Melania and Barron Trump were spotted leaving Trump Tower in New York in the first public sighting of them since the former president was convicted in his hush money trial.
It is believed the mother and her 18-year-old son were at the downtown residence for 12 days after first arriving there on May 23, and were only seen leaving on Tuesday.
That was four days after Trump was found guilty on Friday of 34 charges of falsifying company records.
As she left Trump Tower on Tuesday, Melania, 54, wore a $1,345 beige Max Mara belted jumpsuit and Roger Vivier ballet flats and a cognac-colored ostrich Hermés Kelly handbag, which costs between $15,000 and $17,000 on the resale market .

Meanwhile, Barron donned a navy blue suit with a white button-up without a tie and an open button at the top.
The youngest Trump child turned 18 in March and graduated from Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach last month — while his father was tried in his first criminal case with three others pending against him.
Just before the two were pictured leaving Trump Tower, a doorman loaded their Louis Vuitton luggage into the Secret Service motorcade. Barron’s initials ‘BWT’ were on a suit holder.
Trump was found guilty on May 20 of 34 counts of falsifying business records over a hush-hush payment to porn star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election.
She claims to have had a sexual encounter with Trump ten years earlier, which he has denied.

Those close to the former first couple tell DailyMail.com that Melania’s first priority remains her son during her husband’s trial
At the start of the trial earlier in May, Melania and Barron were in a “tight bubble” behind the walls of Mar-a-Lago. The former first lady can be seen taking walks on the beach and spending time at the spa while standing behind the ornate gates of their Palm Beach residence.
Those close to Melania told DailyMail.com that her top priority remains her 6ft tall son, who despite looking like his father is a ‘little Melania’.

Sentencing for Trump falsifying business records over hush money payment is set for July 11, just days before the Republican National Convention
After Barron turned 18 earlier this year, reports emerged that he could be a delegate to nominate his father as a candidate for the Republican National Convention this summer in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
The couple’s only son was chosen as a general delegate to formally nominate his father.
But Melania’s office said last month that their son would not be a delegate because he had “prior commitments.”
“While Barron is honored to have been selected as a delegate by the Republican Party of Florida, he regretfully declines to participate due to prior commitments,” Melania Trump’s office said in a statement to DailyMail.com.
It’s unclear if Barron will even attend this year’s convention from Monday, July 15 through Thursday, July 18.
