Former First Lady Melania Trump was one of the world’s top fashion models for years, and she continues to stun audiences, as she demonstrated again over the weekend at a Mar-a-Lago reception featuring Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.
According to video clips posted online, Melania entered the venue dressed in a sleek white pantsuit, black shirt, and black heels, while Orbán presented her with a bouquet of flowers.
Preceded by husband and former President Donald Trump, as Melania entered, the song “Pretty Woman” by Roy Orbison can be heard in the background.

The Trump campaign said late Friday that the two long-time allies discussed “a wide range of issues affecting Hungary and the United States, including the paramount importance of strong and secure borders to protect the sovereignty of each nation,” per Politico.
While in the U.S., Orbán — who has been chastised by liberal European leaders over his refusal to allow Hungary to become inundated with migrants — did not visit with President Joe Biden, which led to criticism from the commander-in-chief.
A report noted in December that Melania Trump will make many more public appearances on behalf of her husband as he campaigns for a third time for a second term in the White House.
A source told Page Six that after the former president won a case before the U.S. Supreme Court, in which justices rejected special counsel Jack Smith’s attempt to get a quick ruling on presidential immunity, “Trump and his family are so secure that he will become president again that insiders at Mar-a-Lago say he’s reached an agreement with [wife] Melania [Trump] to step up top-tier diplomatic appearances in 2024.”
The source went on to say that after Melania appeared with other first ladies at Rosalynn Carter’s funeral recently, she is “feeling more sure of herself — as both her husband’s representative and her own position as a diplomatic figure after her positive reception at the Carter funeral.”
She also recently spoke at a citizenship naturalization ceremony at the National Archives.
“Melania realizes it’s her time to join the ranks of historic first ladies and leave her mark on history… She feels better prepared for her potential role the second time around,” the source told Page Six. “The immediate family, including Melania, is solidly behind the former president.”
Page Six also reported that another source said that Melania showed up at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach for a Patriot Awards ceremony.
“They were both in great moods,” the source said of the former first couple. “Melania was going around greeting everyone.”
Page Six added: “We hear the Donald gave a speech at the Helping A Hero event to raise money for military vets, and was even joking about his classified documents case.”
Melania has openly supported her husband’s third White House bid, but she has also “quietly” taken measures to protect herself and their son, Barron Trump, behind the scenes, a report noted in September.
According to sources who spoke to Page Six, she “renegotiated her prenuptial agreement with Donald Trump in advance of his potentially serving a second term in the White House. Over the last year, Melania and her team have been quietly negotiating a new ‘postnup’ agreement between herself and Donald Trump.”
According to sources who spoke to Page Six at the time, she “renegotiated her prenuptial agreement with Donald Trump in advance of his potentially serving a second term in the White House. Over the last year, Melania and her team have been quietly negotiating a new ‘postnup’ agreement between herself and Donald Trump.”
“This is at least the third time Melania has renegotiated the terms of her marital agreement,” the source said while adding that it is not because she plans on leaving him.
“Melania is most concerned about maintaining and increasing a substantial trust for their son, Barron,” the source said.
The source said that the renegotiated prenup also provides for her and involves money and property.
A different source told Page Six: “I know that she wanted it to provide her with more money, and also — from what I understand — there’s a specific amount at minimum that Barron is supposed to obtain.”
