Ivanka Trump and her six-year-old daughter Arabella put on a very festive show on Tuesday afternoon as they attended the annual turkey pardoning at the White House in matching red outerwear.
The mother-daughter duo coordinated their ensembles perfectly as they were joined at the fun-filled event by Ivanka’s four-year-old son Joseph, and her stepsister Tiffany Trump, 24, who put on quite the sartorial display herself, showing off her bare legs in a thigh-skimming pink-red coat.
Statement-making coats appeared to be the order of the day, with Ivanka donning a pricey $2,995 double-breasted Dolce & Gabbana number which was incredibly reminiscent of the uniforms that are so often worn by flight attendants.

Saying hi: The mother-of-three happily leaned forward to greet the fortunate bird
Family ties: Ivanka’s jacket made quite the statement at the event – making her look like a flight attendant. Arabella’s tweet bow-embellished design was adorable, however
Far from being your run-of-the-mill uniform, however, the quirky red outerwear had several rather more remarkable features, including eight purposefully-mismatched buttons across the front, and a floral jacquard collar.
Ivanka paired the pricey piece with a $1,695 floral jacquard skirt by the same Italian label – which is a favorite of her stepmother Melania Trump.
She finished off her look with some thick black tights, and a pair of black patent stilettos.
But it wasn’t just the outfit that Ivanka appeared to have put extra effort into on Tuesday; her long blonde locks, which she often leaves hanging loose around her shoulders, were styled in a chic-looking updo at the back of her head.
She then added a plain black headband to keep any whispy pieces away from her face, and no doubt to hold the style in place.
First daughter Ivanka even stepped up her jewelry game, wearing funky pearl earrings in each lobe.
That’s brave! Both Arabella and Tiffany went bare-legged at the event, despite the chilly November temperatures

Ivanka has certainly been stepping out of the style box this week – and she isn’t afraid to show off her fashion-forward looks to the cameras.
For the second day in a row, the first daughter confidently strutted her stuff on the sidewalk outside her Washington, D.C. home, happily smiling at the cameras as she left her home in the very quirky ensemble.
It could well be that Ivanka purposefully plumped for a more out-there ensemble in anticipation of the numerous photographers present at the White House event on Tuesday afternoon, with both of her children also dressed to the nines for the special occasion.
While Joseph looked smart in a long navy coat with brown collar, matching trousers, and some dark colored sneakers, his sister wore a long red coat, complete with a sweet bow at the neck.
Like her aunt Tiffany, the young girl was bare-legged, however she added a pair of black knee-high boots, no doubt to keep her feet warm and dry and she strolled around the White House lawn.
Ivanka’s husband, senior White House advisor Jared Kushner, 36, also attended the ceremony – which is the 70th anniversary of the quirky White House tradition – although there was no sign of their youngest child Theodore.
Ready to hit the skies? Ivanka made her way to work earlier that morning in her Dolce & Gabbana peacoat, which looked very much like an outfit worn by a flight attendant

However, while Tuesday might have been a particularly special day, Ivanka proved the day before that she does’t necessarily need an excuse to show off a more out-there ensemble.
On Monday morning, the first daughter cut a striking silhouette as she headed to work in a coordinating checkered ensemble.
Ivanka had an early start of the week and stepped left her house in Washington, D.C. home around 7:30.
She donned a black top with a light check pattern, along with matching flare pants just short enough to reveal pointy black stilettos.
The former model carried her usual oversized black purse as she headed towards her parked Secret Service SUV.
She kept her long, blonde hair tucked in a low ponytail, letting her dangle earrings take center stage.
Ivanka finished off her outfit with a bright red lipstick, giving her outfit a fun touch.
When she leaned in to get into her vehicle, she revealed that her ponytail was kept together thanks to a strand of her own hair wrapped around the hair tie.
Her husband Jared was also seen leaving their home in the upscale neighborhood of Kalorama, but departed an hour earlier, around 6:30.

Lost in thought? Later on Monday, both Ivanka and Jared looked gloomy as they listened to President Trump announce that the US will designate North Korea a state sponsor of terrorism
Family: On Sunday, Ivanka shared this photo of herself with her youngest child, son Theodore, who is one, captioning it ‘the perfect way to end the day!’
The White House adviser stuck to his classics with a suit and tie, keeping a pile of paperwork tucked under his arm.
Though they left their house separately, Ivanka and Jared were reunited on Monday during a cabinet meeting at the White House.
Both of them looked rather gloomy as they listened to President Donald Trump announce that the US will designate North Korea a state sponsor of terrorism.
On Sunday night, Ivanka shared a sweet photo of herself cuddling with her youngest child, son Theodore, who is one, and a giant teddy bear, captioning it ‘the perfect way to end the day!’
Earlier on that day, Ivanka was spotted leaving the home she shares with Jared and their three children, looking ready to hit the gym, after spending much of the weekend serving as the butt of many a joke on social media.
She was dressed casually for her active outing, wearing a pair of black leggings with sheer panels across the leg.
She paired the cropped pants with a simple black zip-up hoodie and matching black and white sneakers, as well as a pair of sunglasses to shield her eyes from the bright morning light.
The first daughter was bare-faced, choosing to go make-up-free for her gym trip, allowing her to show off her naturally glowing complexion to full effect as she hopped into a waiting SUV, which was being driven by her Secret Service protection squad.

Her blonde hair was also worn in a very casual style, pulled back in messy ponytail.
While Ivanka’s eventual destination is unknown, her Secret Service agents were wearing their badges outside their coats, suggesting that the group was headed to the White House gym.
The outing occurred after Ivanka found herself at the center of a viral Twitter joke concerning a very strange Thanksgiving decor recommendation shared by her eponymous brand on its official account.
While posting about its Thanksgiving decor suggestions, tips, and tricks, the brand posted a tweet which read: ‘Have no idea how to decorate your Thanksgiving table? Problem solved.’
But it was the accompanying image that prompted Twitter to respond with a flurry of mocking messages.
Pictured was the brand’s suggested centerpiece for the table – half of a giant clam shell that had been stuffed with driftwood, moss, tangles of weeds, unwanted pine cones, dried milkweed and what appeared to be zombified albino pumpkins.
Interior designer Allison Domonoske, who wrote an article on the… unique decoration for Ivanka’s blog, described the ‘overall look’ as ‘classic and classy.’
Twitter, to put it mildly, disagreed, with dozens of amused, and in some cases outraged, users responding with some very blunt, and very funny, messages.

That’s one Hill of a design: The similarity between Ivanka Trump’s clam centerpiece and the one attempted by Peggy Hill in the sitcom King of the Hill did not go unremarked upon
Trashed: Many users felt that the items in the shell – which included driftwood, moss and pine cones found on the ground- looked more like garbage than decorations, such as this user
It’s bin done: This user suggested a less chaotic option – putting the ‘garbage’ inside a bin, then putting the bin in the shell – than the one on Ivanka’s account
Got wood? Ivanka Trump’s lovingly crafted Thanksgiving clam-heap was compared unfavourably to this pile of bracken and hacked up tree bits

Just regular people: The notion that people might have giant clam shells, obscure pale pumpkins or $75 Waterford wine glasses to hand led to many people mocking the billionaire heiress for being out of touch
It’s in vogue now: This user suggested a meal to go along with the decoration, with this gruesome photo of an Alien-like crab-turkey-squid-bacon monstrosity
Grand designs? This user joked that if only the Trumps could get more gay men on their payroll this wouldn’t happen. Many of New York’s prominent fashion figures, such as Marc Jacobs, were ardent Hillary Clinton supporters during the election
Orange is the new snack: This user suggested more prison-friendly arrangements, hoping that the Trump family might find itself incarcerated in the near future
