A new photo book all about Melania Trump features several never-before-seen stunning photographs of the first lady since President Donald Trump was sworn into office. The unforgettable shots can all be found in a new book titled, “Melania Trump: Elegance in the White House” by L.D. Hicks. According to the release, the book “focuses both on Melania’s accomplishments as a First Lady and on all her finest fashion moments." The first one that stood out would have to be this picture from when FLOTUS and Trump traveled to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It was taken when the two had arrived for...

First Lady Melania Trump and Second Lady Karen Pence are meeting with troops and students in South Carolina. The pair began their trip on Wednesday by touring military equipment with emergency response teams at Joint Base Charleston. The first lady praised troops for their sacrifice to the country, especially during natural disasters. Hurricane Dorian slammed the South Carolina coast earlier this year and caused billions of dollars of damage. “Our joint military teams…(demonstrate) every day how our communities can lean on each other and find the strength to step forward when called upon in times of need,” stated Melania Trump....

President Trump and first lady Melania Trump handed out commemorative Halloween candy to trick-or-treaters at the White House Monday night. The president and first lady opted not to dress in costume - with POTUS in a navy suit and FLOTUS in a belted coat with an autumn-colored patchwork design - but they seemed delighted by some of their guests' outfit choices. Early on, a child in an inflatable dinosaur suit got a point of approval from the president. Trump patted a little boy, dressed as a mini U.S. Marine, on the cheek. A different Marine came through and saluted Melania...

by Brian Hayes Citizens in the central European state of Slovenia -- the home country of First Lady Melania Trump -- have formed a civil defense force to put a stop to illegal Muslim migrants entering their country from Croatia. And unlike in the U.S., where the media and politicians attack vigilante groups that defend the border as racist and "dangerous," the government is actively supporting these volunteers, and the media is heralding them as patriotic. The Balkan route for Islamic migrants heading north from Turkey and Greece into Germany is well-known. However, thanks to Hungary’s national populist Prime...

Melania Trump kicked off a two-day trip to Wyoming with an outdoors adventure, spending her Thursday afternoon rafting down Snake River with a group of boy scouts. The first lady, 49, cut a casual figure in black jeans, a turtleneck sweater and a puffer jacket as she arrived in the town of Jackson, where she spent 20 minutes greeting the uniformed scouts and posing for pictures. Hundreds of people turned out to greet Melania, and were pictured lining the sidewalks around the square as they welcomed Donald Trump's wife to their town, before she headed off to join a group...

Back in 2000, Melania Knauss, a Slovenian model dating Donald Trump, began petitioning the government for the right to permanently reside in the United States under a program reserved for people with “extraordinary ability.” Knauss’ credentials included runway shows in Europe, a Camel cigarette billboard ad in Times Square and – in her biggest job at the time – a spot in the swimsuit edition of Sports Illustrated, which featured her on the beach in a string bikini, hugging a six-foot inflatable whale. She also claimed to be a college graduate. In March 2001, she was granted a green card...

When Eve, a 15-year-old from Maryland saw Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka speaking at the Republican National Convention in 2016, she immediately took a liking to her. Admiring how poised she was while addressing the audience, Eve started an Instagram account dedicated to the famous first daughter called “AlwaysIvanka.” The account caught fire instantly, and in the days after Trump became president, it gained more than 10,000 followers, including the first daughter herself. Over the course of the next six months, Eve noticed how little coverage First Lady Melania Trump was garnering for her work in the White House. So she...

Melania Trump has a distinct sartorial sensibility — with a wardrobe full of chic dresses and soaring stilettos. While listening to husband President Donald Trump speak yesterday at the U.N. General Assembly, Melania stuck with a combo that’s worked for her before: a coat dress and heels. The coat dress was a cream-colored, wool-crepe piece from Gucci’s pre-fall ’19 collection. The coat has a notched collar, four zip-up pockets and a logoed belt. It’s available for purchase on Net-a-Porter.com for $3,980. For footwear, Melania went with silver pointed-toe pumps. The shoes featured a slim stiletto heel and a textured upper.

There’s a lot said about Donald and Melania Trump’s marriage, most of it insulting and cruel. People who hate the president can’t believe anyone could love him. At best, they regard his wife with pity, as the prisoner of a loveless marriage. “Inside the Trump marriage: Melanie’s burden,” “The Sad Truth,” “Dark Secrets” are typical headlines. “#SaveMelania” memes trended online as Vanity Fair fantasized she would divorce her husband and become a feminist icon. Yet those who attended the state dinner for Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison Friday tell a very different story. They say the affection between the first...

First lady Melania Trump cut the ribbon Thursday as the Washington Monument reopened to the public for the first time in three years. The 555-foot stone obelisk closed in September 2016 in order to replace the aging elevator and upgrade security systems. Accompanied by a group of local fourth graders, Trump took the new high-speed elevator to the observation floor near the top, which offers a commanding 360-degree view of the entire District of Columbia. The monument has been closed off and on for most of the past eight years. An August 2011 earthquake left cracks in the stones near...

Like anyone who has ever spruced up their home, Melania Trump will have a few new touches to showcase Friday when guests visit the White House for only the second state dinner of the Trump presidency. There’s refreshed wall fabric in the Red Room, repurposed draperies in the Green Room and restored furniture in the Blue Room. And those are just some of the home improvement projects the first lady has overseen to keep the well-trod public rooms at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. looking their museum-quality best. Some of the projects were long overdue. Sunlight streaming into the Red Room had...

On Monday Melania Trump joined President Donald Trump at the Presidential Medal of Freedom ceremony at the White House. The President awarded former New York Yankees baseball pitcher, Mariano Rivera, with the honour for his contribution to baseball. For the occasion, Melania sported a chic white suit by Dior, which featured wide-leg trousers and a single breasted blazer, which the 49-year-old wore unbuttoned. The minimal two-set was paired with a dusty pink jumper by Ralph Lauren and coordinated heels by one of her favourite shoe brands, Manolo Blahnik.

The White House fired back after social media users criticized first lady Melania Trump over a coat she wore in a photo tweeted by President Trump on Wednesday to mark the 18th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks. White House spokesperson Stephanie Grisham, who previously worked with the first lady, told USA Today it was "ridiculous" that some Twitter users called the coat insensitive. Some Twitter users noted that the trim on the back of the first lady's coat appeared to resemble a skyscraper with a smaller object hovering nearby, which some said resembled the images of the World Trade...

Melania Trump received a big round of applause upon arrival at the John F. Kennedy Center to celebrate the inauguration of its REACH expansion. Audiences at the cultural center welcomed the First Lady as she rocked a floor-length navy gown for the evening, Daily Mail reports. Melania also shared pictures from the event in a post on Friday, September 6. "Honored to join the Kennedy Center @Kencen last night in celebration of the grand opening of REACH," she wrote in the post. "This is an amazing investment in the arts and our next generation." The stunning FLOTUS smiled at the...

A new book comparing Melania Trump and Michelle Obama has brought out predictable slaps against the current first lady from bullies who seek to attack the president through his family. Pitting two women against each other just never gets old, does it? “Melania & Michelle: First Ladies in a New Era,” by Tammy R. Vigil, is presented as a mere bipartisan assessment of the public images of both women. But it thinly veils its criticism of one and its admiration of the other. No prizes for guessing who’s who. Vigil, a Boston academic, notes that Melania “ranks among the least...

The spouses of G7 participants took a stroll at the beach on Monday, Aug. 26, to meet youth surfers at Biarritz, a sea resort town in the south west of France. In true American style, U.S. First Lady Melania Trump exchanged high-fives with the youngsters, with the other women following suit. ....France’s first lady Brigitte Macron and her counterparts including Melania Trump, joined by the first ladies of Australia, Chile and the EU Council, toured the streets of Espelette, a Basque village famous for its peppers, the Piment d’Espelette, on Aug. 25.

Bonjour, FLOTUS! Melania Trump arrived Saturday in France wearing one of her brightest ensembles yet. The first lady — disembarking from Air Force One in the city of Biarritz with President Donald Trump for the G7 summit, where he'll convene with world leaders — looked radiant in a tie-dye midi dress from Calvin Klein. The canary yellow smock, priced at $530.16 according to Net-a-Porter, is made from denim and features white and pink scalloped patterns that resemble flowers, blossoming at the right shoulder and the opposite hip. Melania completed her look with oversized sunglasses and bright pink stiletto heels, which...
