When Ivanka was attending boarding school as a teenager, she began modeling "on weekends and holidays, engaging in fashion runway work and was featured in advertisements for Tommy Hilfiger, Thierry Mugler, Elle, Vogue, Teen Vogue, and Harper's Bazaar. In May 1997, she was featured on the cover of the youth fashion magazine Seventeen, which ran a story on celebrity mothers and daughters. She has since been featured in numerous fashion magazines, including Vogue, Glamour, Marie Claire, and Elle and has graced the covers of such magazines as Harper's Bazaar, Forbes, Forbes Life, Marie Claire, Golf Digest, Town & Country, Elle Décor, Shape, and Stuff. In 2007 and 2008, she was featured on Vanity Fair's annual International Best Dressed List.

In 2006, Ivanka filled in for Carolyn Kepcher on five episodes of the fifth season of her father's television program The Apprentice. She permanently replaced Kepcher as a primary boardroom judge during the sixth season of The Apprentice and its follow-up iteration, Celebrity Apprentice.

Business Career

After graduating from Wharton, Ivanka briefly worked for Forest City Ratner, one of the world's largest real estate managers, before joining her father's company, The Trump Organization, as Executive Vice President of Development & Acquisitions, charged with the domestic and global expansion of the company's real estate interests.

Soon after joining the Trump Organization, Ivanka also began a jewelry, shoe, and apparel line. She was featured in several women's and special interest publications and was featured on the cover of some, including Harper's Bazaar, Forbes Life, Golf Magazine, Town & Country, and Vogue.

In 2007, Ivanka formed a partnership with Dynamic Diamond Corp. to create Ivanka Trump Fine Jewelry, a line of diamond and gold jewelry sold at her first flagship retail store in Manhattan in November 2011. She also had her own line of Ivanka Trump fashion items, which included clothes, handbags, shoes, and accessories, available in U.S. and Canadian department stores including Macy's and Hudson's Bay.

Political Career

In 2015, Ivanka introduced her father, Donald J. Trump, at Trump Tower as he announced his candidacy for president of the United States. She remained involved with the campaign by making public appearances to support and defend him. In August 2015, Donald Trump stated that she was his leading advisor on "women's health and women" and said it was she who propelled him to elaborate on his views of women. In July, Ivanka introduced her father in a speech immediately before his own speech at the 2016 Republican National Convention (RNC). On Friday, January 20, 2017, she attended her father's inauguration as the 45th president of the United States.

In January 2017, Ivanka resigned from her position at the Trump Organization. After advising her father in an unofficial capacity for the first two months of his administration, Ivanka was appointed "First Daughter and Advisor to the President," a government employee, on 29 Mar 2017. She also became the head of the newly established Office of Economic Initiatives and Entrepreneurship. She did not take any salary for the position and didn’t receive any government health benefits during her four years at the White House.

In September 2017, Ivanka delivered an anti-human trafficking speech at the United Nations General Assembly, calling it “the greatest human rights issue of our time”. In 2018, she led the United States presidential delegation to the Olympic Winter Games Closing Ceremonies at PyeongChang, South Korea. Beginning the summer of 2018, Ivanka joined Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross in creating National Council for the American Worker, which worked to develop a national strategy for training and retraining the workers needed in high-demand industries. In 2019, she joined her father at the G20 summit in Osaka, Japan. On 30 Jun 2019, Ivanka participated in talks between her father and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un inside the Korean peninsula's demilitarized zone, and later that year went on a worldwide tour in to promote her "Women's Global Development and Prosperity Initiative." She also attended the 74th United Nations General Assembly to promote her initiative.

On 6 Jan 2021, Ivanka was in attendance at the rally at the Ellipse but opted not to address the crowd. During the ensuing riot at the U.S. Capitol, she encouraged her father to make a video on Twitter condemning the riots, acting as an intermediary between besieged U.S. officials and the President. She tweeted a request for "peaceful" behavior in which she addressed the rioters as "American Patriots." Minutes later, she deleted the tweet. In June 2022, Ivanka told the panel of the United States House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack that she did not believe the election was stolen and accepted William Barr's conclusion that voter fraud claims have "zero basis". On November 15, 2022, asked about her father's 2024 bid for the presidency, she said: "I do not plan to be involved in politics."

Raised as a Presbyterian Christian, Ivanka converted to Orthodox Judaism in July 2009, after studying with Elie Weinstock from the Modern Orthodox Ramaz School. She took the Hebrew name "Yael" (Hebrew: יָעֵל, lit. 'ibex').
