Ivanka Trump did not hold back on the lavish jewels at her father’s inauguration festivities, donning over $1.1 million (£894,564) worth of diamonds.
Lavish diamond collection from Leviev
At the events marking Donald Trump becoming the 47th President of the United States, the American businesswoman, 43, showed off her extensive diamond collection from Leviev.
During a dinner the night before the inauguration, Ivanka matched her Oscar de la Renta gown with a pair of Leviev drop earrings, which retail at $900,000 (£731,916). Breaking down the look in conversation with Business Insider, a representative from the brand said that the pear-shaped piece is 18.08-carat.
A tribute to Audrey Hepburn’s iconic fashion
Then, at the Liberty Inaugural Ball, Ivanka sported two additional Leviev pieces alongside her custom recreation of a 1954 couture gown worn by Audrey Hepburn. The dress was made in homage of Hubert de Givenchy’s 1954 Haute Couture black-and-white gown, which was originally designed for Audrey in the film Sabrina.
Ivanka’s representative said that she was “honoured” to wear the gown and “incredibly grateful for the Arnault family and Givenchy atelier for creating this masterpiece, capturing the original artistry and elegance with remarkable precision and craftsmanship.”
Finishing touches with more diamonds
She added to the look with a 50-carat mid-length diamond necklace costing $180,000 (£146,383) and a pair of diamond cluster earrings worth $60,000 (£48,794).
Israeli businessman Lev Leviev, 68, a billionaire diamond magnate who Forbes once referred to as ‘The King of Diamonds’, launched the business on London’s Old Bond Street in 2006. The luxury brand is said to have ties with Ivanka’s real estate investor husband, Jared Kushner, 44.
Leviev president and CEO Chagit Leviev told Business Insider: “We are proud to have our exquisite Leviev jewelry worn by Ivanka at this historic event with such elegance and poise. These diamond fine jewelry pieces made the perfect finishing touches to complete her iconic inauguration looks.”
