Ivanka Trump seems to have given her seal of approval to her new sister-in-law, Bettina Anderson, by sharing a glimpse into the lavish bridal shower held for the Palm Beach socialite over the past weekend.
This celebration comes on the heels of a whirlwind romance between Donald Trump Jr. and Anderson. Following his public breakup with Kimberly Guilfoyle, who recently became the Greek ambassador, Don Jr. began dating Anderson, eventually proposing with a stunning eight-carat diamond ring during the holiday season.
The engagement was publicly disclosed by Donald Trump himself at a Christmas gathering at the White House. The 47-year-old Don Jr. confessed that he was anxious about whether Anderson would accept his proposal as he took the traditional knee.
Though the couple hasn’t announced their wedding date yet, the recent bridal shower festivities at Mar-a-Lago suggest that the ceremony might not be far off.
Ivanka shared a series of heartwarming photos on Instagram, capturing Bettina’s joy alongside her new family, including Ivanka, Tiffany Trump, and Lara Trump. Also joining the celebration was Ivanka and Jared Kushner’s daughter, Arabella, who is 14.
The images showed the women smiling warmly and sharing laughter, underscoring the welcoming bond forming within the Trump family.
Bettina stunned in a strapless tea–length white dress with delicate silver floral embroidery on the top, paired with $1,500 satin slingback pumps with a crystal toe by designer Manolo Blahnik.

Ivanka wore a $2,000 slim–strapped dress by Australian brand Zimmermann that featured a light floral print, while her daughter matched her in a similar blue–and–white printed dress, also by Zimmermann.
Tiffany was equally on theme as she donned a sparkling, floral, blue lace cocktail dress with a neutral slip underneath. Lara wore a turquoise and pink floral print shirtdress.
The ladies carried chic accessories too, as Ivanka sported an Hermès Kelly Sellier 20 Naturel Sable, which is available on the resale market for over $35,000, while Arabella carried what appeared to be a mini Cassette bag by Bottega Veneta, which previously retailed for over $1,000.
Lara carried a light pink Lady Dior bag that has a resale value of over $2,400.
‘Celebrated love, family, and new beginnings at Bettina’s bridal shower this weekend,’ Ivanka wrote in the caption of the photos.
‘So grateful to share in this joyous moment with Arabella, Lara, and Tiffany (and of course Don Jr!),’ the message read.
In response, Bettina left a comment, writing: ‘How blessed am I. So grateful for you girls,’ along with a praying–hands emoji.
According to People, Tiffany’s mom and President Trump’s ex–wife Marla Maples attended the shower, while First Lady Melania Trump did not.

Is this classy celebration or too much display?
Guests were served a delicious lunch of burrata salad, chicken roulade and mixed berries and cake for dessert, and went home with gift bags full of luxury items, the outlet reported.
Anderson was born into one of Palm Beach’s old–money banking families, the daughter of Palm Beach society couple Harry Loy Anderson Jr, a banker, and his wife, Inger, an immigrant from Sweden.
Best known as H Loy, the elder Anderson became president of a small bank, Worth Avenue National Bank, in 1970, then went on to take over a slew of other financial institutions.
Bettina’s mother was a model at New York’s Eileen Ford agency in the 1970s and 1980s, who started an exercise regimen patterned after the era’s guru, Jane Fonda.
Don Jr was married to his first wife, Vanessa, from 2005 to 2018, and they have five children.
