Ivanka, 73, was wearing a leopard-skin print overcoat with gold earrings and carrying a black luxury bag.
She also had bright red nail polish as she gave the peace sign to the camera with pink lipstick and matching pink eyeshadow.
LAST HOURS
The 73-year-old was found dead at the bottom of a staircase inside her Manhattan home at around 12.40pm after someone called 911 to report a person suffering from cardiac arrest.
She had just recently paid a visit to her favorite restaurant, Altesi Ristorante, located just a few yards from her Upper East Side apartment.
IVANA TRUMP
The Trump matriarch was a frequent visitor to the Italian eatery and appeared in good spirits, if a little fatigued, when she dropped by on Wednesday afternoon, Altesi's owner Paola Alavian told The US Sun through tears.
"As always she asked me how I was doing - she was always supporting us - and we just shared an extremely normal conversation, the kind I had almost every day I saw her," Alavian said.
"Her health seemed normal, she looked maybe a little bit tired, but she otherwise seemed okay."
Alavian said he couldn't remember what Ivana ordered but described her meal as a "very, very small amount of food."

"I'm a little bit in shock right now," he added, voice cracking.
"I have no idea what has happened. We saw a lot of activity going on [outside of her apartment].
"She was just an excellent human; she was a really, really good person.
"It's all very emotional for me at the moment," Alavian continued.
"She was a mother to everybody here."
'A SURVIVOR'
Trump called his ex-wife a "beautiful and amazing woman" who led a "great and inspirational life".
"I am very saddened to inform all of those that loved her, of which there are many, that Ivana Trump has passed away at her home in New York City," Trump wrote on his Truth platform.
"She was a wonderful, beautiful, and amazing woman, who led a great and inspirational life. Her pride and joy were her three children, Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric.
"She was so proud of them, as we were all so proud of her. Rest In Peace, Ivana!"
Ivana's youngest son, Eric, shared a heartbreaking statement on Instagram.
"It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Ivana Trump," Eric wrote.
"Our mother was an incredible woman — a force in business, a world-class athlete, a radiant beauty, and caring mother and friend.

"Ivana Trump was a survivor. She fled from communism and embraced this country. She taught her children about grit and toughness, compassion, and determination.
"She will be dearly missed by her mother, her three children, and ten grandchildren," Eric concluded.
