Melania Trump isn’t happy another First Lady was featured on the cover of Vogue — even if it happened more than a year ago. According to People, during a recent appearance on “FOX & Friends,” Melania railed against indomitable editor-in-chief Anna Wintour for seemingly playing favorites by giving Jill Biden her cover moment in August 2021. Co-host Pete Hegseth pointed out how Melania’s experience in both the fashion and business worlds should have made her the ideal candidate to be a Vogue cover girl, suggesting there was a double standard at play when Biden was supposedly chosen instead of her.
Melania confirmed the fashion bible is “biased,” arguing, “They have likes and dislikes, and it’s so obvious.” It’s worth noting Laura Bush, Barbara Bush, and Nancy Reagan — all conservative first ladies just like Melania — appeared in the pages of Vogue, though none were gifted a cover. “I think American people and everyone sees it,” Melania argued. She noted, “It was their decision, and I have much more important things to do — and I did in the White House — than being on the cover of Vogue.” The former model did, however, cover the magazine back in 2005.
Elsewhere in Melania’s “FOX & Friends” interview, her first since Donald Trump left office, the frequently frosty former First Lady clarified she enjoyed her husband’s White House tenure, per The Hill. In fact, Melania might even want to be the First Lady again someday.
