Melania Trump is known for her grace and elegance, but there’s much more to her than meets the eye. Before becoming First Lady, she studied architecture and design at the University of Ljubljana but left after a year to pursue modeling in Milan. Starting her career at just 16, she quickly rose to fame, appearing in top fashion magazines like Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, and even Sports Illustrated. She also holds a unique distinction—being the only First Lady to have posed nude in a magazine.
Standing at an impressive 5’11”, Melania is among the tallest First Ladies in U.S. history, sharing that honor with Eleanor Roosevelt and Michelle Obama. Another interesting fact? She’s only the second Catholic First Lady, following Jacqueline Kennedy. Unlike most presidential spouses, Melania didn’t move into the White House right away. She stayed in New York for five months so her son, Barron, could finish fifth grade.
Adding to her modern appeal, Melania stepped into the world of cryptocurrency. Alongside Donald Trump’s Trumpcoin,shelaunchedherowndigitalcurrency,theMelania coin, just before his 2025 inauguration. Whether in fashion, family, or finance, Melania continues to make her mark in unexpected ways.
