NEW YORK, Jan. 30 (Xinhua) -- Ivanka Trump, eldest daughter of U.S. President Donald Trump, has been criticized for wearing a fancy silvery gown as protests erupted all over the country against his father's order banning refugees and travelers from some countries.

The response on the social media was fierce after Ivanka Saturday tweeted a photo of herself and husband Jared Kushner dressed for a black tie event. She was in a 5,000 U.S.-dollar silvery gown by Carolina Herrera.

"Let them eat cake!" mocked the tweets and Instagram comments on Ivanka's accounts, comparing her to Marie Antoinette, the French queen who is popularly criticized for her lavish spending, and for being out of touch with the common people of her country.

It was not unusual for the first daughter to share pictures and videos of her daily life, but this one was badly timed, many local media outlets noted.

Over the weekend, hundreds of protesters gathered at international terminals all over the country after President Trump signed an executive order on Friday barring all refugees from entering the U.S. for 120 days. The order also bars the admission of refugees from Syria indefinitely and halts entry to the U.S. for three months to residents from seven Middle East and North African countries.
