Vogue Magazine delivers a scathing critique of Melania Trump's official White House portrait, comparing it to a reality TV show aesthetic and questioning her sartorial choices.
Vogue Magazine launched a scathing critique of First Lady Melania Trump's official portrait unveiled by the White House on Monday. The fashion publication characterized Trump's stark image as resembling a guest appearance on an episode of 'The Apprentice,' the reality show her husband, former President Donald Trump, hosted for NBC in the early 2000s.
The black and white photograph, captured by photographer Régine Mahaux, portrays Trump in a power pose, leaning forward slightly with her hands resting on a reflective table. The Washington Monument serves as the backdrop. The First Lady, a former fashion model, opted for a dark-colored suit paired with a crisp white shirt. Vogue's article asserted that Trump's attire failed to elevate the image, stating, 'Trump’s clothing certainly didn’t help the boardroom pastiche. The first lady wore a black Dolce & Gabbana tuxedo jacket with satin trimmed lapels over a white button-up, which she paired with a Ralph Lauren cummerbund and trousers.'The magazine further criticized the choice of a tuxedo, saying it contributed to a 'freelance magician' impression rather than a 'public servant' image. Vogue suggested that Trump's predilection for theatrics stemmed from her background in a world of wealth and reality television. They highlighted the contrast with her 2017 White House portrait, which depicted a softer, more approachable image. That portrait faced criticism for showcasing her 25-carat diamond ring, a gift from her husband, which was estimated to be worth $3 million. Vogue observed that the current portrait, while more subdued, conveys wealth through the presence of tech CEOs at the 2025 Inauguration, whose combined net worth exceeded a trillion dollars. Vogue concluded that, despite her attempt at a 'no-nonsense businesswoman' persona, Melania Trump continues to struggle with effectively communicating through her wardrobe choices
