Fashion editor Anna Wintour is continuing her feud with Melania Trump, using Vogue to launch a vicious attack on the First Lady's White House portrait.
The fashion magazine published a scathing review comparing Melania's look to that of a "freelance magician," the Daily Mail reports.
It's the latest example of the left-leaning bias of the publication, which famously glorified Jill Biden and Kamala Harris but has yet to feature Trump, a former supermodel, on its cover.
Melania's official portrait strikes a serious tone, with the First Lady making a power pose in a black tuxedo jacket. The black-and-white image is a stark contrast from her more conventional portrait in 2017, which was in color and showed Melania smiling.
In a vicious review of the new portrait, writer Hannah Jackson dissed the First Lady for bucking tradition and compared her to a "freelance magician."
“The choice to wear a tuxedo — as opposed to a blazer or blouse — made Trump look more like a freelance magician than a public servant," Jackson wrote.
The fashion critic invoked President Trump's past as a reality TV host in her unflattering review, adding, "Trump looked more like she was guest starring on an episode of ‘The Apprentice’ than assuming the role of first lady of the United States."
"It’s perhaps unsurprising that a woman who lived in a gold-encrusted penthouse, whose fame is so intertwined with a reality television empire, would refuse to abandon theatrics—even when faced with 248 years of tradition."
Melania appeared on Vogue's cover in 2005 following her wedding to Donald Trump, but she was blacklisted by the fashion world after her husband's rise to the White House in 2017.
Vogue never featured Melania on its cover during her husband's first term, but the magazine went on to provide glamorous treatment to First Lady Jill Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
“Look, I’ve been there on the covers — on the cover of Vogue, on the covers of many magazines before,” Melania told Fox News in a recent interview.
“We have so many other important things to do than to be on the cover of any magazine. I think that life would not change for anybody if I’m on the cover,” she added.
While Melania is returning to the White House with more confidence - and more public acceptance - than she had the first time, it appears the left-wing media isn't finished hating on her just yet.
