Ivanka Trump's daughter, Arabella Rose Kushner, is slowly starting to steal the spotlight from her mom. The 15-year-old is beginning to carve out her own sartorial agenda – and it's being defined by elegant black gowns and tailored suits.

For the White House dinner welcoming Chinese President Xi Jinping for a state visit, Ivanka and her daughter slipped into chic gowns that oozed luxury. The First Daughter wore a baby-blue silk maxi dress that featured a strapless, corseted bodice embellished with intricate beading and delicate fringing. The gown was styled with silver pointed-toe heels and a pair of diamond drop earrings.

Ivanka's luscious blonde locks were styled into soft waves with a side parting while her makeup oozed glam, courtesy of a dark smoky eye and a glossy lip.

Meanwhile, Arabella looked like her mom's twin in a timeless black dress that featured a deep V-neck with delicate straps and a flowing silhouette. For a touch of glitz, Arabelle accessorized with a diamond-encrusted tennis necklace. Her brunette locks were swept back into an updo and she sported the same bold smoky eye as her mom.

"Some magical moments before last night‘s State dinner," penned Ivanka on Instagram alongside a series of photographs of the pair.

For the official welcoming, Ivanka wore  a baby blue maxi dress that featured long sleeves, a high neckline and an A-line silhouette. The garment, cut elegantly at the ankle, was embellished with intricate silver sequin embroidery. The look appeared to be a daytime iteration of her more glamorous evening gown.

Ivanka praised Melania's parenting

The First Daughter has previously credited her late mom, along with her stepmother, Melania Trump, for their parenting roles. "She was the ultimate role model. It was always clear to us that we were her priority, but that doesn't mean we got her 24 hours a day," she shared to People. Ivanka also said Melania is  "a great inspiration." "She's done an amazing job sheltering [Barron] from the chaos that comes along with a presidential campaign. Melania is an unbelievable mother," she added.

Regine Mahaux, Melania’s official photographer, exclusively spoke to HELLO! about the First Lady's close bond with her son. "The way she takes care of her father Viktor and Barron, who is an amazing, strong young boy… there is something about her. She makes everybody calm," they shared.
