others called her gorgeous, stunning, beautiful and terrific, and heart emojis flooded her Instagram comments.
Trump holds a juris doctor from Georgetown University Law Center. Her father has said she was the top-ranked member of her law school class. Georgetown does not rank its students.
