. . .and the blue-checks want to talk about is how her dress blew up in the wind:
On day 1 of Ivanka Trump’s 4-day South America trip, it was her dress that caught attn of US press, often more interested in missteps than admin‘s msg.
Dish-shaped sleeves flapped distractedly in wind as she laid a wreath to honor terrorism victims and posed with police cadets. pic.twitter.com/JYz9X5MqBx

VICIOUS: “Girl, you look fabulous!” pic.twitter.com/q960cQL9z4

But, actually, Ivanka took a page from Michelle Obama’s playbook with that dress. It’s by Colombian designer Johanna Ortiz:
As she travels to South America this week, @IvankaTrump is doing something @MichelleObama used to do a lot of, but @FLOTUS, not so much. Ivanka is practicing fashion diplomacy, wearing looks from a designer from the country she visits …

For recent events in Colombia, Ivanka has worn dresses by Johanna Ortiz, a high-end designer who lives and works primarily in Cali, Colombia, and who is known for her uber-feminine looks, lots of prints and flouncy ruffles. pic.twitter.com/ratPW0qNPq
