Melania Trump's 'stunning' official portrait has fans drawing parallels to famous image of husband Donald

WASHINGTON, DC: The official portrait of First Lady Melania Trump was unveiled by the White House on Monday, January 27, and shared on the official X (formerly Twitter) account of FLOTUS.

While fans adored the smoldering black-and-white sharp-suited look of the 54-year-old former model, many were quick to compare it with an iconic image of her husband, President Donald Trump, from his first term in the White House, reported The US Sun.

Melania Trump's official portrait

Melania Trump has been captured leaning forward against a reflective table with her eyes locked straight ahead at the camera in the portrait commemorating her return to the White House. She stands in front of a picturesque backdrop of the capital.

The First Lady was dressed in a black for the photograph, and let her hair flow down in loose curls. She accessorized with a cummerbund, appearing to match the popular look of her husband Donald.

While the intense stare given by Melania was similar to the one Trump applied for his official photograph after being reinstated in the Oval Office, the overall appearance of the First Lady brought to mind another picture that was reportedly taken in the Oval Office back in 2017.

On the day of the presidential inauguration, Melania showed off her high sense of fashion. While she captured the attention at the ceremony in the Capitol Rotunda with a formal suit and a boater-style hat, she stunned later in the day by wearing a black and white gown to the inaugural ball.

Internet swoons over Melania Trump's official portrait

Netizens praised Melania Trump as they commented on the recently released photograph on the social media platform X. The following tweets demonstrate their takes.

"Stunning! Absolutely iconic," wrote a user.

"Serious business and gorgeous too. Love it!" exclaimed another.

"Class, grace, and elegance personified!" shared someone else.

"The complete set" noted one individual, comparing the image to Donald Trump's old photograph.

"Great call. I was wondering why it looked familiar," commented another user.

However, some netizens slammed the portrait alleging it was heavily edited.

"The WH released Melania's official portrait, after months of photoshop," mocked a person sharing the image.

"That photoshop is insane," stated another.

"Might be completely AI," quipped one more.
