It’s her first TV interview since her husband had to step down as US president – and Melania Trump doesn’t shy away from criticism. The former First Lady with American “Vogue” still had a score to settle down.
Last summer, Jill Biden showed off her fashionable side and smiled from the August cover of American Vogue. The wife of US President Joe Biden is thus following a tradition, as in recent years the first ladies have repeatedly graced the covers of fashion magazines during the tenure of their husbands. Michelle Obama also appeared on the cover several times, as did her predecessors Laura Bush and Hillary Clinton.
Melanie Trump Didn’t Get a “Vogue” Cover as First Lady
However, one person did not receive this honor during her time in the White House: Melania Trump. The magazine did not dedicate a cover story to the former model as First Lady between 2016 and 2020. In a new TV interview, the former First Lady directly criticized Vogue and its editor-in-chief Anna Wintour for the decision, after her husband Donald Trump was forced to step down as US president.
