Ivanka Trump and Jared dress up Miami-style for lavish dinner – alongside Jeff Bezos
Jeff Bezos, Ivanka Trump and their respective partners stepped out in Miami last night for an exclusive dinner ahead of Sunday’s Formula 1 Grand Prix race.
The former First Daughter and billionaire Amazon founder was among the A-list celebrities who went to Carbone Beach — an extravagant four-day supper club built to celebrate Miami’s race week.
Bezos’ girlfriend Lauren Sanchez, 53, and Ivanka Trump, 41, both beamed as they dressed in Miami style for Saturday night’s event.
Those in attendance, who paid $3,000 a night for reservations, were treated to cuisine from Italian restaurant Carbone and star-studded live entertainment — in an ambiance that has been described as something out of The Great Gatsby.
Bezos stepped out in a stylish maroon T-shirt, while his glamorous girlfriend Lauren rocked a sparkly ensemble and nude heels.

Ivanka Trump brought color to the event — she wore an off-the-shoulder beaded swirl minidress, a handbag and red shoes.
She walked hand in hand with her husband, Jared Kushner, into the A-list event.
Kushner kept his look simple yet elegant in jeans and a crew neck sweater.
Grand Prix globetrotters who headed to Miami for the race this weekend spent Saturday night eating and partying on the beach ahead of Sunday’s race.
The creators of the special F1 pop-up promised the exclusive experience would be even lavish and crazier than it will be in 2022 – with cocktail hour leading to a seated dinner.
Mario Carbone, managing partner of Major Food Group, said of the event Bezos and Ivanka Trump attended: “Hosting Carbone Beach during Formula 1 in Miami is the ultimate fusion of adrenaline, luxury and hospitality.
‘It is a spectacle that brings together unparalleled energy and glamour.
“This year will be even bigger and more exuberant than our first year.
“We expect to exceed that level of excitement and decadence by creating an unforgettable experience with new performances and indulgences that are truly over-the-top.”
Even Elon Musk took a break from his Twitter overhaul this weekend to fly to South Florida for the Miami Grand Prix.
He revealed that he spoke to Bezos – billionaire to billionaire – on Saturday about aero and battery technology in F1.
Ahead of FP3, the Tesla boss was spotted chatting with Red Bull team boss Christian Horner on Saturday.
While holding his son in his arms, Musk appeared to have taken a tour of the current Constructor Championship leader’s garage.
The SpaceX chief was seen trying on headphones, with Horner watching.
Horner revealed that Musk was there at the invitation of Larry Ellison, executive chairman of the team’s title sponsor, Oracle.
“We talked about batteries, regeneration and so on. Great to have them here this weekend,” he told Sky Sports.

However, the 51-year-old was not the only billionaire in the paddock. Not to be outdone, Amazon owner Jeff Bezos was also spotted at the Miami International Autodrome.
But Bezos wasn’t hanging out with the favourites, but rather one of the weekend’s underdogs, McLaren.
The billionaire was picked up by TV cameras working on the team’s pit wall alongside McLaren engineers.
It seems that McLaren CEO Zak Brown has even stepped down to give Bezos a chair on the wall.
But some Formula 1 fans have pointed out that Bezos could have split allegiances with Amazon’s IT services company AWS which sponsors Ferrari.
However, not everyone was happy to see the two billionaires storm their way into the sport.
“Team bosses pandering to celebs and Elon Musk, Zak Brown fluffing a pillow for Bezos on the McLaren pit wall, empty grandstands, a lousy track and another boring race that seems inevitable due to a substandard surface. Welcome to Miami,” another fan ranted.
