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."
The White House has unveiled the official portrait of first lady Melania Trump. In a black and white photo, Melania appears to be waring a dark suit with a white blouse. She's standing in front of the window of the Yellow Oval Room with the Washington monument. The picture was snapped by photographer Régine Mahaux.
In the photo, the first lady posed wearing a black suit with a white button-up shirt, with the Washington Monument visible in the background through a window. The reaction on social media was swift, with one person after another using the fire emoji and more in reaction to posts on X showing the official portrait. “WOW! This is the official portrait of First Lady Melania Trump. Easily the most stunning First Lady in American history,” one person wrote.
