Melania Trump attended Rosalynn Carter's memorial in Georgia.

While most of the ladies — such as Biden and Obama — were accompanied by their husbands, Donald Trump was nowhere in sight at the ceremony, which took place at Emory University's Glenn Memorial United Methodist Church.

Melania, 53, wore her hair down and donned a black and white patterned coat as she made her way into the building behind Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff. She was the only one of the first ladies to not wear all black.

Rosalynn's husband, Jimmy Carter, 99, also made a rare outing to attend the service.

"Honestly, I like to keep her away from it," he said on Meet the Press when asked why she hasn't been seen with him often. "It's so nasty and so mean."

"She'll be with us. She's very, very, supportive. Soon, yeah, pretty soon. When it's appropriate, but pretty soon," Donald continued. "She's very popular, she actually is. She’s a private person — a great person, a very confident person — and she loves our country very much."

The businessman added that she's usually in Florida with their son, Barron, 17, noting, "She loves that boy."
