Ivanka Trump attended her half-sister Tiffany Trump’s wedding to Michael Boulos on November 12 in Palm Beach, Florida at Mar-a-Lago wearing a blue gown inspired by Galia Lahav’s “To Catch a Thief.”
To celebrate her sister’s nuptials, where she served as bridesmaid, Ivanka wore a baby blue Grecian-style dress with a shawl that covered her neck and back. The dress was floor length with a ruched bodice detailing. Ivanka coordinated the look with Jimmy Choo’s Gaia silver leather platform sandals.
Ivanka’s dress was similar to Grace Kelly’s blue dress in the 1955 film “To Catch a Thief.” Coincidentally, November 12, the day of the wedding, would also have been the former Princess of Monaco’s 93rd birthday. Many on the internet described this moment as Ivanka’s tribute to Princess Grace.

The original dress Grace Kelly wore in “To Catch a Thief” was designed by famed costume designer Edith Head, who won eight Academy Awards for Best Costume Design between 1949 and 1973, making her the most Awarded at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts. and History of Sciences. Although she did not win the Academy Award for Best Costume Design for “To Catch a Thief,” Head was nominated for the picture at the 1955 ceremony, losing to Charles LeMaire for “Love Is a Very Splendid Thing.”
Head’s blue dress for Kelly lives on as one of the most iconic fashion moments in film. Inspiration for the dress came from Christian Dior’s “The New Look,” which featured rounded shoulders, a cinched waist and a full skirt to celebrate femininity and opulence in women’s dresses.
For her wedding, Tiffany Trump selected an embellished Elie Saab wedding dress with a ballet neckline, tapered waist and sweeping train. Boulos wore a classic black tuxedo.
