Ivanka Trump and her family celebrated her daughter Arabella’s bat mitzvah last week, and the former first daughter chose a Jenny Packham dress, previously worn in gold by Kate Middleton.

The Lotus Lady dress by Jenny Packham retails for around US$5,000 from the British designer, though it is currently on sale at several different retailers.

On Monday, the former first lady, 41, posted a carousel-format Instagram post with 10 photos taken by Munoz Photography that showed the family at her daughter’s bat mitzvah celebration, featuring her three children, Arabella, 12 (whose birthday is in July); Joseph, 9; and Theodore, 7; alongside her husband, Jared Kushner, 42.

“With an abundance of love and immense pride, Jared and I celebrated our daughter Arabella’s bat mitzvah this past weekend. We reflect on the weekend with full hearts and an abundance of joy and gratitude,” Trump wrote in the caption.

“From her commitment to feeding hungry families through the Jewish Community Service Kosher Food Bank to supporting children with special needs through her work volunteering with the Friendship Circle and Whispering Manes, Arabella’s giving heart and commitment to making a positive impact embodies the spirit of this special milestone,” she continued.

While her father, former President Donald Trump, and his wife Melania were both left off his daughter’s Instagram post, they did appear in her Instagram Stories.

“Thank you dad and Melania for arranging such a sweet celebration for Arabella!” Ivanka posted in her second to last Instagram Story on the event.
