The official portrait of first lady Melania Trump was unveiled by the White House on Monday
The image, released in black and white, was taken in the residence by photographer Régine Mahaux.
The first lady’s office confirmed the photo was taken on Jan. 21, 2025, though the initial release mistakenly said it was taken in 2024.
She opted to pose in black and white, a stark contrast to her predecessors in the role, who used bright colors and the familiar settings of the White House to highlight their position as the president’s spouse.
Melania, in contrast, wears a black pantsuit with a crisp, white shirt by Dolce & Gabbana, one of her favorite European designers.
She stands tall, with her hands on a table before her, the Washington Monument visible in the background.
Staring directly at the camera, she dominates the frame with a hint of a challenge in her posture.
