Ivanka wears nearly £4,000 in designer clothes to testify at dad Trump's lawsuit
As Ivanka strode into court today, she was draped head to toe in designer duds - which is usual for the daughter of Donald Trump, who, like her father, was born into the real estate inheritance acquired by her grandfather and is worth millions now herself.
Ivanka Trump wore navy from head to toe, in a long blue Carolina Herrera coat that is worth between £700 ($860) and £900 ($1,100), matching suede blue Jimmy Choo heels, also worth £600 ($750), and a Chanel briefcase bag in navy, which ranges from £800 ($1,000) to £2,800 ($3,500).
No word yet on the designer that made Ivanka Trump's court suit, but with the matching blazer and flare pants set, it was finely tailored and upholds her image as the daughter and wife of real estate moguls. Ivanka's net worth is set at £650million ($800million).

As much as Donald Trump and his team tried to keep Ivanka from testifying, they failed, and she was ordered to appear before the judge today in New York City.
Donald Trump's scandalous The Apprentice sacking and his unexpected replacement"My wonderful and beautiful daughter, Ivanka, is going to the Lower Manhattan Courthouse, at the direction of Letitia Peekaboo James ... and a Trump Hating, out of control Clubhouse appointed Judge, Arthur Engoron, who viciously ruled against me before the trial even started," Trump wrote on Truth Social regarding Ivanka being ordered to speak.
Her father gave caustic testimony on Monday and was repeatedly scolded by the judge. Her brothers each spent more than a day on the witness stand last week. Trump and his sons are known for their showmanship, posing for courtroom photos and making speeches before they enter the courtroom.
However, Ivanka has avoided all that. No cameras are allowed in the courtroom today and she did not stop to acknowledge the small crowd that had gathered outside the courthouse to support her. Ivanka even avoided eye contact with New York Attorney General Letitia James as she walked past her to sit in the witness stand.
Unlike her father and her brothers Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., she is no longer a defendant in New York Attorney General Letitia James’ lawsuit. James alleges that Donald Trump’s asset values were fraudulently pumped up for years on financial statements that helped him get loans and insurance.
Ivanka Trump was an executive vice president at the family’s Trump Organization before becoming an unpaid senior adviser in her father’s White House. Like her brothers, who are still Trump Organization EVPs, she has professed minimal knowledge of their father’s annual financial statements.
“I don’t, specifically, know what was prepared on his behalf for him as a person, separate and distinct from the organization and the properties that I was working on,” she said during sworn questioning for the investigation that eventually led to the lawsuit. She said she didn’t know who prepared the statements or how the documents were compiled.
As a Trump Organization executive, Ivanka Trump dealt with securing a loan and a lease for a Washington hotel and financing for the Doral golf resort near Miami and a hotel and condo skyscraper in Chicago, according to court filings.
As her father’s inauguration neared, she announced in January 2017 that she was stepping away from her Trump Organization job. After her time in the administration, she moved to Florida. An appeals court dismissed her as a defendant in the lawsuit in June, saying the claims against her were too old.
