The White House unveiled Melania Trump’s official portrait as first lady today, although few details have been revealed thus far.
An official release states that the first lady was photographed in the White House, and one astute Twitter user was able to deduce that she is standing in the same spot where Nancy Reagan was for her portrait in 1982. However, details regarding the timing of the photograph as well as which designer dressed her have not been released.
