Donald Trump’s granddaughter Kai continues to become a rising star, not just for her athletic talent or political appearances, but for her striking resemblance to her aunt, Ivanka Trump. Fans of the family can’t help but notice that Kai’s look, style, and presence mirror Ivanka’s from her own teenage years.

“You look so, so much like your Aunt Ivanka. Both beautiful,” one person commented on her Instagram account, while another chimed in, “Wow you look like your auntie, so many features. Stunning.” A third wrote simply, “You and Ivanka = twins.”

The pair seems to have a close relationship and have shared sweet moments together. Earlier this year, they posed for a photo with Kai wearing a gray knit dress with black tights and a trench coat, and Ivanka stood beside her in a matching forest green coat and skirt, topped with a chic beret.

Kai has also shared more behind-the-scenes family moments, including a photo at the Inauguration Ball, where she danced with her father, Donald Trump Jr., and Ivanka dazzled at the same event in a strapless Givenchy gown, inspired by Audrey Hepburn’s 1950s look.

While Ivanka has long been in the public eye, hosting Miss Teen USA as a teen, running a fashion business, and serving as a White House advisor, Kai seems poised to follow a similar path, with her own twist. She has also stepped into the political spotlight, first speaking at the Republican National Convention in July 2024.

Now 18, Kai will soon begin her collegiate journey as a Division I athlete on the University of Miami golf team. In August, she posted, “I would like to thank my mom, Vanessa, and my dad, Don, for always supporting me through my journey,” adding thanks to her “great team” and grandfather for giving her access to “great courses and tremendous support.”

But the comparisons to Ivanka go well beyond personality or ambition, as they extend into style too. In June, Kai posted a beachside photo wearing a white boho dress in the Bahamas. The look instantly recalled Ivanka’s 2023 Grecian vacation.

“Y’all look like sisters,” one follower wrote. Another posted, “Kai is destined for a career in politics.” But for now, she’s focused on school and sports.
