Ivanka Trump shares sweet family photo for Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a time to express your gratitude for all of the things in life you are most thankful for – and it seems for Ivanka Trump, nothing is more important than her husband and children. 

The 36-year-old first daughter took to Instagram on Thursday to mark the holiday by sharing a sweet family portrait, in which she can be seen posing proudly alongside husband Jared Kushner, also 36, and their three children. 

Ivanka is the epitome of autumnal chic in the snap, modeling a cozy navy turtleneck sweater, with a cream and brown pattern around the collar, tucking it into a pink pleated skirt, and finishing the look off with some black heels – no doubt one of her favorite styles from her eponymous fashion line.

What's up? The 36-year-old's youngest child Theodore, one, looks ever so grumpy in the picture, posing with his brow furrowed, and with his thumb in his mouth

That's better! Theo's older siblings, Arabella, six, and Joseph, four, happily beamed at the camera, clearly thrilled with the opportunity to pose for the snap

Jared, meanwhile, made sure to coordinate with his wife, wearing a matching navy sweater, which featured brown suede shoulder patches, over a pale blue shirt and dark grey trousers. 

Their three beloved children – Arabella, six, Joseph, four, and Theodore, one – all look very smartly dressed in their winter coats. 

Arabella can be seen standing with her back to the camera, looking over her shoulder for the picture, in which she is wearing a pretty pink hooded coat over what appears to be a red dress. 

Her younger brother Joseph is pictured beaming at the camera, clad cozily in a blue duffel coat with brown toggle closures. 

Their youngest sibling Theodore is dressed in a similar style, this time beige in color, however unlike the other two children, he seems less than impressed with the picture-taking process, and appears to be scowling slightly while sitting in his father’s arms, his brow furrowed as he sucks on his thumb. 

Ivanka posted the image on her Instagram Story on Thanksgiving Day itself, using a social media filter to add the words ‘Happy Thanksgiving’ in a fun festive font, while the family can be seen standing in front of a pillared entry way to a house, with pumpkins in the background. The family are, however, currently thought to be celebrating the holiday at President Trump’s exclusive Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, alongside Donald, Melania, and their 11-year-old son Barron.

The sweet snap was shared just a couple of days after the family shared another festive tradition – the annual National Thanksgiving Turkey Presentation at the White House, which Ivanka attended alongside her daughter Arabella, and son Joseph, as well as her husband, and stepsister Tiffany Trump, 24. 

Ivanka and Arabella put on a very festive show at the Tuesday afternoon ceremony as they attended the traditional turkey pardoning in matching red outerwear. 

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.

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. 

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.  

That's brave! Both Arabella and Tiffany went bare-legged at the event, despite the chilly November temperatures

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 Jared 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.

But Theodore did get to spend some special time with his mother earlier in the week. 

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.
