The stylist and photographer had the chance to work with Melania Trump during her husband's first term. They are certain that the 54-year-old has gained a lot of confidence over time, yet she remains authentic.

The person responsible for Melania Trump's wardrobe, Hervé Pierre, revealed that he was often surprised by her practical approach to life. Despite not needing to, she always wanted to personally pack for the trips.

I immediately told her that she couldn’t do that and it was my job to do it, and she answered: ‘I always pack myself so I am sure what is in my luggage,’ he confessed to "Hello".

Regina Mahaux also confirmed that the politician's beloved is not detached from reality. In her opinion, Melania does not use her position and is always kind to those around her, regardless of their status.

The photographer depicted the U.S. First Lady as a hardworking person who takes her role seriously. Every day, she starts at 6 a.m. and goes to bed only after midnight. The reserved media image does not match how she treats her loved ones. According to Mahaux, she is empathetic and fulfills her roles as a wife and mother.

I always think she's like the Queen of England – she would never whine, I've never seen her complain and when things are wrong, she says what she has to say [but] nothing mean, nothing rude [...] She will also make a coffee for you herself. So if you have a vision of a woman surrounded by servants, you are wrong — we read in "Hello".

Does Melania Trump dislike her husband? They have been together for 20 years

The artist noted that this is the secret to the successful marriage of Melania and Donald Trump, who have been together for two decades (they married on January 22, 2005). From her observations, the relationship is based on mutual support and understanding.

Although the opinions of associates are favourable, not everyone sees Melania Trump's marriage in such bright terms. Critics point out that the couple does not show affection publicly and speculate that the former model may not be fond of her husband. What do you think is the truth?
