Melania Trump stuns in Alexander McQueen dress with $30K Hermes Kelly handbag as she lands to vote in Florida
PALM BEACH, FLORIDA: Melania Trump made her first public appearance since August 2022 on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, when she went to vote for the midterms with her husband former president Donald Trump. Since her husband, 76, left office in January 2022, Melania, 52, has generally avoided the limelight.
The former first lady dazzled for the unusual outing by sporting a $1,990 gray and black Alexander McQueen pinstripe and checkered wool-blend midi dress. Her toned legs were on full display, and the form-fitting dress, which had a gray ruffled skirt and a black sleeveless top, highlighted her thin body. She complemented the appearance with a pair of $795 black Christian Louboutin heels and thick sunglasses to protect her eyes. As she and her husband left the polling booths in Palm Beach, Florida, she was also wearing a lovely Hermes Kelly handbag.

Since the elite brand is very secretive about the prices of their bags, the precise price of the bag is unknown. Nevertheless, a pretty similar bag is now selling at Sotheby's for $30,500, Daily Mail reported.
The former first lady and her husband left the Morton and Barbara Mandel Recreation Center on Tuesday morning, November 8, walking alongside one another. The former president was dressed in a blue suit and red tie for the poll visit. While being followed by security, they both seemed to be in high spirits, with Melania flashing a bright smile as they proceeded to get to a waiting car. Donald paused to address the throngs of television crews, photographers, and fans that had gathered outside for a brief speech.
Melania has maintained a quiet profile ever since Donald departed office, while her husband has continued to appear frequently in public. She has only occasionally been spotted at events and has mainly avoided cameras. In fact, she hasn't been seen in a public setting since she left the John Frieda Salon in New York City in August, almost three months ago. She wore a khaki sundress with a brown belt around her waist to keep things casual for the journey to the hair salon.
The last time the world saw Melania and her husband together was in July at the funeral of Trump's ex-wife, Ivana Trump. Ivana, who was Donald's wife from 1977 to 1992, passed away on July 14, 2022, at the age of 73. A staff member discovered her "unconscious and unresponsive" at the bottom of a flight of stairs in her townhouse in New York City, reported Daily Mail.
Axios claimed last week that Donald Trump's team was considering making his 2024 presidential announcement on November 14—the Monday following the midterm elections. He "plans to surf the GOP's expected post-midterm euphoria," according to the site, to generate excitement for his own bid to retake the White House.
Ivanka Trump, 41, who is Donald Trump's daughter, also went to the polls to cast her ballot in the midterm elections. A day earlier, she had posted a photo of herself holding up an "I Voted" sticker to her Instagram. Ivanka voted in casual attire, donning a pair of blue jeans, a gray and black sweater vest with the popular Chinese design Yin Yang all over it, and a pair of white shoes as compared to her stepmother, who dressed up to go to the polls.
