Melania Trump has hinted she could be making more appearances on Donald Trump's campaign trail - both with her words and her clothing choice.
The former first lady joined her husband in public for the first time in weeks as they appeared alongside each other at Palm Beach to vote in the primary election on Tuesday.
The couple was spotted heading to the polls together in West Palm Beach. “I voted for Donald Trump,” the former president said after voting. Former president and controversial businessman Trump, 77, has rarely been seen alongside his wife Melania, 53, on the campaign recently.
Her presence now appears to have some significance. Donning a floating long black and white dress, belted, with a black orchid design across it Melania left reporters with more questions than answers.

Mysterious Melania has been known to leave a trail of clues in her statements and even in her clothing choices in the past, and some have been quick to assign potential meaning to the Alexander McQueen orchid dress, which retails for £1,990.
According to Floraly, a site that discusses the meaning and significance of different flowers, "black orchids are not truly black; they’re usually over-pigmented red or purple orchids that are so dark they only appear to be black. These blooms are said to represent mystery, power, and sophistication."

Not only this, but black orchids are reportedly a symbol of reaching the end of a cycle.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, social media users chimed in with speculation Melania could be signalling the end of her more private life and a return to the spotlight. "I knew when I saw it there was a significant message," one person said.
Another wrote: "Melania has had clues in her choice of clothing whenever she makes a public appearance." In the past, Melania has had meaning assigned to her looks, particularly at her husband's 2018 State of The Union Address, where many democrats chose to wear black in support of the Me Too campaign. Melania on the other hand turned heads when she wore a white pantsuit by Christian Dior to the event.

At the time, her spokesperson Stephanie Grisham denied there had been a "hidden message" to the clothing choice.
In 2020 she made another controversial outfit choice for the Republican National Conference. The then-first lady sported an army green military-inspired double-breasted jacket with gold buttons by Alexander McQueen and paired it with a knee-length pencil skirt in the same khaki colour.
Some critics immediately drew comparisons with the military uniforms worn by fascist leaders, such as Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini, and fashion watchdog Instagram account Diet Prada suggested the jacket signalled that Melania was an “out and proud fascist”.

Kate Bennett, author of Free, Melania: The Unauthorized Biography, hypothesised Melania wears menswear “when the Trumps are unhappy with each other” because “Trump notoriously likes to see women in tight, short, ubersexy and feminine dresses”.

Melania Trump has been consistently absent from her husband’s engagements, including his Super Tuesday celebration at Mar-a-Lago earlier this month. A source told Page Six that Melania was going to “step up” her political appearances in 2024 in an effort to help Donald secure the presidency.
