Headstrong as a little girl, Ivanka Trump is now a trusted political adviser to her father Donald Trump, the front-runner in the race for the Republican presidential nomination, and a willowy walking advertisement for her own line of jewellery, clothing, shoes and more, as well as a power player in the Trump real estate empire.

She’s the rare executive vice president whose skill set includes an ability to walk the job on a construction site in stiletto heels.

Her father, by contrast, is the very definition of drama – in his presidential campaign, with his three marriages and in his brash approach to life.

Ivanka Trump’s speech is as measured as her father’s is unrestrained. Her Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest accounts project an oh-so-curated image that is equal parts fashionista, doting mother, corporate deal-maker and cheerleader for her hashtagged cause, #WomenWhoWork.

Sometimes she achieves harmonic convergence.
