Ivanka was seated in a prime position next to Kim on her right-hand side, a clear indication of her proximity and importance in Kim’s life. Sánchez was also strategically placed two seats down from Ivanka, further underlining her significance. On Kim’s left was Allison Statter, a lifelong friend whom Kim affectionately refers to as a “lifer,” showcasing the harmonious blend of old and new relationships in her inner circle.

The restaurant’s seating arrangement clearly reflected the dynamics within Kim’s friendship group. Ivanka and Lauren’s prominent positions indicated their rapid ascent to the top tier of Kim’s friends. This revelation was particularly striking, considering the unique backgrounds of both women. Ivanka, with her political connections and business prowess, and Lauren, with her media career and link to one of the world’s wealthiest individuals, bring a wealth of perspectives and experiences to Kim’s life.
