Melania Trump has been active on the political scene throughout the last 12 months.
In March, she participated in a Capitol Hill roundtable discussion about the Take It Down Act, a bill that combats the spread of non-consensual intimate images online. It received bipartisan support and was signed into law on May 20.
The First Lady also spoke at an International Women of Courage awards ceremony in April and highlighted the achievements of women around the world, including Israeli lawyer Amit Soussana, who survived 55 days in Hamas captivity after the Oct. 7 attacks.

PRESIDENT TRUMP SHAKES UP HOLLYWOOD WITH REVAMPED KENNEDY CENTER AWARDS LIST
President Donald Trump received the honor during last year's Patriot Awards. His speech was noteworthy for taking place at the end of a stunning year for the then-president-elect, who overcame a significant assassination attempt and criminal convictions before winning the election.
"We're going to do something that I've been talking about for eight years," he said during his remarks after receiving the award. "We're going to do it again. We have to do it again. We're going to be very proud of our country again."
This year's edition of the Patriot Awards features a star-studded lineup. Country music star Jason Aldean will perform his songs "Try That in a Small Town" and "How Far Does a Goodbye Go."
