Kai Trump has gathered attention during her ESPYs red carpet appearance. The 19-year-old was attending the annual sports awards in a shimmering gown. However, the internet’s focus quickly turned to her appearance. Many social media users were critical of her makeup and spray tan.
Kai Trump’s red carpet appearance quickly became the focus of online criticism
Kai attended the red carpet wearing a glittering gold gown with silver detailing. The dress featured a thigh-high slit and pearl accessories. She completed the outfit with gold cuffs and loose blonde hair. Her glamorous look immediately attracted widespread social media attention.
Many social media users focused on what they described as her spray tan rather than her outfit. Several users compared her ‘orange glow’ complexion to Donald Trump‘s signature appearance, while others commented on the contrast with her bright smile.
Some users also speculated about whether her bright white smile was the result of veneers, while others compared it to the broad smiles often seen in both her father, Donald Trump Jr., and her mother, Vanessa Trump.
Online criticism continued throughout the evening after the red carpet photos were circulated.
Kai attended the ceremony as a guest rather than a nominee. She had recently graduated from high school before committing to Miami. The recent high school graduate is set to join the University of Miami’s women’s golf team this fall, and her growing public profile has continued to attract media attention.
Some social media users questioned why Kai attended the ESPYs, while others said her golf career and growing profile made the invitation understandable.
The 2026 ESPYs celebrated achievements across the sports world, bringing together athletes, celebrities and other high-profile guests.
