It was soon revealed another woman had been standing next to Ivanka before the photo was shared – Kimberly Guilfoyle who had chosen a black dress for the event.

It seems she had been cropped out of the photo before it was shared on Ivanka's social media accounts, with many claiming this was a deliberate move.
