The mother-of-three, who was in India earlier this week, was the picture of elegance in a $2,150 double-breasted cream coat by Altuzarra, which featured black piping and black buttons.

President Calvin Coolidge first lit the tree on Christmas Eve in 1923 while on the Ellipse in front of more than 3,000 people.
Since then, every president has carried on the special tradition. However, this year’s event was the first for the Trump family since the president took office in January.
Dean Cain and Kathie Lee Gifford hosted the event, and a number of celebrities performed, including Boys II Bow Ties, Craig Campbell, Jack Wagner, Mannheim Steamroller, The Beach Boys, The Texas Tenors, Us The Duo, Wynonna Judd, and the U.S. Navy Band, led by Emmy-nominated music director Steve Gibson.
The program is set to air on the Hallmark Channel on December 4.

The first daughter traveled to Hyderabad solo on Tuesday to headline the Global Entrepreneurship Summit at the invitation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
After giving the opening address, Ivanka returned to the gathering on Wednesday, wearing a tea-length red dress.
