Blink, and you'll miss her — Melania Trump, that is.

The new first lady hasn't been photographed in public since the day after her husband was inaugurated, so Super Bowl weekend turned out to be a boon for Melania watchers when she was snapped three times in fetching outfits at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Fla.

Melania has been living in Trump Tower in New York with her 10-year-old son, Barron, who is finishing out the school year before both of them are expected to move into the White House family quarters in June.

She was last seen in public on Jan 21, at the inaugural prayer service at the National Cathedral in Washington. She's still in the process of hiring a staff, with only a chief-of-staff on board at the moment, so public announcements about her schedule have been scarce.

But, surprise, she turned up Friday at the Palm Beach airport to greet President Trump arriving via Air Force One for a long weekend in the Florida sun.

Melania was wearing what looked like a $2,000 red mini dress with cape sleeves by Givenchy and red Christian Louboutin flats — a change from her usual sky-high stilettos, according to Vogue.

On Saturday night, the two attended the annual Red Cross Gala at Mar-a-Lago, with Melania in a hot-pink Dior gown that emphasized her curvy figure.

The gown featured a deep V neck and a slit up the front, revealing her return to stilettos, in pink. And she had on plenty of bling, including emerald and diamond earrings and a ring, according to WWD.

Finally, on Sunday for a Super Bowl party at Trump International Golf Club, she went for a casual-yet-chic look: White cropped skinny slacks, a sheer light blue V-necked sweater and white heels.

The Trumps sat at a roped-off table with White House chief of staff Reince Priebus and his family, but neither Trump looked especially happy to be there, even though the president correctly predicted the outcome of the game (New England Patriots over the Atlanta Falcons).

That provoked some snarky tweets on Twitter and a few reports, in Cosmopolitan and The Independent, about the dour looks on their faces in some of the pictures. The Trumps left the party early.

On Monday, President Trump flew off to Tampa Bay for a briefing with U.S. Central Command and U.S. Special Operations Command. Melania is believed to have returned to New York and the privacy of Trump Tower.
