Ivanka Trump and her daughter, Arabella Kushner, occupied prominent front-row positions at a White House ceremony welcoming Chinese President Xi Jinping and his wife, Peng Liyuan. Trump wore a robin’s-egg-blue dress and matching jacket by Chinese designer Guo Pei, according to the South China Morning Post.

Ivanka Trump attended a White House welcome ceremony for Chinese President Xi Jinping and his wife, Peng Liyuan, wearing a dress by Chinese designer Guo Pei, according to the South China Morning Post. Trump, the eldest daughter of US President Donald Trump, wore a robin’s-egg-blue dress with a matching jacket. Her 15-year-old daughter, Arabella Kushner, accompanied her at the event.

The pair occupied prominent front-row positions during the ceremony, alongside Vice-President J.D. Vance and his wife, Usha Vance. The seating arrangement drew attention because members of Donald Trump’s cabinet were also present, although the supplied report does not provide further details about the arrangement or their reaction.

The appearance combined a formal diplomatic event with a visible connection to Chinese fashion through Trump’s choice of Guo Pei’s design. The source material does not state whether Trump met Xi or Peng during the ceremony, or explain the wider programme for the Chinese president’s visit.
