Melania is back!

Melania Trump
 donned a sleek black dress to accompany her husband, President Donald Trump, to Nashville, Tennessee, on Thursday for the final presidential debate after recovering from her lingering COVID-19 symptoms. 

The couple put on an affectionate display as they held hands and smiled while boarding Marine One on the South Lawn of the White House ahead of the event held at the Curb Event Center.   

Melania, who has yet to hit the campaign trail following her speech at the Republican National Convention, cut a stylish figure in her sleeveless Christian Dior frock, which she paired with a slim black belt that cinched her waist. 

The 50-year-old First Lady paired the minimalist midi frock with class black pumps and a pair of oversized black sunglasses. 

Melania and President Trump held hands as they walked across the South Lawn of the White House with smiles on their faces. 

They were still holding hands when they stepped off Marine One at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland and walked across the tarmac to board Air Force One. 

The trip was the first time Melania has been out publicly since she was diagnosed with COVID-19 earlier this month – just after the last time her husband met Joe Biden in debate.

ENJOY THE DEBATE TONIGHT.

I’LL BE WATCHING WITH MY LITTLE GUY…KOKOMO.

Queen Elizabeth II

THE QUEEN has been captured in a striking new photo to honor her ties to the Canadian Government. Royal fans have fawned over the new portrait on Twitter with one calling it ‘majestic.’

Queen Elizabeth II, 94, has been immortalized in a new portrait commissioned by the Canadian Government. The Queen is Canada’s head of state and the powerful new portrait honors her ties to the to the Commonwealth nation. The powerful photo by Getty photographer Chris Jackson was taken last year but officially released to the public on Friday.

Chris Jackson tweeted the image with the caption: “It was an incredible honour to have the opportunity to photograph HM Queen Elizabeth II on behalf of the Canadian Government for her official Canadian Portrait that has been released today.”

One gushing fan reacted: “Oh my word! Isn’t she lovely!!! Great photo Chris!”

Another wrote:  “Oh WOW!! Congratulations, it is a majestic portrait!”

A third put:  “Absolutely beautiful image! Congrats Chris”

The official Canadian portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was taken at Windsor Castle in March 2019.

In the portrait Her the Queen is wearing her Canadian insignia, as Sovereign of the Order of Canada and the Order of Military Merit.

Some social media users pointed out how the new picture captured the Queen;’s dazzling accessories.

One wrote:  “The jewels look fabulous!”

While another claimed the picture made them “proud”, writing:  “This is a beautiful photograph of her Majesty. I’m a proud and will be proud to see it displayed here.”

More interesting, perhaps, to those interested in royal history are the jewels: a tiara, necklace, earrings, and bracelet, all from the diamond and sapphire King George VI Victorian Suite.

The suite—then composed only of the necklace and earrings, made circa 1850—was given to the Queen by her father, King George VI, as a wedding present in 1947. A matching tiara and bracelet were fashioned in 1963, and in 1990, the Queen took the whole suite with her for a royal tour of Canada—making it a particularly meaningful choice for this portrait.
