A major difference between Barron Trump and his sister Ivanka Trump is how much he is in the public eye at 18. For example, a PR expert told The List that Barron will likely continue to value his privacy, much like his mother Melania Trump, in 2024. On the contrary, the year she turned 18, Ivanka had been walking runways for a while. She had a modeling career, working with designers such as Vivienne Westwood and Zang Toi.
She also had a career in print modeling. Ivanka was featured in “Sassy” magazine with her one-time friend Lysandra Ohrstrom. (Ohrstrom wrote a piece in Vanity Fair about how she and Ivanka met in seventh grade and were incredibly close friends for over 10 years but grew apart as they got older.) At 15, Ivanka was on the 1997 cover of “Seventeen” magazine. At 16, she was featured in a spread for the January 1998 issue. The photographs for that piece were taken at Choate Rosemary Hall in her dorm room and were shared by a fan on Instagram in 2019.
On the flip side, Tiffany Trump spent her teenage years out of the spotlight, which Barron has done since moving out of the White House. There are some signs that Barron is ready to step into the public eye, but he’s made no indication that he would follow in Ivanka’s footsteps to a modeling career.
