The White House publishes the official portrait of Melania Trump as First Lady
Crossed arms and dressed in black, Donald Trump's wife posed at the White House for her first official portrait as First Lady of the United States
Melania Trump is dressed in black, New York-style, and Melania Trump shows a different face than the girl who became known as a model, now in her first official portrait as First Lady of the United States. The White House published the photograph this Monday of April, taken inside the presidential home, in which Melania appears with a black blazer to match with a scarf decorated with sequins in the neck. In addition to her great ring of commitment, in perfect combination with her mane of brown hair that carried loose to immortalize her image as the wife of the 45th President of the United States, Donald Trump.
"I am honored to serve in the role of First Lady, and I look forward to working on behalf of the American people in the coming years," she said in a statement accompanying the official portrait. Since last January 20, Melania, born in Slovenia, became the second woman of foreign origin to hold the position of First Lady. Before her, in 1825, Louisa, a British woman, had the title for being the wife of President John Quincy Adams.
The photograph of Melania appears almost three months after Donald's investiture, and highlights that since the ceremony in which Barack Obama passed the command to his successor, he has been very distant from his role. Even Melania has been living in her New York home with her 10-year-old son, Barron Trump. The former model had made it known that her plans to move to Washington with her husband would be made once her son finished his school year. And, although her place of residence is in the Big Apple, Melania's visits to the White House are constant.
Last Wednesday, the 46-year-old woman was present in the 2017 edition of the Secretary of State's International Women of Courage Awards. There, as part of her status as the President's wife, she gave a speech on female empowerment. "Together, we must declare that the era of allowing brutality against women and children is over, as women's power grows and reasserts around the world," she said. "Wherever women decline, the world diminishes with them, but wherever women are valued, cities, villages, schools and economies are empowered, and together we are strengthened with them," she said.
