Ivanka Trump has had quite the eventful start to 2026.

In a rare move, the first daughter has posted a handful of times on Instagram, starting with a New Year’s family ski vacation in Aspen.

The 44-year-old mother of three has also been out and about at home, sharing snapshots from a local food drive.

On Friday, the first daughter showed up at the North Miami Police Department through a partnership with Planet Harvest, a nonprofit she cofounded that doles out farmers’ excess crops to families in need.

“It was a meaningful way to begin the new year by expanding access to healthy food where support is needed most,” the Indian Creek Village resident wrote.

Trump even jumped on the viral trend of sharing memories from a decade ago while pregnant with her youngest, Theodore. She and husband Jared Kushner are also parents to Arabella, 14, and Joseph, 12.

“Looking back to 2016!” said the caption, along with a carousel of pics, including some of the ex-White House advisor cradling her baby bump as well as stumping on the campaign trail for her father, President Donald Trump, who won in November of that year for the first time.

Putting yourself out there as a public, not to mention polarizing, political figure and leaving the comments on carries its share of risks.

“Shame shame shame shame shame shame,” wrote one critic who eschewed all punctuation.

“Wow, must be nice to be tone deaf,” sniped another. “The world is burning but let’s admire your 2016.”

There were at least a few positive commenters in the mix; e.g., “Just because there are several situations at hand in the world does not mean you cannot post beautiful pictures.”

Interestingly, Trump didn’t upload a static post of her attending Monday night’s Indiana Hoosiers vs. Miami Hurricanes national championship game at Hard Rock Stadium with her father in a bulletproof booth.

Doesn’t seem like she wanted her moment in the, um, sun. Inexplicably, she was wearing big black sunglasses the whole time.

Under an X with a picture of her with POTUS behind glass, a social media user asked the Internet why she was donning shades at 7:30 p.m. Some people assumed it was due to “Botox” or a “recent facelift.”

“I bet she’s had some work done.”

Or maybe she’s accustomed to paparazzi prying eyes and didn’t want to give away whom she was rooting for — UM or IU.
