Fans of Ivanka Trump are increasingly requesting plastic surgeons replicate the first daughter's look, with New Yorkers' demand for the Ivanka look now rivaling that of reality star Kylie Jenner.
New York cosmetic surgeon Dr. Norman Rowe told Page Six that people in the city looking for a "permanent Ivanka" look are prepared to spend up to $50,000 for the privileged, or up to $40,000 for temporary fillers to achieve the likeness.
"I never saw [requesting the Ivanka look] before the primary," Rowe told Page Six, "since the summer of '16 . . . [we have seen] maybe four a month; one a week."
"Maybe they just like the look, but also that [she is] a powerful woman, self-confident, part of the first family. Do they want to be her? Yes, deep down, maybe," the surgeon added.
Despite Ivanka's father not proving to be a popular candidate in New York in the 2016 presidential election, with 79% of the city's residents voting for Trump's rival Hillary Clinton, Rowe said Ivanka's look transcends party lines.
"I don't think [political persuasion] plays a role in the least," Rowe explained of the decision for people to request Ivanka's look from a cosmetic surgeon.
"I think it has to do with somebody who you respect the way they look, and I don't think it's anything to do with whether you're blue or red," he added in the interview, explaining the Ivanka look was now as popular as that of frequently requested celebrity Kylie Jenner.
The first daughter's looks have previously been praised by people including her father, who famously commented if she wasn't his daughter, he might be dating her.
And speaking on The Howard Stern show in 2004, Trump said: "You know who's one of the great beauties of the world, according to everybody? And I helped create her. Ivanka."
"My daughter, Ivanka. She's 6 feet tall, she's got the best body. She made a lot money as a model—a tremendous amount," he added.
