The former first lady joined her husband, Donald Trump, and her father, Victor Knavs, at Barron's high school graduation on Friday.
The trio sat at the very front of the bleachers under the watchful eyes of two police snipers, US Marshalls, and deputies from the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office.
For the outing, Melania put on her Sunday best as she donned a $5,000 black Dior 30 Montaigne Bar blazer, a $900 white Michael Kors Double Crepe Sable Pencil Skirt skirt, and a $630 Gucci straw hat, totaling $7,000 per the DailyMail.
According to the description on the designer's website, the coat "features notch lapels, fabric-covered signature buttons, and slit pockets that delicately highlight the waist," while the skirt "falls to the knee with a back slit for timeless elegance."
She completed the look with white heels that appeared to be Manolo Blahnik's $745 BB 90 Linen Pumps.
Melania Trump Keeps Barron In A Protective 'Bubble' At Mar-a-Lago
Little is known about Barron's years at the exclusive Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach, as Melania has made it a duty to keep him out of the spotlight.
The high school graduate is understood to be her priority in her marriage to Trump and has allegedly renegotiated her prenup several times to ascertain the safety of his future.
A source close to the family told the DailyMail that she's locked herself in a "tight bubble" at their sprawling Mar-a-Lago resort and also keeps her son in it as Trump continues to battle his New York hush money trial.
Although he has rarely been seen speaking in public, Barron supports his father's political efforts and is reportedly keen on creating his own platform as he transitions into adulthood.
"He's so regal. He's a little Melania," the source said of the eighteen-year-old.
The Former First Lady Remains Sole Decision Maker Over Barron's Future
As Barron bids goodbye to high school, reports claim his mother will remain the sole "decision maker" regarding his future.
"Melania will keep her hand on Barron's future just as much going forward as she has throughout his early and current school years," a source told People Magazine. "He is her world. She is proud of him, and she is the primary decision maker on Barron and his future."
The insider continued, "He is still young and has a lot in front of him. She wants him to be happy and settled in his future endeavors. She wants him to pursue what he wants to do. He is smart and has his own opinions but they are still being shaped."
Melania Trump Is Helping Barron Choose A College
Like every parent, Melania is also helping her son find a college he'll enroll in. Colleges such as his father's alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania, which his half-siblings Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Tiffany all attended, are being considered as potential choices.
"Melania's main job is taking care of Barron, and I think it's possible that she will follow him wherever he goes to school," a source told People. "Barron is shy and reserved, and she has been a good mother to him all of these years."
The source added: "Melania is all about Barron and her family. She has always been family-oriented, staying ahead of family issues is her priority."
Donald Trump Says They Are Looking At 'Some Colleges That Are Different'

He said, "Right now, he's doing a great job. He has great marks. He's going to be going to college soon. And we're looking at some colleges that are different [than] they were two months ago."
