Ivanka Trump and husband Jared Kushner recently went West - with the first daughter sharing a carousel of pictures from the recent trip to Wyoming.
The 43-year-old donned a series of western-themed outfits for her time in the Mountain West sub region - but one item of clothing in particular has sparked a furious response.
In two of the snapshots shared by the mom-of-three, she was seen wearing a short mini skirt which featured a Native American print and tassels, sparking outrage from fans over apparent cultural appropriation.
'The skirt I'm sure was inspired by indigenous people something you and your family have no respect for,' criticized one horrified user.
'That outfit looks ridiculous on you... really,' one user slammed.
'Cultural appropriation!' admonished someone else.
Another chimed in that the 'indigenous outfit is cultural appropriation.'
'Are these Halloween outfits? Incredible,' joked another.
Ivanka had paired the skirt with white cowgirl boots and a black sleeveless shirt in one snap.
And, in another picture shared, she accessorized with a denim jacket and small brown bag as she cuddled up and posed next to her 44-year-old husband.
As per Native Blog, cultural appropriation of Native fashion in the United States has suggests not only that Native American life and cultures existed only in the past, but also that Native clothing is mere costuming, primitive, warlike or only for mascots.
According to Travel Wyoming, the state has been home to many Plains Indian tribes, including the Arapaho, Arikara, Bannock, Blackfeet, Cheyenne, Crow, Gros Ventre, Kiowa, Nez Perce, Sheep Eater, Sioux, Shoshone and Ute tribes.
Today, both the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho reside on Wyoming's Wind River Indian Reservation, the site noted.
In another snapshot from the trip, Ivanka wore a sage green dress with long sleeves and a long, flowing skirt. She paired it with a boho disco belt on her hips and her white cowgirl boots.
It is not known when the pictures were taken, with Ivanka adding a simple caption that read: 'A couple summer Fridays ago…'
It is not the first time the husband and wife have visited the western state, spending a remote July 4th weekend there in 2020, as well as attending her brother-in-law Joshua Kushner's star-studded Western-themed second wedding to model Karlie Kloss in 2019.

Just last month, Ivanka and her family - Jared, plus their three kids - Arabella, 13, Joseph, 10, and Theodore, eight, were seen in Venice for pals Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos' wedding.
The family were seen doing some exploring around Venice before the festivities officially kicked off - with Donald Trump's grandkids all smiles for the outing.
Since then, Ivanka was also spotted at 'billionaire summer camp' - also known as Allen & Co.'s annual leadership retreat - in Sun Valley, Idaho.
The summer retreat included some laid-back activities like biking and hiking, per The Observer, but most importantly, the moguls were there for business.
Also on the agenda were 'high-level meetings and private lectures,' the outlet reported, many of which are confidential and closed off to the public and media.
