Strike a pose.
That’s exactly what first lady Melania Trump is doing in her new official White House portrait that was released Monday afternoon.
The first lady is seen in a striking power pose – leaning slightly forward with her hands resting on a table.
The black and white portrait was captured by esteemed photographer Régine Mahaux. It was taken on January 21, 2024, in the Yellow Oval Room of the White House, according to the office of the first lady.
Trump, a former fashion model, is seen posing in business attire – opting for a dark-colored suit with a crisp white shirt underneath. Trump’s hair is down and wavy. Her nails are meticulously manicured.
The portrait was met with praise online.
‘Easily the most stunning First Lady in American history,’ one user wrote on X.
‘Melania really exudes power in this photo — especially with the Washington Monument standing tall in the background,’ another praised.
Others speculated the first lady was attempting to send a message.
‘This time, Melania is out for revenge,’ an X user wrote.
While another said, ‘Her revenge tour is going to be awesome!’
