After staying mostly out of the spotlight early in Donald Trump’s second term, First Lady Melania Trump made a rare public appearance at the 2025 Congressional Picnic on June 12, wearing a stylish summer outfit.
Trump praised her during his speech, joking she might take his position.
Known for protecting her family’s privacy, Melania engaged warmly with guests.
Her appearance sparked mixed online reactions, with some unfairly comparing her to Caitlyn Jenner, though others defended her.
She also received recognition for her work on the Take It Down Act against nonconsensual explicit content. Her fashion has grown more reserved, contrasting her more colorful 2017 debut.
