Steps Into The Spotlight

OK! takes you inside Melania Trump’s private world as she transitions from (very) private citizen to first lady.

When Melania Trump walked gingerly onto the front steps of the U.S. Capitol on Inauguration Day, she was a vision in powder blue. Evoking the grace of style icons Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly — not to mention the impeccably tailored first ladies who came before her, including the beloved Jacqueline Kennedy— she looked positively regal in a custom Ralph Lauren cowl-necked cashmere suit-dress, a sweeping updo and elegant suede elbow-length gloves.

According to OK! sources, Melania is embracing the role of first lady and ready for whatever life alongside her husband,President Donald Trump, will bring. The Slovenian-born former model, 46, “has been praised time and time again by Donald for being a wonderful wife and mother,” says an insider, “and she’s destined to be the perfect first lady.” Adds the source, “She may be slightly shy and reluctant to take center stage, but she’s proved she can rise to the challenge for her husband.”
