In July 2021, Melania Trump and her then-15-year-old son were photographed exiting Trump Tower together. By that time, the Trump fam had made Mar-a-Lago their new home base. Photos of the pair got a lot of attention because 6-foot-7 Barron Trump was so much taller than his mother. “He probably already feels awkward being in the limelight of this family and then he sticks out bc he’s so tall,” one person tweeted. “I hope he becomes a better person than you know who.” Another user on X, formerly known as Twitter, joked, “Donald Trump about to claim that he’s 6’10”.” Not exactly, but Donald did start yammering on about Barron’s height so often that it became weird.
For her NYC visit with Barron, Melania was dressed casually in a black, collared shirt with flap pockets. Her crisp top was tucked into a pair of white straight-leg jeans. She wore a pair of white Christian Louboutin flats on her feet and carried a valuable accessory: a Hermes Birkin handbag worth $11,000. According to the Daily Mail, the slightly larger Louis Vuitton x Richard Prince travel bag that Barron was toting also belonged to Melania. When the limited edition bag came out in 2008, it retailed for around $4,000.
Barron and his mom had a little color coordination going on, as his long-sleeved tee was also black. However, he paired his top with dark-wash jeans, and unlike his mom, he wasn’t wearing sunglasses.
