She’s back! Melania Trump’s public comeback with Donald Trump at the midterm elections: the former first lady dripped in designer with a Hermès Kelly bag and Louboutin pumps – and even cracked a smile
- Known as the ‘reluctant first lady’, Melania is rarely seen in public, even when she was in the White House during former US president Donald Trump’s tenure
- She made a surprise comeback on November 8, rocking up to the midterm elections in Florida hand in hand with her hubby – and sporting a pricey Alexander McQueen dress
As first lady during her husband’s tenure as US president between 2017 and 2021, she did her duty (arguably barely) and made the public appearances she absolutely had to.
But now, as political heavyweights begin to get campaign-ready ahead of the US elections in 2024, Melania has offered her support to her husband by simply showing up to be by his side. The big event? Voting alongside her husband in Palm Beach for the midterm elections.
Here’s everything you need to know about the important moment and how Melania used it to showcase her wealth with her expensive outfit, as well as her support for her husband.
Melania Trump’s public return
Melania was famously nicknamed the “reluctant first lady” as she stayed out of the public eye during Donald’s four-year tenure as US president from 2017 to 2021. When Trump left office in January 2021, the 52-year-old retreated even more from the public eye, reported CNN. Called “the most private first lady in modern history”, Melania has been seen only a handful of times since the Trump administration ended.
