"Their sacrifice serves as a reminder of the values they fought to protect, inspiring and guiding the decisions and actions that shape the future of our nation."
In the evening, President-elect Donald Trump's 43-year-old daughter wore another design by Oscar de la Renta to the candlelight dinner held at the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C. The Women Who Work author exuded glamour in a custom crystal and pearl floral-embroidered gown, which she paired with a silver stole.

The former first daughter wore an Oscar de la Renta gown to the candlelight dinner and an ivory pantsuit by the designer for her father's swearing-in ceremony in 2017. However, for the inaugural balls that night, Ivanka sparkled in a gown by Carolina Herrera.
The former first daughter served as an advisor to her father during his first term. After her dad announced that he would be running for president again, Ivanka told Fox News Digital, "I do not plan to be involved in politics."

Ivanka noted that "there's another element" for her. "I love policy and impact. I hate politics. And unfortunately, the two are not separable,” she said. “There is a darkness to that world that I don’t really want to welcome into mine. To some degree, I’m, you know, at the center of the storm because my father is about to be president, but it’s a very dark, negative business. And some people love like the gladiator aspect of it, you know, the fight. That was never me.”

Alongside the post, she penned: "As the Inauguration approaches, I find myself filled with gratitude as I reflect on special moments with my father and family from eight years ago, when we first stepped off Air Force One upon arriving in Washington, D.C."

"I look forward to watching my father take the oath of office again as the 47th President of the United States. I am proud of his unwavering strength and resilience and am excited to celebrate this historic milestone alongside him once more."
