Ivanka Trump turned a high-profile night at the College Football Playoff National Championship into a polished family fashion moment, stepping out in Miami with effortless poise alongside her son and several members of the Trump family.
The former first daughter attended Monday night’s championship game at Hard Rock Stadium as President Donald Trump received a big welcome from the crowd ahead of kickoff between the Miami Hurricanes and the Indiana Hoosiers.
While the roar of the stadium set the tone for the evening, Ivanka’s understated elegance offered a quieter counterpoint, blending seamlessly into a night that mixed sports, family, and public spectacle.

She paired the look with pointed heels and oversized dark sunglasses, adding a subtle touch of drama while keeping the overall effect restrained. The monochromatic ensemble echoed the kind of sharp, pared-down style she has favored in recent public appearances, particularly during outings in South Florida, where she now resides.

The classic combination felt timeless and preppy, a complementary contrast to Ivanka’s all-black look. Together, they projected a composed, coordinated presence that felt intentional without appearing overly styled, fitting for a major sporting event watched by millions.

Also in attendance were Kai Trump, the granddaughter of the president, and other members of the extended Trump family, including Lara Trump and her children. The gathering underscored the family-centric nature of the evening, as much about shared experience as it was about football.

Throughout the game, cameras frequently caught Ivanka watching the action from the suite, occasionally leaning in to speak with family members or looking out over the field as the Miami Hurricanes faced off against the Indiana Hoosiers. Indiana ultimately secured a 27 to 21 victory, completing an undefeated season and earning the program’s first national championship title.

Later in the evening, she was seen without the sunglasses as the game progressed, revealing a fresh-faced glow that reflected a relaxed, confident energy.
She later shared glimpses of the night on social media, including a video of her sons cheering from the stands and a photo posing beside her youngest, Theo.
Ahead of kickoff, President Trump shared a message congratulating both teams for reaching the championship. “Melania and I congratulate the Indiana Hoosiers and the Miami Hurricanes on making it to the College Football Playoff National Championship,” he wrote. “God bless the talented players and dedicated coaches, the families who love and support them, and the faithful fans who cheer them on. May the best team win!”
