Channeling her husband Donald Trump’s campaign of portraying strength, she was shot in black and white by Belgian photographer Régine Mahaux. Melania posed in a menswear-inspired tuxedo with contemporary femininity: a tailored black blazer with wide lapels over an unbuttoned white top. It was teamed with a cummerbund and trousers.

Régine Mahaux, who has been photographing the Trumps since 2008, told Vanity Fair that Melania’s new portrait “didn’t need to be retouched.”
