Chelsea Clinton and Ivanka Trump have long been friends, even as their respective parents Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump battle it out in the 2016 presidential campaign. "Ivanka and I talk about everything," Chelsea told Entertainment Tonight in 2015. "I'm so grateful she's my friend. I think she's a great woman. I support her – I support all my friends."
Still, the two haven't been seen together for a while – we're guessing they are a little too busy focusing on their parents' campaigns! As we await their reunion, we're taking a look at the potential new first daughters' parallel lives, from throwback pics to their gorgeous weddings.
Growing up in the spotlight
Being a public figure was a fact of life for the two girls growing up. Moving into the White House thanks to her dad, Arkansas governor-turned-President Bill Clinton when she was just 13, Chelsea – who Bill and Hillary welcomed in Arkansas in 1980 – had her every move documented by the press. Meanwhile young heiress Ivanka, born in Manhattan in 1981, was often photographed at high society events with dad Donald and mom Ivana.
College girls
Chelsea and Ivanka both left home at 18 to attend university. Moving to the West Coast, Chelsea attended Stanford University to study History. Sticking to her East Coast roots, Ivanka spent two years at Georgetown University in Washington D.C. before transferring to her dad's alma mater, the Wharton School of Finance at the University of Pennsylvania, to study economics.
Short hair, don't care!
As they've spent their lives in the spotlight, we've also taken note of their changing looks! Chelsea sported a curly bob in 1999, during her father's second term in office. Ivanka opted for a blunt cut in 2005, unveiling her new look on the red carpet of the prestigious Costume Institute Gala.
Maternity style
While working mums-to-be, they wore stylish maternity wear during their pregnancies. While Ivanka preferred her outfits with a touch of glam, Chelsea leaned toward simple and chic.
Vera blushing brides
Having settled in New York, both women wore stunning Vera Wang gowns when they married in lavish ceremonies. In 2009, Ivanka wed Jared Kushner wearing a Grace Kelly-inspired dress at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey.
Less than a year later, Chelsea also walked down the aisle. The then 30-year-old bride wore ivory silk organza Vera Wang with a silver bead sash as she tied the knot with Marc Mezvinsky in an interfaith ceremony in New York.
Proud mamas
Both Chelsea and Ivanka are mothers to growing families. Ivanka is mom to Arabella Rose, 4, Joseph Frederik, 2, and four-month-old Theodore James. Chelsea, who has an older daughter Charlotte, recently extended her family when she welcomed son Aidan at the beginning of June 2016.
Lifestyle in the city
In 2013 Chelsea and her husband Marc bought New York’s longest apartment, stretching an entire block, for $10 million (pictured left).
Ivanka and Jared have chosen to raise their children on the Upper East Side of New York City. In 2011 the pair paid $16 million for the 4,200 square-foot penthouse at Trump Park Avenue (pictured right).

Campaign trail veterans
Each has been by her respective parent's side during political conventions and rallies. Donald asked his daughter to introduce him at the Republican National Convention, while Chelsea signed up to do the honors for her mum at the Democratic gathering.
Common ground
In April, Ivanka diplomatically remarked on her similarities with Chelsea, given their parents' political rivalry. "We're children and we love our parents, so that's the great equaliser and that's the great common ground," she said in an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper.
"But, you know, the last 10 months have really been a whole different level. So I think that she would probably say the same about her mother – so she's probably very proud of her mother – and we certainly would share that, I would think."
