Melania Trump has stepped back from the public eye in recent years — yet again, the spotlight has found its way back to her.
A photo of the First Lady from 2018 — captured during French President Emmanuel Macron’s state visit to Washington — has recently gone viral, and not for any political reasons.
Instead, the internet is buzzing about one particular detail: Melania’s backside.
“I didn’t make any changes…”
Throughout the years, Melania Trump has encountered her share of harsh rumors — and at times, even some warranted criticism. Much of the focus has often been on her appearance and fashion choices, a fascination that seems to persist, judging by how often it’s discussed.
One subject that continues to pique interest is whether Melania has ever had plastic surgery to preserve her youthful appearance.
The former supermodel, who recently celebrated her 55th birthday, addressed the rumors in a 2016 interview with GQ, firmly stating: “I didn’t make any changes… I live a healthy life, I take care of my skin and my body.”
Melania also emphasized that she is not in favor of cosmetic enhancements, stating:
“I’m against Botox, I’m against injections; I think it’s damaging your face, damaging your nerves. It’s all me. I will age gracefully, just like my mom.”
However, a photo from seven years ago has reignited the speculation.
The photograph featured Melania Trump next to French First Lady Brigitte Macron, both elegantly dressed in all-white outfits. This image was taken at the White House in 2018. During this time, Brigitte and her spouse, French President Emmanuel Macron, were in Washington for a three-day official visit while Donald Trump was serving his first term as president.
The two first ladies posed together in their coordinated white attire, exchanging little more than subtle smiles.
However, rather than complimenting their diplomatic fashion, online commentators focused on Melania’s figure.
“Wait… she’s been concealing that,” one individual remarked.
Things escalated quickly.
Another commenter was blunt: “One is a ‘Golddigger’ who invested in b*tt implants. The other is a sophisticated French woman whose husband is Prime Minister.”
The online discussion rapidly intensified, with users alleging that Melania had undergone cosmetic procedures.
“I guess you develop an a** when you marry one,” one person joked.
“A fake a** on Melania. All surgery,” another user asserted.
“One has a peach and the other has pancakes,” someone else humorously commented.
However, not everyone agreed with the sudden fixation.
“Different women have different bodies. Quite surprising, isn’t it?” one user responded, criticizing the judgmental attitude.
“She can’t even open a window…”
When the original photo was captured, Brigitte Macron spoke to the French publication Le Monde, where she revealed insights about Melania’s enigmatic public image.
“She can’t even open a window at the White House. She can’t go outside,” Brigitte remarked. “She’s much more restricted than I am. I go out every day in Paris.”
Nonetheless, Brigitte characterized Melania as “really fun,” stating, “We share the same sense of humor. We laugh a lot together.” Despite Melania’s seemingly distant public demeanor, Brigitte emphasized that it’s more about being cautious than being standoffish:
“Everything is interpreted, over-interpreted,” she shared.
“She possesses a strong personality, yet she makes an effort to conceal it. She finds humor in everything and laughs easily, though she expresses it less than I do. She is kind, charming, intelligent, and very open.”
While Donald Trump has returned to the White House for a second term this year, Melania has chosen to maintain a low profile. However, a source from People indicates that she isn’t seeking the spotlight — she’s simply enjoying her life.
“Melania doesn’t care at all about her political appearance,” the insider revealed.
“Just because she remains quiet in a crowd doesn’t imply she is detached, not paying attention, or uninterested. Her thoughts are occupied with her daily activities, her own life, and her interests.”
The source further mentioned that the Trumps have established their own routine.
“Donald pursues his activities, and she pursues hers… When they converse, she speaks her mind, and he listens. Does he always follow her advice? Not necessarily, but it has occurred.”
Even in silence, Melania continues to capture the headlines.
“Can’t you all just allow women to exist peacefully?” one commenter remarked — possibly encapsulating the entire situation perfectly.
