The White House has unveiled a new black-and-white portrait of First Lady Melania Trump, just a week after her husband, President Donald Trump, was sworn in for his second term.
In the image, Mrs. Trump, a former fashion model, poses in office attire—wearing a white shirt and dark suit, with her hair loose and wavy. She stands with her hands lightly resting on a table, exuding strength and grace. The Washington Monument looms in the background, adding to the powerful symbolism of the photo.
The portrait has garnered much praise online, with some commentators speculating that Mrs. Trump may be sending a strong message of resilience following her husband’s return to the White House.
This new 2025 portrait contrasts sharply with her official 2017 White House portrait, which featured Mrs. Trump in a black suit with her arms crossed and a gentle smile. At that time, she faced criticism for wearing a massive 25-carat diamond ring, worth up to $3 million, which some saw as insensitive.
Despite past criticisms, Mrs. Trump has continued to use her clothing and public image to communicate strength and confidence. Her bold choices, including a navy blue hat designed by Eric Javits on inauguration day, have consistently drawn attention.
