Many of Sweeney’s followers also took notice of several partygoers wearing red hats that were similar in appearance to the headwear that has been worn by Donald Trump’s supporters.

The headwear was spotted on a number of guests in a video that the actress shared of herself dancing with her loved ones.

The actress’ younger brother Trent shared a photo of himself posing with two hat-wearing guests to his Instagram account earlier this week.

He also wrote a short message in the post’s caption and expressed that ‘The hats say “Make Sixty Great Again,”‘ an apparent reference to his mother’s age.
