Smoking! Melania braves New York’s toxic smog as she steps out with a Chanel handbag ahead of Donald’s expected indictment next week – and doesn’t her mum look just like her?
- Former first lady Melania Trump was spotted exiting Trump Tower on Thursday
- She has not appeared at a Trump campaign event since his announcement in November
- The former president is spending more time campaigning as more contenders have announced for 2024
Former First Lady Melania Trump was caught Thursday exiting Trump Tower dressed in Chanel ballet shoes and carrying a black Chanel bag, 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 join the 2024 presidential campaign.
Although Melania issued a statement expressing her support for his re-election and appeared at his November 15 presidential announcement, she has not attended a campaign event since.
However, she has performed with her husband at private events including at Trumps’ Bedminster, New Jersey Golf Club – their summer residence.
She was also spotted with the ex-President in Mar-a-Lago on Mother’s Day and May 6, when she, her husband and 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 appeared in court in New York after being charged with hush-mooning charges in Stormy Daniels.
Her father, Viktor Knavs, was present at this speech.
As are Trump’s grown children: Donald Trump Jr., Eric and Tiffany. Ivanka Trump said the night her father announced an application for 2024 that she would not be attending.
And she was by his side on March 30, the night of the arraignment.
She dined with her husband and friends at their usual high-visibility table at the Mar-a-Lago.
Earlier this week, Knavs and Melania Trump’s mother, Amalija, were spotted exiting Trump Tower with luggage and being hugged by the former first lady’s assistant.
Melania wasn’t with them as they exited the former president’s New York luxury tower.
But her mum wore a similar outfit – a black top and jacket, with khaki pants and sunglasses.
