Ivanka Trump shimmers in silver gown as she attends New Jersey charity gala with Jared Kushner – ahead of President Trump's state visit to the UK

Ivanka Trump turned heads in a stunning shimmery gown as attended aNew Jersey charity gala with her husbandJared Kushner on Saturday evening.

The daughter of President Donald Trumptook a trip down to Atlantic City for the biennialMichael RubinReform Alliance Casino Night, a star-studded evening headlined by Jay-Z andBeyoncé.

The 33-year-old put her best fashion foot forward and looked effortlessly elegant in a glitzy silver scoop-neck mesh gown, which she paired with matching open toe heels.

Ivanka – who accessorised with a black clutch bag and diamond earrings – turned heads in the jewel encrusted gown, which showed off her slim frame.

Meanwhile Jared Kushner, 44, stepped out in a dapper black tuxedo for the prestigious charity event as he posed arm-in-arm with his glamorous wife.

Jay-Z, Robert Kraft,Clara Wu Tsai, and Daniel Loeb came together andco-founded The Reform Alliance with Meek Mill and sports merchandiser Michael Rubin.

The organisation works to ‘transform probation and parole by changing laws, systems and culture to create real pathways to work and wellbeing,’ according to its website.

Each of the 300 VIP guests must be approved by board members, with tickets reportedly starting at $50,000, according to Page Six. However, those who want to play in the tournament will have to shell out a cool $100,000.

Ivanka 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.

The mother-of-three beamed as she posed with Kraft, Rubin and his wife Camille Fishel alongside her husband.

She also tried her hand at gambling as she took her seat at a table and played with green chips alongside Rubin.

The gathering was hosted at Ocean Casino Resort, which is among the town’s mostluxurious casino properties and celebrityguests were also treated to a full set performance byThe Weeknd.

And A-listers Ashley Graham, Latto, Emma Roberts, Cameron Diaz, Benji Madden, Travis Scott and Kevin Hart were in attendance yesterday.

The lastREFORM Alliance Casino Night was hosted in 2023 and was attended by Kim Kardashian,Tom Brady, Kevin Hart, Jack Harlow and Ne-yo, while performers includedTravis Scott, Fat Joe,Quavo, French Montana, among others.

In 2023, the casino event raised an impressive $24 million for the charity, breaking their own goal of $20 million.

Jay-Z donated one of his custom-made watches, which clocked in with a winning bid of $1.5 million.

This comes ahead of President Trump’s state visit to the UK on Tuesday next week.

Trump and his wifeMelania, were previously hosted by the Royal Family in 2019, under the reign of the late Queen.

During their trip overseas, the First Lady of the United States and Princess of Wales will visit a Scout troop.

Kate, 43, will join Melania Trump, 55, at Frogmore Gardens in the Home Park at Windsor Castle to meet chief scout Dwayne Fields and members of the Scouts’ Squirrels programme on Thursday.

There, the Princess – who has been Joint President of the Scouts since 2020 – and Mrs Trump will learn about the Squirrels’ Go Wild nature badge, awarded to inquisitive youngsters who care about the natural world.It’s part of a comprehensive schedule of events detailed by Buckingham Palace today ahead of the state visit, which begins on Tuesday and runs until the end of Thursday.

Though exactly whom the Trumps will be greeted by on Tuesday evening as they arrive remains to be seen – after the US Ambassador, Lord Mandelson, was sensationally asked to step down today due to his links with Jeffrey Epstein.

Mr and Mrs Trump were due to be greeted by Lord Mandelson and Viscount Hood, Lord-in-Waiting, on behalf of the King.

James Roscoe, the deputy head of mission at the British embassy in Washington, has been appointed interim ambassador as of Thursday lunchtime.

There is no public-facing element of the visit on Tuesday – but Wednesday will see Mr and Mrs Trump lay a wreath in Queen Elizabeth II’s tomb. He held the late Queen in high regard and the pair reportedly shared a strong rapport on his last visit in 2019.

On Wednesday morning, Mr and Mrs Trump will be greeted by the Prince and Princess of Wales before being formally welcomed by the King and Queen.

A royal salute will be fired from the east lawn of Windsor Castle, and at the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace has said. This will then be followed by a carriage procession through the Windsor estate with Charles, Camilla, William and Kate.

The route towards the castle will be lined with members of the Armed Forces, and three military bands from the Royal Marines, Army and RAF.

Mr Trump will then inspect a unique guard of honour at Windsor.

The Trumps will then take in the State Dining Room and a display of American memorabilia from the Royal Collection in the Green Drawing Room before the private visit to Queen Elizabeth II’s tomb at St George’s Chapel.

This will be followed by a short tour of the Chapel itself, a musical performance from the chapel choir, and a flypast by the Red Arrows and UK and US F-35s, followed by a special ‘beating retreat’ ceremony.

Later, the Trumps will dine at a grand state banquet at Windsor Castle, with speeches set to be given by both the 47th President and the King.

Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey says he intends to boycott the banquet to ‘send a message’ over the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Gaza.

Thursday September 18 will begin at Chequers, where a guard of honour from RAF Halton and bagpipers will greet Mr Trump as he meets Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and his wife, Lady Victoria.

He will have a personal viewing of the Sir Winston Churchill archives held at the grace-and-favour retreat in Buckinghamshire, before a bilateral meeting with the PM and a business reception hosted by the Chancellor, Rachel Reeves.

Mrs Trump will remain at Windsor, where she will look at Queen Mary’s Dolls House and the Royal Library before joining the Princess of Wales for the Scouts meeting.

She will later travel to Chequers where she and her husband will be bid farewell by Sir Keir and Lady Victoria, alongside The Lord Chamberlain, acting on behalf of the King.

The state visit is an unprecedented gesture towards the US leader – the first convicted felon to become American president – and goes against convention, that would normally see second-term presidents have tea or lunch with the monarch.

Both George W Bush and Barack Obama ate with the Queen on their return trips to the UK after a single state visit. Mr Trump’s successor and second-term predecessor, Joe Biden, did not have a state visit to the UK at all.

The Trumps will stay overnight at Windsor, a privilege afforded to Ronald Reagan, who became the first US president to stay at the royal residence in 1982, reported The Times.

And the guard of honour that Mr Trump will inspect will be made up of the State Colours of the Grenadier Guards, the Coldstream Guards and the Scots Guards – the first time three State Colours have featured in one procession.

The Palace said: ‘The president of the United States of America, President Donald J Trump, accompanied by the first lady, Mrs Melania Trump, will pay a State Visit to the United Kingdom as the guests of Their Majesties The King and Queen, from Wednesday 17th September to Thursday 18th September 2025. The president and first lady will stay at Windsor Castle.’
