Leave It to Ivanka Trump to Look Chic at a Construction Site

It’s safe to say that safety goggles aren’t commonly associated with style. But fashion entrepreneur Ivanka Trump somehow transformed the utilitarian glasses into a chic accessory while visiting a construction site on Thursday. The 34-year-old was invited tour Middletown Tube Works in Cincinnati, Ohio and join other businesswomen for a round table chat about her father’s candidacy, according to the Daily Mail.

The statuesque Trump marched onto the site in a flowing pair of wide-legged white slacks, a fitted black tank top, and a cropped black cardigan. Of course, she also donned a pair of clear work goggles while cruising the steel mill, as one would — except they somehow looked perfectly synched with her outfit.

Trump — the glamorous daughter of GOP candidate Donald Trump — appeared to also be wearing a simple pair of black pumps with a pointed toe. Footwear is the accessory the tall blond is most known for, as her eponymously named line of women’s shoes is famously sold through major retailers like Nordstrom’s, Lord & Taylor, and Bloomingdale’s. Her brand also includes clothing, handbags, jewelry — and, yes, eyewear.

Fresh off of celebrating Rosh Hashanah with her family, says the Daily Mail, the mogul and mom jetted off to the site of the family-owned business, where she had been invited by owner Angie Phillips. On her Instagram, Trump can be seen — sans goggles — posing with the Middletown Tube Works team. She also posted a candid shot in the steel mill, thanking owner Phillips for having her. “Thank you Angie Phillips for inviting me to tour your plant and assembling an amazing group of Ohio based female business owners for a round table discussion at Middletown Tube Works. #Ohio.”

Later in the day, she posted another picture to her account; in it she posing with the employees of a female-owned juicery (and it should be noted that her crisp, white pants remained pristine throughout her tour through the plant). She captioned the photo, “In Cincinnati, OH today meeting with several amazing female entrepreneurs and business owners including Megan Tysoe, the founder and owner of Rooted Juicery. Thank you Megan. It was great meeting you and your team!”

Earlier in the week, Trump encountered one of her father’s longterm foes, Rosie O’Donnell, in New York City. The comedian had nothing but good words to say about Trump. O’Donnell tweeted, “Ivanka Trump in a city of 8 million – we meet face 2 face – i thank u 4 listening – mother 2 mother – on this new years week – my best 2 u.”

So, it seems the secret to looking fabulous everywhere you go — for Trump, anyway — has a lot to do with one important accessory that’s often overlooked: grace.
