Melania Trump in red Dior at the Republican convention: a return to the political arena

Former US First Lady Melania Trump was spotted at the Republican National Convention on July 18. The presence of Melania Trump in the political arena has become a real sensation, since she rarely appears in public, especially to support the third candidacy of Donald Trump for the presidency.

Ivanka Trump and Melania: back to politics

Together with Melania, the politician's eldest daughter Ivanka Trump was also present at the event. Both women have largely stayed out of the campaign this year, in contrast to Trump's 2016 and 2020 campaigns, when they played prominent roles. None of them gave speeches this year, but their presence did not go unnoticed.

Dior red: a symbol of fashion and politics

Melania Trump took the stage in a red Dior suit, which she already wore in 2017 for an official visit to Paris. Stylist of the model Hervé Pierre noted:

"Nothing new is just repetition. But she loves this costume. She has nice clothes so she can repeat [insults]."

Trump accessorized her bow with red Christian Louboutin stilettos, accentuating her stylish look and recalling her past outings.

Political unity and support after the assassination attempt

The presence of Melania Trump helps the Republican Party to demonstrate a general unity, which is especially emphasized after the attempt on the politician's life. A day after the attack Melania issued a statement calling on Americans:

"To rise above hatred and simple-minded ideas that fuel violence."

The last moments of the election campaign

Election campaigns often use spouses and families to humanize a candidate. However, Melania took a back seat this year. Her task fell on other speakers, who painted a sympathetic portrait of Trump, sharing anecdotes about the warm relationship between him and their children. For example, Trump's 17-year-old granddaughter Kai Trump called him "a normal grandfather."
