2/ Earlier tonight, just after Ivanka finished her RNC speech, and just prior to Donald Trump taking the stage, Ivanka walked past Melania and Donald. What follows is a body language analysis of this crucial moment.
3/ Initially, Melania 'smiles' at Ivanka. This is not a sincere smile, but it's a fairly good 'social smile'. 
4/ Melania's social (albeit insincere) smile was maintained as Ivanka passed.
5/ As Ivanka turns and can no longer see her, Melania's mid-face grows tense, her nostrils flare, the corners of her mouth pull back and her upper eyelids begin to open widely.
Melania is feeling Anger and Disgust.
Melania is feeling Anger and Disgust.
6/ Melania then displays a prolonged blink. These prolong blinks often serve as 'costume changes' for one's psyche.
7/ Melania's mouth and mid-face become somewhat less tense — however, her upper eyelids begin to open widely.
8/ Her upper eyelids open even wider. This is indicative of a high adrenaline surge.
9/ Melania's upper eyelids are still opened very widely — as she momentarily displays a '1000 yard stare'.
10/ She blinks again — she's trying to break her trance-like state...
11/ ... but Melania is still adrenaline-angry-staring for a bit longer...
12/ ... before she finally returns back to her baseline (feigned smile) expression.
13/ This brief but dramatic elevation of upper eyelids, when viewed without attention to detail, is often misinterpreted as an eye roll — but it's not (An eye roll is a deliberate [conscious] display of contempt).
14/ SUMMARY: Melania Trump's body language behavior after Ivanka's DNC speech tonight, shows that she has considerable anger and deep disgust toward Ivanka Trump.
