Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump won’t be at tonight’s Met Gala
(Picture: Getty Images)Despite having been in a prominent position on the New York social scene at one point, Ivanka Trump - daughter of former President Donald Trump - and her husband Jared Kushner are not among the 400 celebrities attending this year’s Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Gala.
Vogue editor and organiser Anna Wintour has previously said that Donald Trump is banned forever, and it’s is widely believed that Ivanka and Jared were snubbed this year too.
The Lincoln Project offered her - tongue-in-cheek - a helpful way to watch the highly anticipated event at which she was a former regular guest– and it involves a disguise.
Taking to their official Twitter, they posted a screen-recorded video showing a Google search for numerous disguises including glasses, with a nose, mustache, and eye-brow attachment.

Afterwards, they provided a link for her to stream the festivities.
Hey, @IvankaTrump — thought this might be helpful today. https://t.co/MmvFBqKg63

Others joined in the mockery:
“Ivanka releases a statement saying she’s not attending the Met Gala that she wasn’t invited to,” someone wrote, assuming this is how she would react.
Someone else added: “Hell, * I* have a better chance of attending the Met Gala than Ivanka Trump. LOL (& I have zero chance lmao).”
Here’s what other people had to say.
One person joked that she’d be pelted with rotten tomatoes if she attempted to attend...
It's for her own good. The last time Ivanka wore a white dress to the Met Gala the crowd pelted her with tomatos. pic.twitter.com/GNrxT98ljl

Another speculated on what fakes names the pair would use if they tried to use masks to enter the event
The name is Truvanka Imp, and this is my husband, Jared DefinitelyDidntKillPeopleByDisallowingMasksToBeSentToEveryone, the third.

A couple of people chimed in on the disguise tweet with some options for facial changes to sneak past security

One person used a Taylor Swift lyric to sum up Ivanka’s relationship with Anna Wintour...
