Ivanka Trump attends a front-row welcome ceremony at the White House for Chinese President Xi Jinping and his wife Peng Liyuan, wearing a gown and jacket by Chinese fashion designer Guo Pei. Multiple outlets report she wears a robin’s egg blue outfit with silver details and sits among prominent officials during the Thursday event.
The ceremony comes as Xi arrives in the United States for a high-profile, multi-day state visit focused on bilateral talks, including trade, artificial intelligence and international relations. Ivanka’s daughter, Arabella Kushner, also has a prominent seat at the ceremony and is reported to wear a Self-Portrait outfit.
Outlets largely agree on the setting, the attire and the fact that Guo Pei is a major internationally known Chinese designer, with media highlighting the visibility of Ivanka’s outfit at the diplomatic event. The coverage emphasizes different points—some focus on the fashion choice and its symbolism, while other reporting situates it within the broader context of the Xi visit and the officials attending.
