Ivanka Trump wears Kate Middleton's new favourite brand for royal visit

President Donald Trump and Melania Trump were joined for the first time by his daughter, Ivanka Trump, and her husband, Jared Kushner, on their latest UK state visit.

The couple attended the welcome ceremony at Buckingham Palace, which was also attended by the Queen, Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall, before heading to Westminster Abbey to lay a wreath at the Grave of the unknown Warrior.

It seems Ivanka did her sartorial research prior to the trip and opted for an outfit by a designer who's become a favourite with the young royals: Alessandra Rich.

Sticking carefully to the royal on-duty dress code, Ivanka paired a modest white midi pleated skirt (£855) with a vintage-inspired peplum jacket (£1,558.96), crystal belt and matching fascinator.

Kate Middleton was seen in a striking polka-dot number by the London-based brand less than a month ago during a visit to Bletchley Park. The outing marked the second time the duchess had been seen in the vintage-inspired frock. It was first debuted in a series of official photographs to mark the Prince of Wales' 70th birthday.

Kate's younger sister, Pippa Middleton, is also a fan of the label, and she wore a sky blue design by Rich to the christening of Prince Louis in July 2018.

The designer also has links to the Duchess of Sussex. Megan Markle's Suits co-star, Abigail Spencer, wore the designer to attend the actress' royal wedding to Prince Harry back in May 2018.
