Kai Trump has found herself at the center of another social media debate after proudly showing off her latest outfit.
The 19-year-old golfer and granddaughter of President Donald Trump took to her TikTok page to share a video of herself modeling a casual look.
In the clip, she wore a fitted charcoal-gray tank top paired with a dark denim skirt and a black belt with a gold buckle.
She completed the look with a necklace, bracelets, a smartwatch, and white sneakers, while styling her long hair in loose waves.
The video was captioned: "Been on my fashion grind."
But commenters were quick to poke fun at her look, arguing the outfit looked more everyday than runway-ready.
"Fashion grind, where lol?" one person wrote. "That's a regular outfit," another added.
A third simply commented: "All that money… and this is it." Meanwhile, a fourth questioned: "A skirt and a tank top?"
NBA Finals appearance sparked controversy
The post came shortly after Kai accompanied her grandfather to Game 3 of the NBA Finals.
Earlier this month, Kai joined Trump at Madison Square Garden, where the president became the first sitting US president to attend an NBA Finals game.
Before tip-off, the pair appeared together on the arena's jumbotron during the national anthem.
As the 80-year-old was shown on screen, loud boos could be heard from sections of the crowd.
Despite the reaction, he continued saluting and appeared unfazed.
Afterward, the teen shared a video from the event on social media alongside the caption: "Thank you to 15SOF for capturing this special moment with my Grandpa."
The post quickly attracted criticism from viewers who claimed the audio had been altered.
"Changing the audio is wild though," one person wrote. "That's embarrassing changing the audio," another added.
A third commented: "It's sad in a way that she had to change the audio from booing to cheers, my God are all the trumps fibbers."
A fourth wrote: "Why isn't the National Anthem playing in this clip? When I watched this clip LIVE, the anthem was playing and the boos were loud and clear. This is NOT an authentic clip."
Teen recently granted a restraining order
The latest backlash comes after Kai was granted a court-ordered restraining order against an alleged stalker.
According to court documents, the golfer sought protection from 26-year-old Gabriel Garza Jr., whom she accused of repeatedly trying to contact and approach her before her planned move to college, The Mirror reported.
A judge first issued a temporary restraining order before extending it through May 2027 following a court hearing.
Under the order, Garza must remain at least 500 feet away from Kai's home, workplace, and any events she attends.
He is also ordered to surrender any firearms and barred from going near the University of Miami, where Kai plans to enroll this fall.
In court filings, the teen described Garza as "homeless" and claimed he "lives in a car in area of Jupiter/Palm Beach County".
