Unseen & Stunning Young Melania Trump Modeling Photos

Melania Trump is a Slovene-American former model and businesswoman. She was the first lady of the United States from 2017 to 2021, during the presidency of her husband, Donald Trump.

Melania isn’t the first style icon presidential wife and she’s also not the only one with stunning good looks. But her specific combination of style, beauty, foreign roots, and reserved demeanor all help to make the current FLOTUS one-of-a-kind. So where did she come from, and how has modeling helped shape who she is today? Read on to find out.

Melania hails from a small town in Slovenia and says she always had an interest in fashion and modeling. Born Melanjia Knavs, she claims that she used to knit sweaters herself. Her father Viktor Knavs was a car dealer and her mother, Amalija, was a children’s clothing designer. As Melania told People in 2016, “I always loved fashion. My mother was a fashion designer so it was always in my blood.”

Melania began working as a model at the tender age of 16. She got signed by an agency in Milan at the age of 18, but it wasn’t until she turned 22 that she got her big break. Melania was runner-up in the Slovenian women’s magazine Jana’s “Look of the Year” contest.
