Washington, D.C. – Ivanka Trump turned heads on Sunday night, dazzling in a custom Oscar de la Renta gown as her father, President-elect Donald Trump, hosted a candlelight dinner at the National Building Museum. The exclusive event, held just hours before Trump’s inauguration as the 47th president of the United States, drew a crowd of high-profile guests, including some of the most influential figures in business and politics.
Ivanka, the president-elect’s eldest daughter, mingled with attendees, including Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. Cameras captured a warm embrace between Ivanka and Bezos’ fiancée, Lauren Sanchez, highlighting the convivial atmosphere of the evening.
A Star-Studded Event
Ivanka’s Oscar de la Renta gown, described by the fashion house as an “off-shoulder, crystal and pearl floral-embroidered empire waist gown with a silver stole,” set the tone for the event’s elegance. Her brother, Donald Trump Jr., attended alongside his girlfriend Bettina Anderson, while his ex-partner Kimberly Guilfoyle was also present.
Vice President-elect JD Vance was seen with his wife, Usha Vance, who wore a custom noir velvet Oscar de la Renta gown adorned with asymmetric floral accents.
The guest list included tech titans Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, who were seen conversing animatedly throughout the evening. Bezos’ fiancée, Lauren Sanchez, was also spotted seated at one of the tables, adding to the glamour of the event.
Trump’s Remarks and Ambitious Plans
Taking the stage, President-elect Trump addressed the room, expressing gratitude to his supporters and outlining his vision for his presidency. He criticized the Biden administration, describing its term as a “failure,” and vowed to reverse its policies through an aggressive slate of executive orders.
“By this time tomorrow, I will have signed close to 100 executive orders,” Trump declared. “We will not waste a single moment in delivering on our promises to the people.”
Trump’s actions are expected to focus on bolstering border security, dismantling federal diversity and inclusion policies, and revitalizing the energy sector. His remarks signaled the administration’s intent to make a strong and immediate impact on policy direction.
A Historic Inauguration on the Horizon
The dinner and Trump’s rally earlier in the evening marked the final events before his second inauguration. Braving rain and freezing temperatures, thousands of supporters gathered in Washington, D.C., to witness Trump outline his bold agenda for his second term.
As the evening came to a close, the energy was palpable, with guests and supporters alike awaiting the transformative actions promised by the president-elect’s decisive leadership.
