The Most Tragic Trump Family Outfits In 2023

Ivanka Trump owned a fashion line. Melania Trump studied design and strutted her stuff in the world's top fashion capitals. So, you would think the former first family would be style-savvy. However, out of all the ridiculously expensive things the Trumps spend money on, it seems clothing isn't one of them.

Aside from Melania and Ivanka, the Trumps have never been regulars on the best-dressed list. Donald's third wife tore up the FLOTUS fashion book when she entered the White House, with her own unique style aesthetic that was strangely militaristic. Melania isn't afraid to show off her playful side, though, like when she rocked a $39 Zara jacket with "I really don't care, do U?" emblazoned across the back to visit a child migrant detention center in June 2018.

However, despite his orange perma-tan and mysterious straw hair, Donald has zero sense of humor regarding his clothing choices. 45 plumps for suits and ties in public, except when he's on the golf course, where he throws caution to the wind and slips into some shapeless corduroys and a baggy polo shirt. Meanwhile, Eric and Donald Trump Jr. err on the side of dad dressing when excused from court duty. Or, of course, full-on camo when the bros are enjoying a day out blowing animals to bits. That said, the Trump cartel still manages to deliver some style shock and awe from time to time. We're channeling our inner Joan Rivers and diving into their most tragic outfits in 2023.

Where was Donald Trump Jr.'s stylist when Eric Trump needed him? Clearly, they were nowhere in sight, leaving the spare Trump standing out like a sore thumb in October when he hung out with the Frog-X-Parachute Team at the Trump National Doral in Miami. Sadly, Eric couldn't find a camo shirt in lilac, but thankfully, he scored a blue and green baseball cap with his name embroidered on it in the event he suffered a memory lapse.

However, Eric could be forgiven for not following the dress code, as he was truly radiant and fashion-forward in a fitted T tucked firmly into waist-high tight white belted jeans.

Ivanka Trump was feeling thirsty on her 42nd birthday in October. Either that, or she had to pop into Forever 21 at the last minute to buy a cheap frock after suffering a dress emergency. The usually on-point style maven was clad in a thigh-skimming, powder pink T-shirt dress with spaghetti straps and cut-out arm panels held together with rows of white plastic buttons.

You can't blame Ivanka for downsizing the clothing budget, though. In November, she attempted to skip out on testifying at the family fraud trial due to suffering "undue hardship" if she had to appear during a school week, so times must be tough for the Kushner-Trumps.

Donald Trump Jr.'s fiancé Kimberly Guilfoyle knows how to dress for the job she wants. The Fox News contributor looked like a bonafide Trump family stalwart when she and Donald Jr. hosted their 3rd annual Christmas party in December.

Guilfoyle added some embroidered patches and white poker dots to an old black net curtain and stuck it over a tight black mini skirt. She polished off her look with hanging diamond chandelier earrings, long white talons, dramatic makeup, and huge Texas blowout hair.

When MAGA 'Merica demanded patriotism, Eric and Lara Trump heeded the call and delivered. The couple's 4th of July celebrations continued through December 2023 as they pledged their allegiance to the United States of America and the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Lara wore a strange combo of the Statue of Liberty and Wonder Woman, with a flag-inspired red, white, and blue star-spangled sheath dress, matching choker, and superhero semi-cape. Meanwhile, Eric looked dapper in matching colors. Sadly for their loyal Second Amendment fan base, his fitted suit didn't allow for a gun holster.
