Ivanka Trump’s latest TV appearance has sparked a wave of online chatter—and not for her political commentary. The 43-year-old former White House adviser appeared on CNBC last week to pay tribute to right-wing podcaster Charlie Kirk, who was fatally shot on September 10 at a university event in Utah.
During the interview, Ivanka praised Kirk’s dedication to debate, dialogue, and free speech, calling him “a good man” and “a champion for the cornerstone of democracy.” However, viewers quickly turned their attention to her hair.
Social media users speculated that Ivanka’s long blonde locks may be a wig and noted that the style bears a striking resemblance to that of her stepmother, Melania Trump, who often wears darker hair in a similar middle-parted style. One viewer wrote, “100% wig,” while another added, “She’s trying to pull off Melania’s hairstyle.” Others chimed in, noting that if her hair were darker, she would look even more like Melania.
Not all reactions were critical. Some users defended the former advisor, emphasizing that the focus should remain on more important issues. “Does it really matter? I think there are more important things happening in the world,” one commenter said, while another simply wrote, “She looks gorgeous regardless.”
The appearance also comes amid reports that Ivanka, who had vowed to stay out of politics after serving as a full-time adviser during her father’s first term, is taking on a new role. She is reportedly assisting UFC CEO Dana White with plans to stage a UFC event on the White House grounds, signaling a return to high-profile engagements despite previously admitting she “hates politics.”
