Vogue Criticized for Harsh Review of Melania Trump's White House Portrait

Supporters of the First Lady accuse the magazine of bias and double standards in its critique of her tuxedo-inspired look.

Vogue's critique of Melania Trump's official White House portrait described her tuxedo outfit as resembling a 'freelance magician' rather than a public servant.
The magazine's commentary has drawn backlash from Trump supporters, including Staten Island Borough President Vito Fossella, who called for an apology and denounced the critique as indecent.
Melania's allies, including Bill White, have defended her as an elegant and strategic figure, praising her second-term fashion choices as influential and accessible.
Critics of Vogue have accused the publication of political bias and a history of excluding Trump-era figures, contrasting it with its favorable treatment of former First Lady Jill Biden.
The debate highlights ongoing tensions between the Trump administration and cultural institutions, with supporters framing Melania as a symbol of populist fashion.
