A businesswoman in her own right, Ivanka always made waves when she would stand by her dad at political rallies.

After he was elected president in 2016, she joined the White House staff as an advisor and traveled the globe promoting the economic empowerment of women and their families.

Now, Ivanka’s travels are looking far different, as she’s mainly enjoying luxurious vacations with her husband, Jared Kushner, and their three children.

The former owner of a fashion brand, she’s always showing off her outfits at social events and posing for pictures with other celebrities.

One high-profile friend who she’s been spotted with is social media superstar Kim Kardashian.

Fans were shocked when Ivanka made an appearance at Kim’s star-studded birthday party in October.

It came weeks before Donald Trump called her the “most overrated celebrity” on social media as their love-hate relationship continues.

And fans of Ivanka didn’t like her attendance either, with one person saying the former White House advisor was “moving in the wrong direction.”

When asked about an Ivanka-less presidential bid, celebrity stylist and image consultant Amanda Sanders warned that it could hurt Trump’s chances.

“Ivanka Trump has always pulled herself together. She’s quite stunning and seems very intelligent,” Sanders said in an exclusive conversation with The U.S. Sun.

“There is a legitimacy about her.”

Sanders said that Ivanka really stands out from her siblings, especially her brothers Eric and Donald Jr.

She felt the brothers looked like “bumbling idiots” standing next to Ivanka and “serve no purpose.”

Sanders said Ivanka’s move toward being a socialite makes sense because “she always wore nice outfits and had a great sense of fashion.

“I think now that she doesn’t have to run under her father’s guidance, she’s enjoying life,” Sanders said.

“She gets to be a lady that lunches every so often.”

KIM AND IVANKA

Fans of Kim may not realize that she and Ivanka have been close for nearly a decade.

“Kim and Ivanka have been friends for years and have hung out on a number of occasions,” a source told Us Weekly.

“They initially bonded a decade ago at the Met Gala over motherhood and being new moms.

“But they continued to connect numerous times over the years.”

When Kim first met with President Donald Trump in May 2018, many people didn’t realize that Ivanka helped orchestrate it.

Jared Kushner revealed in his memoir, Breaking History, that Kim asked Ivanka to meet her father.

In September 2018, the two best friends teamed up again during a listening session on clemency and prison reform, which was spearheaded by Ivanka and Jared.

And the following June, Ivanka was right by Kim’s side as she announced her partnership with Lyft, as part of her latest criminal justice reform agenda.

Sanders said that Ivanka’s relationship could “certainly make her more popular” and assist whatever future endeavors she had planned.

“All of this could be her gearing up for something with her name on it… maybe even politics,” Sanders said.
