Eye-catching from top to bottom, Ivanka’s look included a long-sleeve dress that featured sparkling gold fleck detail, complemented by dangling diamond earrings.

The entrepreneur danced the night away with her husband, Jared Kushner. Ivanka has gone on hiatus from Brand Ivanka to pursue her social causes alongside the new president.

In an ABC “20/20” interview, the entrepreneur said it was an “emotional” decision.

“My father will be president, and hopefully I can be there to support him and to support those causes I’ve cared about my whole professional career,” she said.

Meanwhile, first lady Melania was a vision in a sleek off-the-shoulder white Hervé Pierre dress that she helped design. It featured asymmetric arc detail, a high slit up the front and a red ribbon around her waist.

“It’s an honor to dress the first lady,” Pierre told WWD. “I was actually lucky because over my 20 years in the U.S., I dressed all the first ladies: Mrs. Clinton at Oscar [de la Renta], Mrs. Bush and Mrs. Obama at Carolina Herrera. So I feel lucky and honored to dress Melania Trump, but this time under my name.”

Pierre added that Melania was well-versed in fashion. “She knows what she likes,” he said. “Our conversations were, and are, very easy. She knows about fashion, as a former model. She is aware about constructions, so we have already the same vocabulary when it comes to designing a dress.”
