5 Ivanka Trump Outfits That Cost More Than The Average Rent

It's no secret Ivanka Trump is seriously rich. The star has a trifecta of wealth, as she comes from one of the most prosperous families in the world, she's a hardworking businesswoman, and she married into money (she and husband Jared Kushner have a combined net worth of over $1 billion, according to CNBC). So, it's no surprise Trump likes to dress the part. The beauty has a penchant for pricey designer duds, often gravitating towards luxury brands like Carolina Herrera, Oscar de la Renta, and Ralph Lauren.

In fact, Trump is such a fan of high-profile labels she regularly wears outfits that cost more than the average American's housing. Though it can vary across the country, the median monthly rent in the States as of November 2024 is $1,595, according to Redfin News. But that's nothing for this star. During a single photo shoot for Harper's Bazaar in 2016, she wore over $28,000 of clothing and accessories, including a $1,690 Oscar de la Renta belt, $8,750 Cartier watch, and a $6,990 Carolina Herrera dress. But even that was small change compared to some of the former "The Apprentice" star's most expensive looks.

When Ivanka Trump stepped out to support her dad Donald Trump at his notorious fraud trial in November 2023, she didn't seem too worried about appearing relatable with her fashion. The businesswoman wore head-to-toe designer gear that could have paid for the average American's rent for a whopping seven months. She entered the courthouse in a statement dark blue Carolina Herrera coat worth $4,990. Underneath, she wore a navy blue Another Tomorrow blazer and pants, thought to cost upwards of $2,200 for the two. Trump also showed her wealth via some very costly accessories, including a Chanel bag that retailed for $3,400. Then there were her Jimmy Choo pointed-toe heels (one of the trendiest footwear styles of 2023), which would set the average person back $775.

When it came time to dine with royalty at a London State Banquet in 2019, Ivanka Trump didn't miss the chance to go all out. She turned to one of her favorite designers, Carolina Herrera, to rub shoulders with the late Queen Elizabeth II and got her hands on a collared, light blue, floor-length gown with floral detailing that retailed for an eye-watering $11,600. That's over seven months' rent. The mom-of-two added strings of pearl necklaces and drop pearl earrings, which likely had a hefty price tag too. Ivanka didn't clarify how much her jewels cost, but we know she loves a splurge. "A timeless piece of jewelry, like pearls or stud earrings, has lasting value. I bought a vintage ring for $600 with my first paycheck," she told Redbook in 2012.

In 2018, Ivanka Trump proved just because designer clothing is (very) expensive, it doesn't mean it works. Trump's outfit seriously missed the mark after she parted ways with over three months' average rent in exchange for her $5,000 silver Carolina Herrera dress with ornate leaf detailing. The metallic garment's hefty price tag and similarities to the foil blankets worn by children in immigration centers caught social media users' attention — but not in a good way. "Who wore it better: Children detained in McAllen, Texas or Ivanka Trump?" one viral tweet, referring to Donald Trump's controversial immigration policy, read.

Ivanka Trump took sparkly Las Vegas fashion seriously in 2023 when she stepped out in Sin City in a dress worth just over two months' rent. The beauty wowed at the opening of the Fontainebleau hotel in an elegant gown by Monique Lhuillier, which featured a black, strapless top and silver sequins over the front and sides of the skirt. The cost? $3,495. Trump was extra glam with a red lip, standout pout a la Taylor Swift, but kept her accessories to a minimum to let the garment sparkle. She skipped overstated, pricey bracelets and necklaces and only wore drop earrings while carrying a simple, black, box clutch.

When Ivanka Trump walked with husband Jared Kushner and their son Joseph Kushner across the White House lawn in 2019, she made it look like a runway. A very expensive runway. The beauty wore a short-sleeved, tailored, white midi dress with black buttons and slingback stilettos. The waist-cinching Emilia Wickstead dress was would have paid rent for the month and then some, as it retailed for $2,110. And that's not even including her designer bag, which appeared to be her $3,400 Chanel Executive Tote. We're not surprised she gave the pocketbook another outing though, as she told Harper's Bazaar in 2015, "A great bag and a piece of statement jewelry are the fastest way to elevate an otherwise understated look."
