Erika Kirk turned heads with her polished style as she attended the first-ever Republican midterm convention in Dallas, Texas, on September 9.
The Turning Point USA CEO and widow of conservative activist Charlie Kirk was seated in the VIP section as President Donald Trump delivered his keynote address on the first night of the two-day gathering. She received a standing ovation from the crowd during the event.
For the occasion, the 37-year-old opted for a striking green power suit. Her blazer featured a matching belt cinched at the waist and flap pockets on the front, which she paired with coordinating trousers and a white tank top underneath.

Erika Kirk Steals The Show At The RNC Midterm Convention
She wore her blonde hair down with a center part and completed her glam look with full makeup, stacked bracelets and several statement rings.
Erika's appearance came just one day before the one-year anniversary of Charlie's death. Charlie was shot and killed on September 10, 2025, while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.
A tribute to Charlie was also included in the Republican convention's programming.
During Trump's speech on the first night, the president acknowledged Erika's presence and spoke about her loss.
He asked where she was seated, prompting the crowd to give her a standing ovation while chanting, “Charlie! Charlie! Charlie!”
“I just want to say we love you, Charlie,” Trump said.

Trump also addressed Erika directly, saying, “She’s put up with something. Boy, oh, boy. What she’s had to go through.”
“It was a beautiful family,” he continued. “It’s just terrible.”
The mom of two did not deliver remarks during Trump's speech, but her presence in the VIP section drew attention as the president honored her late husband.
The Republican gathering, held at the American Airlines Center on September 9 and 10, is the party's first-ever midterm convention. On the second night, the convention included a larger tribute to Charlie, marking one year since his death with a memorial video and remarks from Republican figures.
