Melania Trump has reportedly prepared ‘intensively’ for her second term as First Lady. First Lady Melania Trump’s second White House portrait has been released - and the internet has had plenty to say about it. The 54-year-old’s second portrait as First Lady features her in grayscale, wearing a fitted black suit as she stands with her hands on a tabletop. The Washington Monument is visible in the background through a window.

Social media users were quick to react to the new portrait. Many of the First Lady’s supporters were enthused by the new portrait, however. Some hailed the portrait as “absolutely stunning,” while others noted her stern demenour, adding: “She looks like she’s got the grin of ‘Somebody is going to pay.”.
The portrait, released Monday afternoon, was taken in the White House’s Yellow Oval Room by Régine Mahaux. The 58-year-old has regularly photographed members of the Trump family for nearly 20 years — and took Melania’s first portrait as First Lady in 2017.
This year’s portrait is quite different from her last. Melania has reportedly been “preparing intensively” for her return to the White House, including by studying foreign affairs, CNN reported earlier this month. She also plans to split her time between Washington, D.C., and Palm Beach, Florida, she told Fox News’s Fox & Friends.
