Melania Trump spotted in NYC with $33K Birkin handbag while Donald hits campaign trail 1,200 miles away
Former First Lady Melania Trump was snapped running around New York City with an extravagant handbag on her arm Tuesday, while her presidential hopeful hubby campaigns more than 1,200 miles away in Wisconsin.
Melania, wearing a head-to-toe all-white ensemble, was flanked by Secret Service guards as she ducked into Trump Tower.
The former model’s wedding band was on full display as she sported a matching white Hermes Birkin bag — which can fetch as much as $33,000 on the resale market.
The fashionista also appeared to be wearing Christian Louboutin flats, which retail for a comparatively reasonable $700.
The rare sighting marks one of the few times Melania has been seen outside Trump Tower since her husband was convicted of 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal evidence of hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election. (The former president has vehemently denied wrongdoing.)
After holing up in Trump Tower for nearly two weeks, Melania first emerged from the Midtown skyscraper June 4 with son Barron Trump in tow and piles of luggage.
The tall heir was nowhere to be seen Tuesday as his mother returned to the tower’s refuge.
Donald Trump has been much more public since his historic conviction and has made several campaign stops in the Midwest this week.
While Melania retreated to the cover of Trump Tower, the presumptive Republican nominee tried to woo swing state voters at a rally in Racine.
His visit marked his first to Wisconsin since his conviction — and since reportedly calling Milwaukee, the host of the 2024 Republican National Convention, a “horrible city.”
“I was the one that picked it, these lying people that say, ‘Oh, he doesn’t like Milwaukee.’ I love Milwaukee. I said, ‘You gotta fix the crime.’ We all know that, you gotta make sure the election is honest, but I’m the one that picked Milwaukee,” Trump told crowds in an attempt to play cleanup.
Wisconsin is one of a handful of battleground states that could determine this year’s presidential race.
It was one of the so-called Democratic “blue wall” states that Trump narrowly won in 2016, paving the way for his surprise victory. Biden flipped the state back in 2020, and both campaigns are targeting it heavily this year.
