Ivanka Trump back in NYC after White House uproar

NEWS: goo.gl/a3kAcQ



Ivanka Trump was back in the Big Apple on Thursday night and ready for a night out - with her in-laws.

The first daughter was spotted outside her apartment building a little after 5pm looking majestic in a mauve-colored velvet dress with a mock turtleneck and pleated skirt that she previously wore back in January for a date night with husband Jared Kushner.

She paired the frock with a clutch and silver heels from her eponymous fashion brand, marking the second day in a row she was proudly flaunting some of her retail goods after taking a break from wearing her looks in public.





The Oasis dress was a bargain as well, and looked far more expensive than its $113 retail price.

All that effort and the task of getting her three children up to the city was done so that she could attend a party being held at the $12million Fifth Avenue apartment of Jared Kushner's parents Charles and Seryl.



It is not clear what the event was for or who else was in attendance, with Ivanka seen entering and exiting the event surrounded by her Secret Service agents.

Prior to her evening on the town she could be seen juggling her two boys Joseph and Theodore outside her apartment while trying to get them all into a waiting SUV to take off for the night.

Jared was not seen at the couple's penthouse but did head to work early in the morning on Thursday, suggesting he may have wanted to finish up in time to head up to the Big Apple at the end of the day.



Trump was spotted strolling the streets of New York City earlier in the day while dressed down in an ovesized fur-lined parka with a pair of jeans and black flats.

She was joined by her mother-in-law Seryl Kushner, son Joseph and five-year-old daughter Arabella, who showed off her own fashion flair in a pair of cat ears while also carrying around a case of school supplies.

Three Secret Service agents accompanied the group as well, including Ivanka's right-hand woman, who has had a whirlwind week trailing her boss from Aspen to Washington DC and now up to New York.

Ivanka's journey back home comes less than 24 hours after the news of her appointment to a White House job as an adviser to her father, President Donald Trump.



The first family is now dealing with building backlash from both sides of the aisle after the announcement of the first daughter's post in the Trump administration.

Ivanka packed up and left New York City for her family's new $5.5million home just one day before her father was sworn in to office.

She also stepped down from her role in the Trump organization and as the head of her eponymous fashion brand prior to her move.

Ivanka also put the Park Avenue apartment she purchased in 2004 on the market for $4.1million in December, while also offering to rent it out for $13,000 per month.

She and Jared live in the penthouse of that same building, which is valued at $16million.

Ivanka's only other trip home came two weeks ago, when she joined Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada at the opening night of the Broadway play 'Come From Away.'



In anticipation of the backlash and criticism she was bound to face when the news broke, Ivanka released a statement on Wednesday in an attempt to quell the fears of those who might be angered by the move.

'I have heard the concerns some have with my advising the president in my personal capacity while voluntarily complying with all ethics rules, and I will instead serve as an unpaid employee in the White House Office, subject to all of the same rules as other federal employees,' said Ivanka in a statement.

'Throughout this process I have been working closely and in good faith with the White House Counsel and my personal counsel to address the unprecedented nature of my role.'

It would be difficult to declare the announcement of Ivanka's new position a surprise, as shocking as the decision to put her in a federal position may be to many.



President Trump's oldest daughter has been the only one of his five children to have remained by his side ever since he won the election this past November, first as part of his transition team and then by moving to Washington DC.

Ivanka seemed to take her time inserting herself into White House affairs in the first few weeks of her father's term, with her first appearance coming in early February when she accompanied her father to Dover Air Force Base to receive the body of a fallen SEAL Team 6 member.

That same day was also her first outing as President Trump's proxy, with Ivanka stopping by the Chinese Embassy for a party celebrating the lunar new year.

The first daughter was warmly greeted by Ambassador Cui Tiankai outside the event, who escorted her through the event which featured singers, dancers and art.

Always the thoughtful guest, Ivanka brought the perfect girl to wow those in attendance - her Mandarin-speaking daughter Arabella, 5, who sh
