Melania Trump: First solo appearance since the inauguration

Melania Trump (54) has been even more in the background since the beginning of her husband Donald Trump (78). On Monday, the US first lady first appeared in public alone since January 20 – and took the opportunity to draw attention to an important topic.

Melania Trump took part in a round table discussion at the Capitol Hill in Washington, DC to support the “Take It Down” draft, which is supposed to protect the victims of deep porn and revenge. The draft law introduced by members of both parties was already adopted in the Senate.

“I was pleased to hear that Senator Cruz and Senator Klobuchar agreed to give themselves priority to this fundamental matter,” said Melania, according to “People” and appealed before the press: “The widespread abusive behavior in the digital world affects the daily life of our children, families and communities.” It is important to deal with the topic “to create a safe and supportive environment for our young people”.

As with earlier appearances this year, First Lady again rely on a masculine inspired look. Melania Trump appeared in an elegant three -part suit in beige, complete with a vest. Below she wore a white shirt that combined her with a black tie. Her outfit was rounded off by beige pumps that underlined the monochrome style.

The change in Melania’s look as “significant”. While the former model between 2016 and 2020, Donald Trump’s first term as US president, mostly weared midi dresses, rock and blouses or evening dresses, she is now becoming a suit more and more. Already at the National Governors Association Dinner in February, she had worn a black suit with a shirt. She also presents herself in a suit on her official portrait in the White House. There is no official explanation for the change of style – however, it could be a conscious “power demonstration”.

Possibly also to your husband? From the end of February, Melania should lead her own life in his new term. Among other things, she was busy shooting a documentary for Amazon Prime Video, which is about herself, which is to appear in the second half of 2025.

She has her own idea of ​​what she wants to do and “will never be a traditional first lady,” People quoted a political insider. The 54-year-old stayed in Palm Beach as well as in the White House last month, but did not spend any noteworthy time in an official function. She largely leads “her own life”, but is at the side of her husband, “if it is appropriate”. In her property in Palm Beach, she usually stays “in” and only “occasionally” accompanied Donald Trump for dinner.

In addition to her documentary, the First Lady is to follow another project behind the scenes. In January, she said “Fox & Friends” that she wanted to revive her initiative “Be Best”. During the first term in May 2018, she launched this as an educational campaign to help children fight online bullying and opioid epidemic.
