Melania Trump is the most beautiful first lady this nation has ever seen, yet also the most hidden and ignored by the press. Never has a first lady been so mistreated and snubbed the way Mrs. Trump has. During her husband’s presidency, Michelle Obama was on the covers of dozens of magazines, including Vogue (several times), Glamour, and pretty much any other magazine you could name. Melania Trump has been on none. Despite her stunning beauty and impeccable fashion sense, not a single American magazine has featured the first lady of the United States. Everyone has noticed.
Melania doesn’t care that she isn’t on magazine covers. That’s her real beauty. Michelle, on the other hand…..

Vogue Editor-in-chief Anna Wintour told CNN that Vogue has always profiled first ladies, but clearly meant to insinuate that Mrs. Trump isn’t their kind of first lady.
I think it’s very, very important to have a point of view, and we profile women in the magazine that we believe in … After the defeat of Secretary Clinton in 2016 (in particular), we believe that women should have a leadership position and we intend to support them.
Speaking about Michelle Obama, Wintour praised the former first lady for her fearlessness and for transforming the role. “She was just so inspiring to so many women. And obviously — on a very selfish note, speaking as the editor-in-chief of Vogue — she did wonders for fashion. She loved fashion.“We always had a tradition at Vogue to photograph the first ladies when they first came in to office — some extraordinary, wonderful women, and it was an honor to photograph them. But they were always super cautious about what they wanted to wear and the image that they wanted to present: Nearly always a jacket, maybe some pearls if you were Mrs. Bush. But with Mrs. Obama, she was fearless and it was just such a joy for all of us that work in fashion.”
