Ivanka Trump was just another working real estate heiress-about-town before she took on a new role in the White House. Before she joined the ranks of the Washington elite, Trump was a yearly fixture at the Met Gala. Indeed, she twirled and got gussied up in gowns with the best of them.
In honor of this year's Met Gala (going down on Monday, May 1) we take a look back at Ivanka's past appearances at fashion's biggest night.
