The dress is form fitting, to show off her slim figure and flares out at the bottom to give her a more demure look. The front has a V-neck cut-out, with a bow tie on the neck. She finishes her look by accessorizing it with large pearl earrings and a gold bracelet.

Accompanied by the United States Deputy Secretary of State, John Sullivan, Ivanka met with Argentinian foreign ministers to discuss the WGDP and other areas requiring financial assistance.
