Ivanka Trump has been spotted for the first time since she was criticized for posting a glamorous picture of herself in $5,000 gown at a swanky dinner amid the deportation row. 

While protesters gathered at airports around the country and decried the president's 'Muslim ban', First Daughter Ivanka shared the 'tone deaf' photo of her and husband Jared Kushner on social media.

The couple, who were headed to the annual Alfalfa Club dinner on Saturday night, drew a sharp rebuke as critics pointed to those affected by the president's executive order. Her father opted not to attend the event. 

Ivanka has kept a low profile since the angry backlash.

But on Tuesday, she was seen leaving her new Washington D.C. home in the back of a black Secret Service vehicle.

Ivanka was seen leaving her new Washington D.C. home just days after the picture controversy 

Wearing a long white coat, she was busy texting as the car drove away from the property in the elite neighborhood of Kalorama.

Ivanka, 35, and her family moved to DC earlier this month as Kushner prepared to began his unpaid job as a senior adviser to President Donald Trump in the White House.

She will be taking an unofficial advisory role.

Some were quick to insult Ivanka's style while others eviscerated the the couple for being 'out of touch' and seemingly callous

The First Daughter faced heavy criticism for her insensitive tweet just one day after Trump signed an executive order barring any non-U.S. citizen traveling from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia or Yemen from entering the United States for 90 days.

The move, which also included legal permanent residents and visa-holders from those seven countries, sparked an outrage, although the ACLU won a temporary legal battle preventing detainees from being deported.  

Thousands of protesters gathered in airports across the country, while Ivanka and Kushner dressed up to attend the black tie event. Kushner wore a tuxedo, while Ivanka defaulted to a $4,990 silver jacquard gown by Carolina Herrera - and Twitter users mercilessly mocked her for looking like a baked potato.

Social media erupted in outrage over the image, which Ivanka shared on her Instagram and Twitter accounts without a caption, with many attacking the couple for being 'out of touch' and seemingly callous. 

Christopher Ellers tweeted: '@IvankaTrump Oh, good, the world is burning and families are being torn apart, but you're decked out in tin foil. Cool. #MuslimBan'

User @dbvalentine wrote: '@IvankaTrump More unashamed displays of obscene wealth representing a complete detachment from reality #sad'

Another critic shared a photo of a refugee girl who crossed the Aegean Sea from Turkey to Greece with an emergency blanket draped over her shoulders and wrote: 'She wore it better'.

Protesters rallied in Brooklyn outside of the federal courthouse, where the ACLU won a temporary legal battle preventing detainees from being deported

President Donald Trump signed an executive order barring refugees and citizens of seven predominantly Muslim countries from entering the country

Cher, another Twitter user, chimed in, writing: '@IvankaTrump Your father is responsible for two senior citizens with green cards being illegally detained at O'Hare for 10 hours. Have fun!'

Kelly Oxford simply shared the photo, adding 'Let them eat cake' - a quote often attributed to Marie Antoinette as the French starved during the revolution.  

The Alfafa Club dinner is known for attracting members of the Washington elite from senior staff to heavyweight donors.

Every president since Ronald Reagan has attended, but Donald Trump, who spoke to Russian President Vladimir Putin for an hour on Saturday - is said to have skipped out.
