All eyes were on Melania Trump as she walked on stage at the end of the US presidential debate. And one moment had people talking.
All eyes were on Melania Trump as she walked on stage at the end of the US presidential debate.
The First Lady had social media abuzz with her flawless outfit, dressed in a Dolce & Gabbana suit with an eye-watering $4050 price tag, teamed with $995 sky-high Christian Louboutin heels.
But the moment that had everyone talking was when Mrs Trump went to greet her husband.
The pair didn’t embrace, with Mr Trump barely looking at his wife as she approached.
Meanwhile presidential candidate Joe Biden embraced his wife Jill with a hug.
Viewers on social media said the Trumps looked “uncomfortable and awkward”.
“Did anyone else notice the ‘coldness’ in the way #MelaniaTrump greeted her husband vs the warmth and embracing hug #JillBiden greeted her husband with? There’s no love there and She stands up there putting on a fake smile. So cringe-worthy,” wrote one person.

Dr Biden chose an outfit she was first snapped in back in October 2017 when she attended a fundraising event with her husband in New York City.
Both wore face masks for the event but Mrs Trump took hers off to greet her husband.
The First Lady was joined by her stepdaughters Ivanka and Tiffany, who were joined by Eric Trump Jr’s wife Lara, and Don Jr’s longtime partner Kimberly Guilfoyle.
The group was pictured together before the event kicked off, with Ivanka also sharing a selfie with her stepmum on Twitter.

Ivanka wore a stunning cream pantsuit by Gabriela Hearst worth a whopping $6300, accompanied by a pricey Chanel handbag.
On Sunday, Dr Biden told CNN that her 77-year-old husband was ready to take on Mr Trump, 74, in the opening debate.
“One of the things I’m excited for is when the American people see Joe Biden up there on stage, they’re going to see what a president looks like,” she said.
“Someone who is calm, steady, strong, resilient.”
