Melania Trump “looked more like she was guest starring on an episode” of the business-themed show than “assuming the role of first lady of the United States,” wrote Jackson. And a tuxedo “made Trump look more like a freelance magician than a public servant,” she added. Vogue and Melania Trump have history.

Melania Trump and Vogue are continuing its alleged beef into 2025 with the outlet's review of her portrait. Has the first lady ever been on the cover?

She’s stunning and rarely misses when it comes to fashion…your opinions are trash and based purely on politics,” one critic wrote in response to the piece.

Written by Hannah Jackson, Vogue felt like the look made Melania look like a "freelance magician," while also saying that she "looked more like she was guest starring on an episode of The Apprentice than assuming the role of first lady of the United States," referring to her husband Donald Trump 's famous reality TV series.

Vogue’s beef with Melania, who did some modeling work before meeting her future husband around 1998, began when President Donald Trump was first elected to office in 2016. While most first ladies are asked to pose for the prestigious magazine, Melania didn’t appear in its glossy pages.

Despite Melania Trump's high-fashion savvy as a former model, Vogue Global Editorial Director Anna Wintour has appeared to shut out the first lady over politics.
