Donald Trump's daughter donned an outfit by Jenny Packham, a favorite designer of the Princess of Wales, on Sunday, June 11th. Jared Kushner's wife chose the same dress in which Kate Middleton had radiated at the world premiere of the latest James Bond film.
During the weekend, he was notably absent. Indicted for mishandling state secrets after his departure from the White House, Donald Trump indeed missed his 11-year-old granddaughter Arabella Rose's bat mitzvah, which was celebrated on Sunday, June 11th. However, the following day, Ivanka Trump, the girl's mother, shared pictures of the religious milestone on her Instagram account. The businesswoman appeared smiling, dressed in a long sparkling blue cape dress. The outfit may appear familiar to the keen-eyed observers.
Designed by Jenny Packham, Kate Middleton's favorite designer, this dress adorned with pearls and sequins has already been worn by the Princess of Wales in its golden version. She made a notable appearance in this dress called the Lotus Lady at the world premiere of "No Time To Die," the latest James Bond film, held in London in September 2021. While the Duchess of Cambridge had complemented her look with metallic pumps, Ivanka Trump, on the other hand, opted for open-toe sandals.
The beginning of a "beautiful chapter"
During her bat mitzvah, Arabella Rose also chose a glittering dress. This is evident from a series of photos shared by Ivanka Trump. "With much love and immense pride, Jared (Kushner, Arabella Rose's father) and I celebrated our daughter Arabella's bat mitzvah last weekend," she wrote in the caption of the post. "We reflect on this weekend with hearts filled with joy and gratitude."
She added, "We couldn't be prouder of the extraordinary young woman she has become. Her kindness, creativity, humor, empathy, and passion have filled our lives with joy and inspiration. May her bat mitzvah mark the beginning of a beautiful chapter in her life." The post also includes pictures of Arabella Rose's two brothers, Joseph, born in 2013, and Theodore, born in 2016. It also features her uncles and aunts, Tiffany, Eric, and Donald Trump Jr.
