Newsweek
How Melania Trump's New Portrait Compares With Her Old One

The White House said Melania's new portrait was taken on January 21 in the residence's Yellow Oval Room. The photo, in black and white, is by Régine Mahaux. Melania's hands are visible in the photo, placed on top of a table. She is smiling, but no teeth are visible. No jewelry can be seen in the new photo. Melania's previous official portrait was released on April 3, 2017, during Donald's first term. The first photo was taken in the residence and is in color. Melania's jewelry is visible in the first picture, with a ring seen on each hand. Melania is crossing her arms in this photo and smiling, with a few teeth visible. Dillard University professor and political analyst Robert Collins told Newsweek: "Melania is, of course, a former fashion model. So she understands branding, and she understands the power of photographic images. The black and white choice is designed to communicate the seriousness of her position, which indicates that she might be planning on taking a more active role in the administration. Or at least more active than she did in the first term."
