President Donald Trump’s former wife, Marla Maples, appeared stunning in her yellow gown at the 2026 Selfless Love Foundation Gala.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

On April 17, Marla, 62, posted a series of Instagram<\/a> photos featuring individual portraits and group shots with fellow guests at an event held earlier this month at Mar-a-Lago in Florida<\/a>, where Trump<\/a>, 79, is known to reside when not at the White House.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Notably absent from Marla’s Instagram carousel were any images including First Lady Melania Trump, the 55-year-old current wife of her ex-husband. The upload follows the former model’s recent appearance alongside her daughter, Tiffany Trump, who bears a striking resemblance to her.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The photographs showcased the Dancing with the Stars<\/a> alumna wearing a strapless, butter-yellow dress with a thigh-high slit, which complemented her golden blonde locks. Enhancing the sophistication of her look, Marla paired a matching scarf with open-toe high heels.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“Sharing highlights from the Love-filled Selfless Love Foundation fundraiser last weekend,” Marla wrote in her caption. “My heart is in awe of the passion and commitment of Ashley Brown and her team to help our foster children. Did you know there are over 70,000 children in the U.S. waiting to be adopted.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

She continued, “Selfless Love Foundation leverages resources, expertise, and proven solutions to improve the child welfare system, creating opportunities for more foster youth to find their forever families and thrive in adulthood. So lovely to see the talented and kind @tonydanza again who hosted the beautiful event,” reports the Irish Star<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Despite a star-studded guest list, a Palm Beach insider claimed Melania was notably absent from the event, fueling speculation that she is deliberately distancing herself from family gatherings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This latest no-show follows reports that Melania also skipped the bridal shower for Bettina Anderson, the fianc\u00e9e of her stepson Donald Trump<\/a> Jr., even as other Trump family members, including Ivanka Trump, Tiffany, and her mother Marla, turned out to show their support.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Marla subsequently took to Instagram to share highlights from Bettina’s bridal shower with her nearly 300,000 followers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“Last Sunday was such a beautiful day celebrating Bettina’s bridal shower,” Marla wrote. “Sharing this special moment with my daughter Tiffany made it even more meaningful. What a gift to celebrate love, friendship, and family .. these are the moments we cherish forever. Congratulations to Don Jr. and Bettina… we are so blessed to share in your joy!”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

One commenter responding to Marla’s post remarked, “This photograph radiated love and joy.” Meanwhile, another person wrote: “You are all STUNNING.” A third person shared, “I love how the Trump family all comes together to celebrate each other.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
