Ivanka Trump wears 80s style puffball skirt suit for Buckingham Palace state visit

Ivanka Trump, 37, smiled as she stood on the balcony with her husband Jared Kushner, 38. The couple were not publically greeted by the Queen and other senior royals, although they will be joining them for lunch. For the special event, Ivanka wore an unusual pleated skirt and belted white jacket. The jacket had unusual puffed sleeves, giving the look an 80s feel.

The white belt had a large gold and diamante buckle which glinted in the sun.

Mum-of-three Ivanka wore her blonde hair straight down over her shoulders in a sleek, simple style.

She kept her make-up low-key, wearing a nude gloss and heavy mascara.

A pair of diamond stud earrings could be seen in her ears.

Despite royal women wearing tights as a matter of protocol, both Ivanka and Melania appeared to shun the item, choosing bare legs instead.

Yesterday, Ivanka posted an image of herself outside the V&A museum as she enjoyed some sightseeing on her first day in the capital.

Posing with a friend in green, Ivanka wore a vibrant yellow dress from Les Reveries, £590. She teamed this with a pair of bright blue court shoes.

The dress was fitted at the waist and came down past Ivanka’s knees.

Large puffball details on the sleeve gave the otherwise classic item a modern, cool edge.

Ivanka kept her eyes covered with a pair of dark sunglasses, and brown leather handbag could be seen swung over her shoulder.

Melania, meanwhile, opted for a navy skirt suit for her first moments on British soil today.

The First Lady was compared to a flight attendant in her outfit, which included a silk shirt from Burberry £650.

One commenter wrote: “I thought she was one of the flight attendants.”

Another joked: “Nice to see @FLOTUS doubling up as an air hostess today.”

And another questioned: “Did Trump make Melania work as an air hostess to pay for her flight over here?”
