The former First Lady is greatly admired as an ambassador to the US “way beyond fashion” by Vogue’s editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, who has failed to praise the current First Lady. Ms Wintour hasn’t featured Melania on the cover since 2005 following her marriage to now US President Donald Trump . The fashion giant, a longtime Democrat, hinted the magazine may never feature Melania again since becoming First Lady.

“This just further demonstrates how biased the fashion magazine industry is, and shows how insecure and small-minded Anna Wintour really is.”
