On India visit, Ivanka Trump dons an Anita Dongre sherwani
What's the story
During their India visit, all the nitty-gritty surrounding Trumps were covered with great detail. After a grand welcome in Ahmedabad on Monday, the President of the United States Donald Trump along with his family attended a ceremonial welcome at Rashtrapati Bhavan in Delhi today. But it was Trump's daughter, Ivanka, who grabbed eyeballs, as she donned a stunning sherwani by Indian designer Anita Dongre.

As she arrived at the Rashtrapati Bhavan with her husband Jared Kushner, Ivanka looked gorgeous in an all-white ensemble. For the special occasion, Ivanka opted an Indo-western fusion by Dongre, comprising a full-sleeved bandhgala sherwani made from handwoven Murshidabad silk and straight-fit pants. She completed the look with mid-parted open hair, a pair of traditional gold Polki earrings, and a pair of ballerina flats.

Dongre called the garment "timeless and classic"
Speaking about the garment, Dongre said, "Ivanka is wearing a sherwani made out of handwoven silk from Murshidabad, West Bengal. It is timeless and such a classic." "We created this style twenty years ago and it's amazing to see how beautifully relevant it is even today. A powerful, standout silhouette, a sherwani carries the same charisma in absolutely any color," the acclaimed designer added.
