16 photos show Tiffany Trump's style evolution, from New York socialite to first daughter

  • Tiffany Trump has been in the public eye her entire life thanks to her famous father.

  • Her style evolved as she went from socialite to first daughter when Donald Trump became president.

  • She often blends professional and laid-back looks.

As Donald Trump returns to the White House, his youngest daughter, Tiffany Trump, 31, is expected to remain distanced from politics as she did during her father's first term.

Although her role — or lack thereof — in the Trump administration isn't changing, Tiffany's life has changed pretty dramatically since her father first took office. She graduated from college, entered law school, got married, and is expecting her first child.

Tiffany's personal style has also transformed since she first entered the public eye.

Take a look at her fashion evolution, from her time as a New York socialite to her life as a first daughter.

When Tiffany Trump first started attending red-carpet events, she often wore minidresses.

In July 2011, she attended an event celebrating the cast of "Love, Loss & What I Wore" in a black minidress.

The dress had a straight neckline with a V in the center. She wore it with strappy black heels.

Her looks often had a daring edge in her socialite years.

Tiffany attended a New York Fashion Week event in September 2014 in a form-fitting blue minidress.

It had a chic halter neckline, and she paired the dress with black heels.

Tiffany was spotted in a sheer look in August 2015 — shortly after her father announced his candidacy for president.

Trump's youngest daughter didn't immediately change her style after her father announced his candidacy for president in June 2015. In August 2015, she attended a VH1 benefit in a minidress.

The halter dress dipped low in the back and featured a sheer base. It was overlaid with a layer of see-through fabric covered in a blue floral pattern.

Nude shoes completed the beachy look.

By the Republican National Convention in July 2016, Tiffany looked every bit the politician's daughter.

Tiffany gave a speech at the 2016 RNC, walking onstage in a blue dress.

It had a high, scooped neckline, a bow that cinched her waist, and a skirt that flared around her knees.

Both Trump sisters appeared alongside their father on election night in 2016 wearing light-blue minidresses.

Tiffany's silk column dress hit her mid-thigh. It was sleeveless, and sparkly gems trimmed the scooped collar. Nude heels completed her look.

The Trump sisters had another matching moment on Inauguration Day in 2017.

Tiffany and Ivanka coordinated their looks for Donald Trump's Inauguration Day in 2017, both attending in white ensembles.

Tiffany wore a custom Taoray Wang coat and coordinating dress. The coat was stark white and double-breasted, and she accessorized the look with a double-strand pearl necklace.

Tiffany chose a more elaborate look on the evening of Inauguration Day.

Tiffany tapped Simin Taghdiri of Simin Couture for her dress for the inaugural balls.

The strapless pink dress was form-fitting and flared to a mermaid skirt. It was covered in intricate floral embroidery with pops of blue, and textured embellishments adorned the trim of the neckline and waist.

The sparkly look contrasted the clean lines she wore earlier in the day.

After her father became president, Tiffany appeared in more professional dresses, as she did at New York Fashion Week in February 2017.

Tiffany attended a few Fashion Week shows in 2017, sitting front row at Taoray Wang's presentation on February 11, less than a month after wearing the designer at her father's inauguration.

For the occasion, she wore a white sheath dress with a low V-neckline and a pleat running down the center. A pink and beige coat and gold heels added pops of color.

However, in September 2017, she showed off a more daring side of her style in a minidress with cutouts and sheer detailing.

During a night out in New York City, Tiffany was photographed in a black dress that hit her mid-thigh.

Cutouts covered the top half of the long sleeves, and strips of silver and sheer fabric adorned the skirt's hem.

Tiffany added sparkly black heels to the look.

She rocked another see-through outfit during a night out in London in July 2018.

Tiffany and her mother, Marla Maples, stepped out at The Arts Club in London in July 2018.

Tiffany wore a powder-blue blazer and trousers, but her sheer, high-neck top was the standout aspect of her look. The black top featured a subtle striped pattern.

She added open-toe black shoes to the outfit.

She arrived at the 2019 Trump Christmas celebration in a semi-sheer lace dress.

The base of the dress was blue and strapless. It was covered with a sheer overlay adorned with floral black lace.

The lace formed off-the-shoulder sleeves, and Tiffany's black shoes matched the gown.

A sparkly shirt made Tiffany's outfit for the August 2020 RNC pop.

Tiffany spoke at the virtual Republican National Convention when her father ran for president in 2020, selecting a powder-blue suit.

The wide-legged trousers had pleats on the sides, showing off a strip of darker fabric. Tiffany also added a sparkly blue shirt to the look, blending the professional silhouette with textures she favors in her streetwear attire.

Tiffany chose a more muted ensemble when Donald Trump left office in 2021.

Tiffany was photographed exiting Air Force One in Florida in January 2021 after her father left the White House. She was wearing a knee-length black dress.

The double-belted sweater dress had a high neckline. She wore it with an oatmeal coat and sunglasses.

Ahead of her 2022 wedding, Tiffany was spotted in a blue floral dress, looking every bit the bride.

She wore a white dress covered in blue florals. It cinched at the waist and flared out before hitting her mid-calf.

After keeping a low profile in 2023, Tiffany reemerged at the 2024 RNC in a chic two-piece.

The outfit consisted of the sleeveless $247 Hughes vest, featuring buttons down the center, and the $172 Hope skirt. Both featured a subtle ruching pattern.

And she wore another white look on election night in 2024.
