Melania Trump has frequently skipped public appearances with Donald Trump, including during his 2024 presidential campaign.
And of course, we’ll be getting another four years of Melania’s outfits as first lady too.
The bestselling author’s style has ranged from classic elegance tosurprisingly outdatedto downright controversial.
