Melania Trump makes rare appearance at Donald's side for glam Mar-a-Lago dinner
Melania Trump made a rare appearance at a glamorous Mar-a-Lago dinner alongside her Republican nominee husband Donald Trump.
The former First Lady was seen smiling and chatting with guests at as Trump hosted to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who presented Melania with a huge bouquet of flowers to which she seemed surprised as she accepted them jaw-dropped. A smitten Orban later posted to his Instagram page, sharing an image of Melania captioned, 'Pretty Woman'.
Melania has so far been notably absent from her husband's campaign trail, including his rise to Republican nominee after beating Niki Haley who dropped out following Super Tuesday voting across the country. Melania however appeared to put on a brave face as she smiled and met with guests in a fitted all white suit.

His sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump were in attendance, however. Trump's eldest daughter, Ivanka, was also absent but it's widely known that she has said she would not be playing a big role in her father's political pursuits any more.

Melania has somewhat tried to keep out of the public eye since leaving the White House in January 2021. She has not been seen at either her husband's rallies or his court appearances. According to Palm Beach Post, while Melania has not been at the rallies or court appearances, she did accompany her husband last month to the Trumpettes gala, also held at the Palm Beach estate. She has been largely absent from her husband's side for political events since November 2022, when she went with him as they cast their ballots at the Barbara Mandel Recreation Center in Palm Beach. She then went with him as he announced his 2024 campaign at Mar-a-Lago a week later.
Melania had been looking after her mother, Amalija Knavss, who died in early January. Speaking at his New Year's Eve gala, Trump explained his mother-in-law was "very ill" and that Melania was by her side at a hospital in Miami. Melania announced the loss of her mother on X, calling her "a strong woman who always carried herself with grace, warmth, and dignity."

It leaves Trump as the last remaining major candidate for the 2024 Republican nomination.
Haley did not endorse the former president in a speech in Charleston, South Carolina. Instead, she challenged him to win the support of the moderate Republicans and independent voters who supported her.
"It is now up to Donald Trump to earn the votes of those in our party and beyond it who did not support him. And I hope he does that," she said. "At its best, politics is about bringing people into your cause, not turning them away. And our conservative cause badly needs more people."
