But will Donald get an invitation?

-

It’s been quite a week for the fashionabl­e sculpted arms of the Kushner family. Mrs Ivanka Kushner made the announceme­nt that her erstwhile namesake brand (which she had previously stepped down from running, although not from claiming profits) – Ivanka Trump – was to, sadly, close. Speculatio­n over the decline and fall of this mid-level department store purveyor of Chanel-a-like pumps, ruffled blouses and stretchy white jeans, was rife.

Were customers, previously enamoured with her “Working Women You Go Girl!” shtick – “we’re all in this stretchy red shift dress together” – put off by her role as blonde-in-chief for her father, the er, US president? Who can say… But as a sweet salve to cushion the blow, a new sunshine-haired recruit is to be initiated into the Kushner family. As Ivanka herself commented on the Instagram post of her sister-in-law-to-be, “I look forward to the decades of happy memories we will create together as a family!”

And what a family Karlie Kloss, the 25-year-old former Victoria’s Secret model, BFF to

Taylor Swift, and walker of Versace runways has got herself. The liberal-leaning supermodel (she voted for Hillary – awkward – and was at the 2017 Women’s March in Washington) and fiancé Joshua – younger brother of Jared, adviser to Donald – have until now kept their relationsh­ip away from nosy public commentato­rs.

Kloss has refused to comment on her entreprene­urial investor boyfriend of six years, yet now that a really quite sizeable rock is in place on her left hand, the couple are coming out of their publicity-shy shell. Sweet of them really to divert some of the think-piece attention away from Ivanka’s issues.

The excited Kloss shared some moments of her breaking the news, via Facetime, to her sisters, mother and friends Bea York (yes, that one) and Serena Williams! It turns out that Kloss and Kushner are quite the connected pair, even aside from their Washington­based relatives.

Earlier in the week they were having a delightful time on board music mogul David Geffen’s yacht around Capri. Also on deck were Paul Mccartney and Misha Nonoo – a fashion designer whom you may recall is also a friend of the Duchess of Sussex.

What a glamorous nest of interwoven lives these billionair­e celebritie­s lead! It’s certainly a wedding guest list to look forward to.
