Ivanka Trump's Shimmering Silver Gown Takes Atlantic City by Storm
SCANDALOUS!
Ivanka Trump Stuns in a $10,000 Gown as She and Jared Kushner Attend Exclusive Charity Gala with Jay-Z and Beyoncé
The drama is heating up in Atlantic City as Ivanka Trump turned heads in a jaw-dropping shimmery gown at the Michael Rubin Reform Alliance Casino Night. The 33-year-old daughter of President Donald Trump looked absolutely stunning as she posed arm-in-arm with her dapper husband, Jared Kushner.
But what's even more fascinating is who else was in attendance! The power couple rubbed shoulders with A-listers like Jay-Z and Beyoncé, who headlined the star-studded event. And let's not forget the big-name donors, including Robert Kraft, Clara Wu Tsai, and Daniel Loeb, who co-founded The Reform Alliance with Meek Mill and Michael Rubin.
The Organisation Behind the Glitz and Glamour
But what's behind this luxurious charity gala? According to its website, The Reform Alliance is working to "transform probation and parole by changing laws, systems and culture to create real pathways to work and wellbeing." Sounds like a noble cause, doesn't it?
However, sources close to the event claim that each of the 300 VIP guests had to be approved by board members - talk about exclusive! And the price tag? A whopping $50,000 per ticket, with those who want to play in the tournament shelling out a cool $100,000.
Ivanka's Fashion Frenzy
Now, let's get back to Ivanka's stunning ensemble. She wore her long, golden blonde tresses down in a straight blow-dry and opted for full coverage makeup, donning sparkly eye-shadow and nude lip-gloss. And those shoes? A perfect match for the glitzy silver scoop-neck mesh gown she wore - a true fashionista's dream come true!
But what caught our attention was when Ivanka took her seat at a table alongside Michael Rubin and tried her hand at gambling with green chips. Talk about taking risks, darling!
The Weeknd Brings the House Down
And to top it all off, celebrity guests were treated to a full set performance by The Weeknd - we can only imagine how electrifying that must have been! Meanwhile, other A-listers in attendance included Ashley Graham, Latto, Emma Roberts, Cameron Diaz, Benji Madden, Travis Scott, and Kevin Hart.
The Last Time Around
This charity gala isn't new to the scene. In 2023, The Reform Alliance Casino Night raised an impressive $24 million for the organisation - a staggering amount that broke their own goal of $20 million!
But what caught our attention was Jay-Z's generous donation: one of his custom-made watches sold for a whopping $1.5 million. Talk about giving back in style!
The Trumps' UK Visit
And speaking of generosity, we have the scoop on President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump's upcoming state visit to the UK. The power couple will be greeted by the Royal Family at Windsor Castle next week - a historic moment that has left many tongues wagging.
According to sources close to the Palace, the Trumps will stay overnight at Windsor, a privilege afforded to only a select few US presidents, including Ronald Reagan in 1982.
A Guard of Honour Fit for a King
The ceremony is set to be nothing short of spectacular. A guard of honour made up of the State Colours of the Grenadier Guards, the Coldstream Guards, and the Scots Guards will line the route towards the castle. And as if that's not enough, there will also be a carriage procession through the Windsor estate with Charles, Camilla, William, and Kate.
The First Convicted Felon to Receive a State Visit?
But what's really got everyone talking is the unprecedented gesture of extending a state visit to President Trump, who has been convicted of various crimes. The Palace claims it's "an opportunity for the US and UK to strengthen their relationship" - but we can't help wondering if this is just a clever PR move.
The Royal Treatment
Meanwhile, First Lady Melania Trump will be busy with her own itinerary, which includes meeting chief scout Dwayne Fields and members of the Scouts' Squirrels programme at Frogmore Gardens in the Home Park at Windsor Castle. Kate, 43, will join her for a comprehensive schedule of events that's sure to delight.
The Humanitarian Crisis Looms Large
And as the Trumps prepare for their state visit, one question remains: will they address the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Gaza? Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey has announced plans to boycott the banquet to "send a message" about the situation - a bold move that's sure to spark debate.
The stage is set for an unforgettable few days of glitz, glamour, and politics. Stay tuned for more updates from The Scholarly Note!
