At the state dinner at the presidential palace in New Delhi, Ivanka Trump chose a Rohit Bal long flared coat with hand embroidery.

The flowing silhouette featured the designer's signature floral embroidery, a bandhgala-style collar, and came with a front slit.

The outfit is from Bal's famous Guldastah Collection, which was unveiled in 2018, and was an ode to his birthplace, Kashmir.

According to the designer, the collection featured flowers that are indigenous to the valley.

'Guldastah is very close to my heart and I have used flowers of Kashmir... sunflowers, poppies, tulips and peonies,' he revealed commenting about the collection. 

'This collection is both sensitive and ornate with an underlying sense of luxury interwoven in its many layers. It's my interpretation of absolute beauty in its purest form.'

She styled the look with lovely traditional polki work earrings and red lips. Does this look get your vote?
