Don’t expect Melania Trump to return to modeling anytime soon.
The Slovenian catwalker-turned-first lady appeared on “Fox & Friends” Wednesday, and host Brian Kilmeade inquired whether she’d consider posing for magazine covers once her husband, President-elect Donald Trump, returns to the White House next year.
“One thing that stood out for us is here you are, this beautiful international model, and you’re the first lady of the United States, the world’s most popular country,” Kilmeade said.
“You’re in the White House, and you’re not on the cover of any of these magazines. Do you think that will change? And would you say yes to them — the Vogues, the Peoples, whatever?”
Replied Melania, “Look, I’ve been there on the covers — on the cover of Vogue, on the covers of many magazines before.”
The incoming FLOTUS added that her time and energy will be devoted to more pressing matters over the next few years.
“We have so many other important things to do than to be on the cover of any magazine,” she said. “I think that life would not change for anybody if I’m on the cover.”
“Can I retract my question?” Kilmeade joked in in response.
Melania began modeling when she was 16, working with renowned fashion photographers like Antoine Verglas and Ellen von Unwerth.
She met her husband in 1998 at a New York Fashion Week party hosted by Paolo Zampolli, her former modeling agent.
Ahead of the couple’s lavish Palm Beach nuptials in January 2005, Melania appeared on the cover of Vogue, clad in her custom Dior wedding dress — which she selected in Paris with the help of the magazine’s Anna Wintour and André Leon Talley.
According to the article, her gown was created from 300 feet of white duchesse satin, embroidered with 1,500 crystal rhinestones and pearls and weighed a whopping 60 pounds.
But while it’s become something of a tradition for Vogue to feature first ladies on its covers — including Jill Biden, Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton — Melania was conspicuously absent from the magazine throughout her husband’s first term as president, much to his dismay.
“They are biased, and they have likes and dislikes, and it’s so obvious,” Melania told “Fox & Friends” during her first post-White House interview in 2022.
“And I think American people and everyone see it, and I have much more important things to do — and I did in the White House — than being on the cover of Vogue.”
