Régine Mahaux, who has been photographing the Trumps since 2008, told Vanity Fair that Melania’s new portrait “didn’t need to be retouched.”
In the black and white image from Belgian photographer Régine Mahaux, who also took Melania’s portrait the first time around, the former model wears a tuxedo and cummerbund with a crisp white shirt, all designed by Dolce & Gabbana, inside the White House ’s Yellow Oval Room in its residential wing. The Washington Monument is visible through the window over Melania’s right shoulder.
Mahaux, who also photographed the inauguration, told VF that she did not recall when or how, specifically, Melania asked her to do the honor of taking the official portrait. “She's a very secret woman, and I like that,” she said. “She's not gonna send me an email and ask . It was just on the way, and then we decided to do it. I don't recall a special date when we talked about it.
