Ivanka Trump leaves private residence wearing pencil skirt as Donald departs for Europe

Ivanka Trump, 36, was in Washington DC today pictured leaving from her private residence.

The daughter of US President Donald Trump looked serious and businesslike and she strided out of the gated building.

Ivanka was spotted at the same time Donald and Melania Trump were leaving for Europe, boarding a flight bound for Brussels in Maryland.

Possibly stepping into her father’s absent shoes, Melania looked poised and ready to go as she left her home.

She wore a business-like black pencil skirt and shirt combination.

The tailored, chic pencil skirt perfectly framed around Ivanka’s trim figure, featuring a fish tail hem.

The mother-of-three matched the skirt with a feminine emerald green blouse.

Embellished with a black pussy bow tie, the blouse was long sleeved and appeared to be made of a light-weight, floaty material.

The statuesque blonde elongated her 5’11 frame even more, donning a pair of six-inch black pointed toe stilettos.

Under her arm she carried a back notebook, possibly heading to White House or cabinet meetings.

Along with being ‘first daughter’, Ivanka also hold a more official title in her father’s government of Advisor to the President of the United States.

With Donald aboard a flight to Europe, Ivanka could be stepping in and on her way to attending some political events or meetings.

Donald and Melania are on their way to Brussels, where Donald will attend the NATO Summit.

Following the summit, the Trumps will fly to London for an official state visit.

The trip is the first time the couple have been to the UK since president Trump’s inauguration.

Yesterday Ivanka was spotted in a slightly different scenario, visiting a manufacturing plant in New York state.

She posted a series of images of her visit to her Instagram page, which has racked up an impressive 4.4 million followers.

Aways one to look impeccably dressed, Ivanka wore a lovely pink and white checkered summer dress, despite the nature of the visit.

Never one to dress down, the 36-year-old wore a pair of black patent high heels as she toured the asphalt plant.

Photos showed the mother-of-three meeting with hard hat and high vis-clad workers, and even boarding and what appeared to be a large factory vehicle.
