The first daughter, 36, left her home in Washington, D.C. around 8:45 this morning, greeting the day in the red ensemble.
She paired her suit with a simple black turtleneck and her trademark five-inch black stilettos, and carried her matching coat on her arm as she walked towards the parked Secret Service vehicle waiting for her outside of her house.

She returned to Washington in time to celebrate the seventh night of Hanukkah with her family yesterday evening.

Since her move to Washington in the early days of the Trump administration, Ivanka has spoken very little about her conversion to Judaism before she married Jared.
Despite this, she has been very active on Instagram with regards to her faith, and has shared several festive pictures over the past week.
Earlier yesterday, Ivanka was pictured leaving Fox & Friends, smiling at the few passersby who had gathered to witness her exit.
The senior White House adviser wore a form-fitting blue dress and kept her hair down in a slick blow-dry during the interview, which focused on the GOP’s proposed tax plan.
By the time she left Fox’s studios in New York City’s Midtown, Ivanka appeared to have completely changed her clothes, and cut an all-black silhouette, save for a few details.

Greetings: The first daughter turned to acknowledge the handful of children and adults who were taking her photo
She donned a pair of quirky black shoes with kitten heels and straps made out of rows of white pearls, and had a white Peter Pan collar peeking out at the top of her outfit.
Ivanka wore her hair in a low ponytail tied with a long, flowy black ribbon.
She waved as she exited the studios and walked towards her parked car, and acknowledged the handful of children and adults who were taking her photo nearby.
Ivanka appeared to be in a sunny disposition, perhaps excited to be back in New York City, which she left for D.C. after her father became president and she and Jared both took on senior roles in his administration.
Fox’s headquarters in New York City are located just a 13-minute walk away from Trump Tower, where Ivanka’s brand opened a new store just last week.
During her interview on Fox & Friends yesterday morning, Ivanka said Republicans are on track to approve tax cuts before Christmas.
‘In business, until it’s done it’s not done, but we feel very, very confident, so the momentum is there. We’re very excited,’ she said. ‘When the vote is done, we’ll be done, but we’re going to deliver historic tax reforms, and it’s going to happen before Christmas.’
The president’s daughter has had a heavy hand in framing the GOP’s tax reform plan as beneficial to the middle class and pushing through a large increase in the child tax credit. She traveled across the country, appearing at public events, and made several trips to Capitol Hill.
After reaching a deal on Friday, Republican lawmakers now plan to approve tax legislation in the House on Tuesday and the Senate on Wednesday.

‘It’s gonna be the fulfillment of an enormous campaign promise, and something that’s just tremendously important for the American people,’ Ivanka said Monday. ‘So we feel it. This is something the people of this country want.’
At several turns the bill was nearly derailed, with Florida Senator Marco Rubio saying he could not vote for the plan until the child tax credit was increased to the level he and other conservatives in the Senate had demanded.
Senator Bob Corker at the same time said that he could vote for a bill that blows a new hole in the federal deficit.
Two Republican senators, John McCain and Thad Cochran, are battling health issues that have kept them out of Washington.
Senator McCain has returned to Arizona for physical therapy and rehabilitation following a hospital stay. He’ll remain there until after the Christmas holiday.
President Donald Trump said Sunday that he’d spoken to McCain’s wife, Cindy, and it was his understanding that the senator would fly to Washington if his vote was necessary.
Vice President Mike Pence meanwhile delayed by several days a visit to the Middle East so he can preside over the Senate during the vote, in which he may need to act as tie-breaker.
President Trump has been claiming for months that the overhaul would not only pass this year, but that it would be approved by December 25.

He told reporters on Saturday as he departed for Camp David: ‘This is going to be one of the greatest gifts for the middle income people of this country that they’ve ever gotten for Christmas.’
The bill that Republicans released Friday evening keeps the seven existing tax brackets. It lowers the rates, however, on everyone, including the nation’s wealthiest earners, and slashes corporate taxes from 35 per cent to 21.
Corporate taxes will be permanently lowered, while individual rates will decrease for a period of less than 10 years. The temporary tax cut must be reapproved in 2025 or it will disappear.
Another significant change to the code is a cap on state and local tax deductions of $10,000. Republicans claim that middle-income Americans in high-tax state will save money nonetheless if they take the standard deduction, which is set to double to $12,000 for individual filers and $24,000 for couples.
The child tax credit is also doubling to $2,000 after last-minute finagling, led by Rubio, $1,400 of which will be refundable.
Touting the bill Monday on Fox, Ivanka said taxpayers ‘want simplification. They want a tax code they can understand. They want lower corporate taxes and understand the benefit if they’re – the companies they work for can invest in their work forces, invest in new equipment and ultimately lead to wage growth.’
Ivanka dinged Democrats the administration had attempted to bring on board for standing in the way of the bill’s passage, responding to a prompt from Fox & Friends host Steve Doocy.
‘We’ve had a lot of very productive conversations with Democrats, who I believe are intellectually there, their hearts are there, but the party is not there, and the leadership’s not there. And that is unfortunate,’ she said.
‘But I’m hopeful with this really enormous and this win for the American people, we come into 2018 with such tremendous momentum that we galvanize support and cohesion, not only within the party.’
