It looks like Ivanka Trump approves of new sister–in–law Bettina Anderson, as she offered a peek at the extravagant bridal shower thrown for the Palm Beach socialite last weekend.
Just a year after Don Jr’s public split from newly minted Greek ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle, he began dating Anderson before popping the question with a giant eight–carat diamond ring this past holiday season.
The engagement news was revealed by his father, President Donald Trump, during a Christmas White House reception, as the 47–year–old eldest son revealed he was unsure whether his new bride–to–be would actually accept his proposal as he got down on one knee.
And while a wedding date has not been publicly announced, it looks like the blushing bride could be walking down the aisle soon as she was recently celebrated at Mar–a–Lago.
In a handful of sweet photos posted to Instagram by Ivanka, Bettina smiled alongside her new family, which included sisters–in–law Ivanka, Tiffany Trump, and Lara Trump, as well as her new niece, Ivanka and Jared Kushner’s daughter, Arabella, 14.
The ladies all posed together, smiling side by side, and laughing in another adorable snap.
Bettina stunned in a strapless tea–length white dress with delicate silver floral embroidery on the top, paired with $1,500 satin slingback pumps with a crystal toe by designer Manolo Blahnik.
The Trump ladies looked ready for spring as they stood alongside their new sister–in–law in an array of neutral–colored floral sundresses.
Ivanka wore a $2,000 slim–strapped dress by Australian brand Zimmermann that featured a light floral print, while her daughter matched her in a similar blue–and–white printed dress, also by Zimmermann.
Tiffany was equally as in–theme as she donned a sparkling, floral, blue lace cocktail dress with a neutral slip underneath. Lara wore a turquoise–and–pink floral print shirtdress.
The ladies carried chic accessories too, as Ivanka sported an Hermès Kelly Sellier 20 Naturel Sable, which is available on the resale market for over $35,000, while Arabella carried what appeared to be a mini Cassette bag by Bottega Veneta, which previously retailed for over $1,000.
Lara carried a light pink Lady Dior bag that has a resale value of over $2,400.
‘Celebrated love, family, and new beginnings at Bettina’s bridal shower this weekend,’ Ivanka wrote in the caption of the photos.
‘So grateful to share in this joyous moment with Arabella, Lara, and Tiffany (and of course Don Jr!),’ the message read.
In response, Bettina left a comment, writing: ‘How blessed am I. So grateful for you girls,’ along with a praying–hands emoji.
According to People, Tiffany’s mom and President Trump’s ex–wife Marla Maples attended the shower, while First Lady Melania Trump did not.
Guests were served a delicious lunch of burrata salad, chicken roulade and mixed berries and cake for dessert, and went home with gift bags full of luxury items, the outlet reported.
Anderson was born into one of Palm Beach’s old–money banking families, the daughter of Palm Beach society couple Harry Loy Anderson Jr, a banker, and his wife, Inger, an immigrant from Sweden.
Best known as H. Loy, the elder Anderson became president of a small bank, Worth Avenue National Bank, in 1970, then went on to take over a slew of other financial institutions.
Bettina’s mother was a model at New York’s Eileen Ford agency in the 1970s and 1980s, who started an exercise regimen patterned after the era’s guru, Jane Fonda.
Don Jr was married to his first wife, Vanessa, from 2005 to 2018, and they have five children.
