Audrey Hepburn’s Son Reflects on Ivanka Trump’s Tribute

In a recent interview with Daily Mail, Sean Hepburn Ferrer, the 64-year-old son of Audrey Hepburn, expressed his appreciation for Ivanka’s tribute. He explained that he wasn’t surprised by Ivanka’s choice to draw inspiration from his mother. “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, 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,” Sean said.

He described the moment as a “cocktail” of significant events, acknowledging how Ivanka’s choice of gown aligned with a day of great historical and cultural importance.
