Vogue Slams Melania Trump's White House Portrait, Comparing Her to a Magician
FashionMELANIA TRUMPVOGUE

Vogue magazine launched a scathing review of Melania Trump's newly unveiled White House portrait, drawing comparisons to a magician and criticizing her attire. The magazine, known for its coverage of Democratic figures, has previously featured both Jill Biden and Kamala Harris on its cover multiple times but notably excluded Melania Trump during her time as first lady. This latest piece further solidifies Vogue's apparent bias towards the Democratic party.

Vogue launched a vicious review of Melania Trump's newly-revealed White House portrait, comparing the first lady's look to that of a magician. The magazine spent four years fawning over the previous White House administration, featuring both Jill Biden and Kamala Harris on the cover several times each, and its latest piece on Melania reaffirms their preference for Democrats.

Vogue's editor-in-chief Anna Wintour is a known Democrat - and was once even rumored to be considered for an ambassadorship under president Barack Obama. 'Trump looked more like a freelance magician than a public servant,' wrote Hannah Jackson about the white-and-black portrait by Régine Mahaux. Jackson raged against the 'situationally inappropriate tuxedo' worn by Melania for the historic photograph, which shows the first lady in a power pose.'Trump looked more like she was guest starring on an episode of The Apprentice than assuming the role of first lady of the United States.' Jackson concluded: 'It’s perhaps unsurprising that a woman who lived in a gold-encrusted penthouse, whose fame is so intertwined with a reality television empire, would refuse to abandon theatrics—even when faced with 248 years of tradition.' Melania Trump surprised her devoted Instagram followers with her new official White House portrait, which was unveiled on Monday. Vogue magazine said Melania Trump's first lady portrait made her look like a magician and a participant on The Apprentice The magazine featured both Jill Biden and Kamala Harris on the cover several times each during the Biden years. Melania was never put on the cover during Trump's first term The black and white image was a big departure from former First Ladies, who have traditionally chosen much more colorful images. Instead, Melania, whose stylist Hervé Pierre has revealed in the past that it's difficult to dress her because many American designers refuse, showed off a black Dolce & Gabbana pantsuit with a white shirt.The Washington Monument was visible in the background. The photo was taken on January 21, the day after the inauguration, in the Yellow Oval Room of the residence by Belgian photographer Mahaux. Vogue famously excluded Melania from its pages while she was first lady, breaking its tradition of putting the presidents' wives on its coveted cover. Melania was secretly recorded in 2018 expressing rage that Vogue had not asked to feature her on its cover. 'Vogue said like, oh, we want to do a profile. Profile? F*** you, profile. I don't need no profile. Yeah, what I need another profile? It might be a cover. I'm like, might be a cover? I don't give a f*** about Vogue and any magazine.' While Democratic first ladies such as Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton were put on the Vogue cover, Republicans such as Laura and Barbara Bush were not. Melania, 54, shared the photo on the official FLOTUS Instagram account, which has four million followers. Unfortunately, many of the followers were left over from when they followed Jill Biden's account and were shocked to realize they were suddenly following Melania. Anna Wintour famously excluded Melania from Vogue while she was first lady. The editor - famed for her icy demeanor - is a staunch Democrat But Melania's followers adored the intense snap - and some even thought it looked like a Vogue cover - although some social media critics thought it appeared to be heavily Photoshopped. Some thought the picture looked strange, with one person saying, 'That's not an official photo. That's a heavily Photoshopped official photo.''Looks like she's made of plastic. It's so over-processed, heavy softening and blurring filtering. There's nothing warm or real about this image,' a commenter wrote disparagingly. Some of Melania's fans were recently left up in arms over the fact that she wasn't given the same respect in the fashion community that previous first ladies received despite the glamorous portrait. 'Jill Biden was given three Vogue covers. Zero for Melania. What a joke,' Link Lauren, the former senior advisor to RFK Jr., tweeted.
