Distraction
Many users dismissed the coverage of Ivanka Trump's haircut as a distraction from other news stories. Some even implied that the First Daughter was doing this on purpose — changing her appearance to attract attention away from her father's questionable response to Hurricane Dorian, or other big headlines.
Optics
To the extent that Ivanka Trump's haircut was an attempt to manipulate her public image, many users thought it failed. They listed their grievances against her online freely, assuring her that no haircuts would make them forget about her true background.
Feminist Empowerment
More than a few people thought that Ivanka Trump's haircut sent mixed messages in terms of feminism and female empowerment. They suggested that if the first daughter wanted to represent strong women in politics, she should spend less time and energy on her looks, not more.
Matching
Of course, plenty of people critiqued Ivanka Trump's new look on a superficial level as well. Many thought that her latest shade of blond was too far off from the color of her eyebrows.
Copycat
Some users rejoiced at Ivanka Trump's new hairstyle, saying that they would follow suit on this fashion trend. Others declared that they would let their hair grow out so as not to be mistaken for the first daughter.
'Just Fake'
Many people tweeted that Ivanka Trump's hair contributed to an overall aesthetic of contrivance. They complained that the first daughter was inauthentic, and that the haircut made that worse, not better.
'Free PR'
Of course, many people out there skipped over Ivanka Trump to condemn the outlets who were covering her hairstyle. Many tweeted at The Daily Beast, condemning an article in which hair experts critiqued the first daughter's new look.
"Stop giving her and her monstrous family free PR," one person wrote.
"To whoever wrote this... F— off," wrote another.
'Succession'
Finally, many people noted an apparent connection between Ivanka Trump and a character in HBO's hit drama Succession. Actress Sarah Snook told E! News that her character Shiv Roy was modeled after Ivanka Trump. In Season 2 of the series, Shiv returned with a newly shortened haircut, and about a week later, Ivanka debuted the same look. Many people speculate that this was done on purpose, on one end or the other.
