Melania Knauss Trump, 54, is the current First Lady of the United States. In 2025, she resumed the role after Donald Trump was inaugurated as President again. She first held the role from 2017 to 2021.
A striking monochrome visual
The portrait, captured in black and white, sets a subdued yet elegant tone. The Washington Monument is prominently visible in the background through a window, adding a historic and symbolic touch. This grayscale depiction marks a shift from her 2017 portrait, which featured a vibrant, close-up view of her face and a more personal style.
