Amazon MGM Studios has unveiled the first trailer for a documentary film about the wife of the incumbent U.S. president Donald Trump, First Lady Melania Trump.
The film, titled Melania, focuses on twenty days in the life of the First Lady leading up to Donald Trump’s inauguration in 2025.

The trailer opens with a scene in the rotunda of the U.S. Capitol ahead of the president’s second inauguration. Melania Trump looks straight into the camera and remarks with irony: «Here we go again».

The footage brings together familiar moments from the inauguration events – from preparing her look, including the much-discussed hat, to choosing the dress for the first official dance with the newly elected president at the formal inaugural ball.

According to Deadline, Amazon Studios acquired the rights to produce the documentary for $40 million. The company’s founder, Jeff Bezos, was among the guests at the inauguration. The studio notes that the film features exclusive footage of key meetings and private conversations previously unseen by the general public.

The project was directed by Brett Ratner. The premiere of Melania is scheduled for January 30, 2026.

U.S. First Lady Melania Trump has unveiled the White House Christmas décor – the first since the Trump family’s return to the presidential residence.

The decorations were created over the course of a week, with the help of more than 1,500 volunteers. Today, the nation’s primary residence is adorned with more than 50 Christmas trees, 75 wreaths, 210 meters of garlands, about 7.5 kilometers of ribbon, and 10,000 decorative butterflies.

As tradition dictates, the First Lady determines the overarching theme of the holiday decoration. This year’s theme is «Home Is Where the Heart Is.» According to the White House website, Melania drew her inspiration «from the joys, challenges, and constant momentum of motherhood and business»

«This Christmas, let us celebrate the love we carry within us and share it with the world. After all, no matter where we are, we can create a home filled with elegance, radiance, and endless possibilities», Mrs. Trump wrote in her message, releasing a video of the decorated White House on the official social media account.

One of the key elements is the Red Room of the Future, dedicated to children in the foster care system – a cause Melania has championed for many years. Other rooms feature installations honoring the upcoming 250th anniversary of the United States, as well as portraits of George Washington and Donald Trump constructed entirely from LEGO pieces.

The main Christmas tree has been installed, as always, in the Blue Room – a towering fir from Michigan dedicated this year to the families of fallen service members. It is decorated with golden stars, symbolizing the ultimate sacrifice, and ornaments depicting the official birds and flowers of every U.S. state and territory.

In the Green Room, a small tree stands between portraits made from 6,000 puzzle pieces. Meanwhile, the State Dining Room hosts the traditional gingerbread White House – this year crafted from more than 54 kilograms of gingerbread dough, 45 kilograms of sugar paste, 4.5 kilograms of chocolate, and 2.2 kilograms of icing.

The annual ceremony marks the beginning of the holiday season at the residence of the President of the United States. This year, the main tree, standing 5.6 meters tall, was brought from Korson’s Tree Farms in Michigan. This particular tree had won first place in the summer contest, which traditionally determines the White House’s official Christmas tree.

According to tradition, the tree was delivered to the residence by horse-drawn carriage, accompanied by members of the administration.

Following a week-long tour across Asian countries, U.S. President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump hosted the traditional White House Halloween celebration.

However, the presidential couple chose not to wear costumes. Donald Trump appeared in his usual business attire complemented by a red cap, while Melania opted for an elegant beige coat.

The event brought together hundreds of children — from toddlers to teenagers. Among the guests were little Spider-Men, Captains America, ballerinas, princesses and leprechauns. Two boys arrived wearing caps and suits with the Trump name, imitating the president’s smile, while a girl beside them wore a white coat reminiscent of the First Lady’s signature style. Some parents also embraced the festive atmosphere by wearing “USA” caps similar to the president’s.

The celebration was attended by children of military personnel, administration officials and White House staff. For example, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt came with her young son dressed as a pumpkin. Former Trump administration official Katie Miller chose a skeleton costume, while her husband, Stephen Miller, Deputy White House Chief of Staff, remained in a classic suit.

During the event, Donald and Melania greeted guests and handed out chocolate packaged in boxes adorned with the presidential seal.

Due to the construction of a new ballroom — a project initiated by President Trump himself — parts of the White House grounds were temporarily closed off with decorative walls. Behind them, a parked bulldozer could still be seen.

The state visit of Donald and Melania Trump to the United Kingdom has stirred lively discussion not only in political circles but also in the fashion press.

A joint walk through the Frogmore Gardens in Windsor by Kate Middleton and Melania Trump drew particular attention from fashion experts, who immediately began comparing the looks of the Princess of Wales and the First Lady of the United States. The focus fell especially on their suede jackets — a major trend this autumn.

Kate Middleton remained true to her signature style, where classic elegance meets practicality. She chose a cropped suede jacket in a rich green hue by ME+EM, pairing it with a printed silk scarf tied in a neat bow.

Her look was completed with a tweed midi skirt by Ralph Lauren, suede ankle boots by Gianvito Rossi, and a dark crocodile-embossed belt with a bold buckle from Polo Ralph Lauren. The outfit exuded understated refinement, highlighting the princess’s natural elegance.

Melania Trump, on the other hand, opted for a bold and structured look in quintessential American style. The U.S. First Lady wore a light caramel suede safari-inspired jacket by Ralph Lauren, accentuated with a wide belt and a prominent buckle.

She paired it with cream-colored trousers and flat ballet shoes. The combination of ivory and caramel proved to be a timeless choice, evoking the sophisticated aesthetics of the old money style.

An interesting item has appeared on the online auction site eBay: the famous Christian Dior dress designed by John Galliano, which Melania wore when she married Donald Trump in January 2005.

The first to report this was writer Liana Satenstein, who shared the news on her blog Neverworn. According to the author, her friend Patricia Thorvalds stumbled upon this remarkable find while searching for Dior wedding dresses from the 1980s. The seller claims that this dress is original and that she personally purchased it from Melania for her own wedding in 2010 for $70,000.

There is a nuance: the dress has undergone some minor modifications. The seller added a few details: a new satin layer on the hem, embroidery on the corset, and straps.

However, despite the seller’s claim, a source told Women’s Wear Daily that the authentic Melania Trump couture dress is located at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida. Whether it’s true or fake remains a mystery, but the outfit strikingly resembles Mrs. Trump’s wedding ensemble.

Let us recall that Donald Trump proposed to his beloved in April 2004, and a year later, the couple tied the knot in Palm Beach. This marriage was Melania’s first, while Donald had previously been married to Ivana Trump and Marla Maples.

The selection of the wedding attire took place in Paris with the participation of Anna Wintour and André Leon Talley. Immediately after the wedding, Melania Trump posed in this dress for American Vogue, with the shoot directed by Mario Testino. The garment was crafted from 100 meters of white satin and adorned with 1,500 Swarovski crystals, making it a true hit in wedding fashion.

According to Vogue, the dress took 550 hours to make and weighed nearly 27 kilograms. The exact price of the dress is unknown: it is believed to be worth $200,000, although Melania herself mentioned a different figure –$100,000 – in one of her interviews.

Melania Trump, wife of former U.S. President Donald Trump, has become the star of the latest issue of Hello, appearing on two digital covers – one in color and one in black and white.

The former First Lady did not give an interview herself, but instead, three members of her team spoke with the editorial team: stylist and designer Hervé Pierre, official photographer Régine Mahaux, and interior designer Tham Kannalikham. They shared their impressions of working with the 54-year-old wife of the former U.S. leader and spoke about her personality and image during her husband’s potential second presidential term.

According to her team, Melania Trump is a determined yet warm woman who is content with her role in her marriage and family. Her priority remains Donald and their 18-year-old son, Barron.

«She is always in the right place. She always stands behind her husband. He is in the spotlight, and she doesn’t need the light. She is an excellent number two. Her husband always comes first, and I admire that about her. She has strong family values – being a good wife and ensuring everyone is happy», shared photographer Mahaux.

Stylist Hervé Pierre noted that Melania Trump is always kind to the staff.

«She will make you coffee herself. If you imagine her as a woman surrounded by servants, you are mistaken», he assured.

Meanwhile, interior designer Tham Kannalikham highlighted Melania’s quiet strength and devotion to her husband:

«There is something about her – she is a strong woman – but at the same time, she has a soft power. She balances her husband very well… She is devoted. She loves him, and he loves her».
