Melania Trump laughed off Vanity Fair cover offer: report
Fox News ^ | 8/29/2025 | Brian Flood

First lady Melania Trump "laughed" at a request from Vanity Fair last month to appear on the cover of the magazine, according to the New York Post.

Vanity Fair editors reportedly fumed over the possibility of Trump on the cover, with one editor telling the Daily Mail there would be a "mass exodus" of staffers if it happened. The outlet added that several anonymous employees warned of a "meltdown" if global editorial director Mark Guiducci followed through with his idea, but the first lady appears to have bigger priorities.

"She doesn’t have time to be sitting in a photo shoot," a source familiar with Trump’s thinking told the Post's Miranda Devine.(snip)

Trump was excluded from Vanity Fair and Vogue, which are both published by Condé Nast, during her husband’s first presidency, despite both magazines frequently spotlighting past first ladies. She did appear on the cover of Vanity Fair Mexico in 2017.

Former first lady Michelle Obama appeared on Vogue's cover three times during President Barack Obama’s two terms in office, and former first lady Jill Biden landed two Vogue covers during President Joe Biden’s term.

Condé Nast did not immediately respond to a request for comment by Fox News Digital.

Unless she had editorial control, she should never consider sitting for them. They will do all they can to depict her unfavorably.

It’s a magazine not a double wide billboard. Keep it real. 🤣

Maybe Vanity Fair can get one of the democrat drunks to go back on their cover. Or get that class act drug addicted whore monger son of Biden to grace the cover... Or how about Monica Lewinsky?

I’m so happy our first Lady won’t do that rag...

> ...Or how about Monica Lewinsky?...

Great idea. Put Monica up there, with a caption like, "Monica tells all -- How to knock 'em all dead with one blow!"

Melania is a true beauty, a supermodel, and has more class in her pinky than the whole lot of those magazines could ever aspire to. She has nothing to gain and everything to lose by appearing on a hard-left magazine cover. F'em.

“Why should anyone other than the woman herself have the power to determine what she does with her own body?” Melania Trump added. “A woman’s fundamental right of individual liberty, to her own life, grants her the authority to terminate her pregnancy if she wishes.”

From her memoir...

Free will. Choose wisely. Before, during, and after copulation... the Lord is watching.

Melania doesnt seem to be afflicted with vanity. She’s been so pretty for so long that it’s not an issue with her. She’s more interested in being respected. Which vanity fair is the wrong direction for that.

Maxine Waters on the cover. Or maybe the Bud Light who dresses as a woman.

LOL - excellent choices - then the Vanity Fair bimbos wouldn't have to quit in protest... My question is where the hell are the Publishers of these rags, newspapers and WOKE publications??

Maybe 'Vanity Fair' should change their name to 'Don't give a damn about looks' Ugly'....

Put the Chief Cackler on the cover. She’ll do it for a box of wine.
