IVANKA STEALS THE SHOW AT SWISH NEW YORK BALL

SEND TO A FRIEND

15 DECEMBER 2006

Despite her insistence that she's happiest when at work on construction sites in her role with dad's company, Ivanka Trump can't escape her Park Avenue roots. The stunning model-turned-businesswoman made the most glamorous and polished appearance of the night at the Guggenheim Museum's Artist's Ball on Thursday.

The statuesque 25-year-old stepped out in jaw-dropping style, a burnished satin gown highlighting her curvaceous physique and descending to a dramatic train of ruffles at the back. Ivanka, who is a vice president of development and acquisitions at the Trump organisation, exuded movie star elegance as she joined a host of Tinseltown names at the glittering bash.

Roberta Armani, the niece of 72-year-old designer Giorgio, helped organise the stylish gala which was sponsored by the family's fashion label. An increasing fixture on the celebrity party scene, the striking brunette - who supervised the fittings for Katie Holmes' wedding dress - was reunited at the gathering with guests from the Cruises' wedding in Italy, including Will Smith's wife Jada Pinkett.

Kim Catrall, comedian Joan Rivers and R&B singer Mary J Blige were among the other famous faces attending the party - one of the highlights of the winter social season.
