Despite her renowned beauty, some still refuse to acknowledge Melania Trump — why is that?

Melania Trump is no stranger to the spotlight. Graceful, elegant, and with a career as a model long before becoming America’s first lady, she seems like the natural choice for glossy magazine covers.

covers.

But when it comes to fashion bibles like Vogue and Vanity Fair, the stunning wife of President Donald Trump has been left out — and fans can’t help but notice.

A cover-worthy first lady

Yet despite her high-profile role, she’s never graced the cover of Vogue, even though Michelle Obama appeared three times as first lady, and Jill Biden has already scored two covers in four years. As Ingrid Jacques argued in a USA TODAY opinion piece, the omission feels glaring given how prominently other first ladies have been celebrated.

The closest Melania came? A 2017 Vanity Fair Mexico cover. But the U.S. versions of the major fashion glossies have steered clear.

The Vanity Fair drama

Recently, Semafor reported that Vanity Fair’s global editorial director, Mark Guiducci, floated the idea of putting Melania on the cover. The backlash was immediate. One editor, quoted in the Daily Mail, threatened to quit if it happened, saying, “We are not going to normalize this despot and his wife.”

Jacques pointed out that even The New Republic, a progressive outlet, has acknowledged the double standard in how Melania is treated. The response shocked many Trump supporters, who see it as a clear example of media bias.

Melania’s quiet response

As for Melania herself? She has reportedly laughed off the whole cover drama, with a staff member telling the New York Post she has better things to do anyway.

Those who know her say she’s used to the scrutiny, from her Slovenian accent being mocked, to late-night hosts dismissing her intelligence. What often gets lost in the chatter: she reportedly speaks five languages and has carved her own independent path.

Conservative women push back

Some believe the media snub says more about the fashion world than about Melania. “To the left, conservative women are a special kind of pariah,” said Caroline Downey, a senior fellow at the Independent Women’s Forum.

Downey is also editor in chief of The Conservateur, a digital fashion and lifestyle magazine designed to give right-leaning women the same glamour and recognition they rarely see elsewhere.

Loved by half the country

While Vanity Fair and Vogue may not want to feature her, millions of Americans still see Melania as the epitome of elegance. Supporters call her a model first lady — stylish, reserved, and true to herself.

And as many point out: if Michelle and Jill can be cover stars, then so should Melania.
