After impressing everyone with a sherwani and cigarette pants by Anita Dongre, daughter and advisor of US President Donald Trump — Ivanka Trump, chose to wear a Rohit Bal creation for the Rashtrapati state dinner. Ivanka looked absolutely stunning in a floor-length ivory Anarkali suit. Ivanka's outfit is from Rohit Bal's famous 'Guldastah' collection which was unveiled in 2018 and was the designer's ode to his birthplace, Kashmir. 

This was Ivanka Trump's second visit to India. She had visited India in November 2017 to attend the Global Entrepreneurship Summit in Hyderabad. She attended the summit at the invitation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Rohit Bal in 2018 on his Instagram handle wrote, "Guldastah is very close to my heart and I have used flowers of Kashmir... sunflowers, poppies , tulips, and peonies. This collection is both sensitive and ornate with an underlying sense of luxury interwoven in its many layers. It’s my interpretation of absolute beauty in its purest form."

Ivanka Trump was also trending on social media for repeating her Proenza Schouler baby blue viscose georgette midi dress during her second visit to India. She wore the dress last year in September during her Argentina visit. Ivanka was praised for her sustainable fashion choice.
