Ivanka Trump has always had a sharp sense of style — after all, she did get her start in fashion — but now she’s bringing that same trendy eye to the White House.
Since the ‘90s the blonde beauty has been in the spotlight, first as a New York teen socialite then taking after her mom Ivana and becoming a model. Gathering a deep understanding of what to wear and when to wear it at such an early age, she then went on to become a successful businesswoman, running multiple jewelry and fashion companies.
Now, as an advisor to her president father Donald Trump, she continues to tap into her extensive knowledge of clothing and style.
Since her father was inaugurated as president in January 2017, the 37-year-old has been by his side in Washington, D.C., clothed in the feminine but professional threads she’s long become known for. From international visits to congressional meetings, you can always expect the mom of three to nail style expectations — sometimes even exceeding them.
Keep scrolling to see her entire political style evolution, from Inauguration Weekend to today.
