Former first lady Melania Trump was captured as she exited Trump Tower on Thursday, decked out in Chanel ballet shoes and carrying a black Chanel purse, paired with a black top and khaki skirt.
The sighting comes as former President Donald Trump has expanded his campaign schedule as more Republican rivals enter the 2024 presidential race.
Although Melania has expressed her support for his re-election — via statement — and appeared at his presidential announcement on Nov. 15, she has not attended a campaign event since.
However, she has appeared with her husband at private parties, including at the Trumps’ Bedminster, New Jersey golf club – their summer residence.
She was also spotted in Mar-a-Lago with the ex-president on Mother’s Day and on May 6 when she, her husband and their son Barron met boxer Mike Tyson.

She was conspicuously absent when he invited the press to Mar-a-Lago on April 4 — hours after he faced trial in New York after being charged with allegations in the Stormy Daniels hush-hush case.
Her father, Viktor Knavs, did attend that speech.
Just like Trump’s adult children: Donald Trump Jr., Eric and Tiffany. Ivanka Trump said on the night her father announced a 2024 bid that she would not participate.
And she was by his side on March 30, the night the charges were announced.
She dined with her husband and their friends at their usual high-visibility table at Mar-a-Lago.
Earlier this week, Knavs and Melania Trump’s mom, Amalija, was spotted leaving Trump Tower with luggage and getting a hug from the former first lady’s aide.
Melania was not with them as they departed from the former president’s luxurious tower in New York.
But her mother wore a similar outfit: a black top and coat, paired with khaki pants and sunglasses.
