MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN: Melania Trump received a rapturous ovation when she arrived at the final night of the Republican National Convention. The former model turned heads in a modern, red version of the classic Christian Dior "Bar" suit.
The former First Lady was photographed standing behind Trump as he signed the documents to accept his third GOP presidential nomination on Thursday, July 18. He was accompanied by his newly chosen running mate for 2024, JD Vance.

Melania Trump makes first public appearance after Donald Trump's assassination attempt
Melania Trump, the former president's elusive spouse, made her first public appearance since Donald Trump narrowly escaped an assassination attempt, as per BBC.
Dressed in red, she entered the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee to the sound of classical music, a stark contrast to the country and rock anthems that dominated the week.
Her glossy, glamorous presence resembled a catwalk model more than a political convention attendee, maintaining her usual inscrutable and distant demeanor.
Following Donald Trump's extensive acceptance speech, she ascended the stage just as balloons began to descend upon the crowd.

They exchanged a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Subsequently, he took her hand, and they crossed the stage together, joined by other family members.
In a photograph taken at the White House, Melania appeared joyful, smiling in a red suit while holding Trump's hand.

Difference between Usha Vance and Melania Trump as a spouse
Usha Vance, wife of JD Vance, joined Melania, the former president's daughter Ivanka, and son Eric. Although the former first lady was not listed as a speaker for the RNC on Thursday, July 18, she later made her formal entrance to the convention floor accompanied by gentle classical music.
JD Vance might be Donald Trump's running mate in the 2024 presidential election, yet his relationship with his wife, Usha Vance stands in stark contrast to that of Donald and Melania Trump.

Usha Vance and JD Vance have repeatedly demonstrated their intense love for one another. The couple doesn't mind occasionally displaying a little affection.
The Vance family returned to the stage for a momentous occasion as JD Vance was formally declared the Republican National Convention's vice-presidential nominee. Usha held JD's hand throughout the event, assuring everyone the entire night that she was by his side, NickiSwift reported.
Displays of public affection were not commonly observed in the Trump administration. Contrasting with the Vances, Donald and Melania Trump often restrained their public displays of affection. Indeed, there have been several instances where Melania appeared to avoid holding the former president's hand.

Since her husband left office, Melania has consistently avoided public appearances by his side, often during times when her presence would be anticipated.
She was absent when he had his mugshot taken in Atlanta, not present in New York when he was convicted of a crime, and notably missing when he secured his party's presidential nomination for the third time on Monday, July 15.
Former First Lady Melania Trump decided not to speak at the Republican National Convention as Donald Trump accepted his presidential nomination, breaking tradition. Usha Vance was the only spouse of the ticket to speak, along with Ivanka Trump's daughter, The Mirror reported.
Once again, if Melania makes her contractually obligated appearance tonight, she will not walk in with Trump. Separate cars as always. pic.twitter.com/oDZg30xJz5

"Melania Trump has entered the building at the RNC. Somewhere Jill Biden is clutching her Vogue cover while taking care of her senile ATM," mocked a user.
