Barron Trump debuts sleek new look at Donald's inauguration, Internet says he looks 'just like his dad'

WASHINGTON, DC: Barron Trump, the youngest son of President Donald Trump, recently debuted a sleek, refined new look that highlighted his resemblance to his father.

The 18-year-old student at New York University’s Stern School of Business accompanied his parents at the inauguration on Monday, January 20, where his father was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States.

Barron Trump's slick new look

Barron Trump sported a short, slicked-back hairstyle, a departure from the earlier, tousled blonde locks seen at Donald Trump’s 2017 inauguration.

Wearing a long black overcoat, a crisp white shirt, and a purple tie, Barron exuded elegance and maturity as he joined his family at St John’s Episcopal Church in Washington, DC, for a pre-inauguration service.

Observers were quick to note Barron’s resemblance to his father Donald, with his new hairstyle drawing comparisons online.

The transformation underscored the youngest Trump’s journey from a boyish 10-year-old during the 2017 inauguration to a poised and towering young man.

At 6’9”, Barron stands out not only in stature but also in presence. Despite keeping a neutral expression throughout most of the ceremony, he displayed flashes of warmth while interacting with his parents and siblings. 

Barron Trump's reserved yet fascinating presence

Shielded from public scrutiny by his mother Melania Trump, Barron has rarely spoken publicly, which has only fueled curiosity about him.

In recent years, Barron has reportedly played an influential role in advising his father on connecting with younger voters, particularly Gen Z. 

His insights into youth culture and trends were said to be instrumental during the campaign, according to Daily Mail.

Currently studying business at NYU’s prestigious Stern School, Barron is reportedly popular among his peers.

A source told People that he is “a ladies’ man” who commands attention, both for his charm and his family name.

Trump family in the spotlight

Barron Trump joined his half-siblings, Tiffany Trump, Donald Trump Jr, Eric Trump, and Ivanka Trump at the ceremony.

Ivanka, who held a significant advisory role during her father’s first term, is expected to take a step back this time, focusing more on her private endeavors.

The inauguration also marked the return of Melania Trump to the public eye.

Known for her impeccable style, she donned a custom navy coat and hat by American designers Adam Lippes and Eric Javits.

Barron Trump's transformation over the years

As a young boy, he waved confidently to the crowds with his family, his blonde hair unstyled and his demeanor playful.

He later joined his father at the signing of cabinet nominations, quietly observing the historical proceedings.
