Throwback Photos Of Melania Trump Go Viral On Reddit
Ever since Donald Trump got re-elected for a second term, people have been talking about Melania Trump a whole lot more, especially since she's taken a bit of a step back this time around, as compared to his first term as president from 2017 to 2021. Aside from a few special holiday and White House events, the 55-year-old has been staying more behind the scenes, which has caused the internet to look into her past and older pictures of her.
On social media platforms like Reddit, people have been revisiting photos taken of the former model from the late 90s and early 2000s, when she started gaining even more notoriety for dating Donald, right before marrying him in 2005. Back then, she was around 30 years old, and she often sported darker hair than she does now. Melania's hair was a dark brunette shade for years, and she occasionally sported a lighter brown from time to time.
While her locks weren't extremely thick, she often kept them styled, usually opting for a Y2K blowout or straightening them. In older snaps of her, which went viral, she can be seen posing for paparazzi and modeling photographers, with straight, dark hair and face-framing layers. You can see the pictures here!

Social Media Reacts To Melania's Older Photos And Says She Looks 'So Different'
Internet users started looking into these photographs following the re-election of the infamous president, and on Reddit, started commenting on how much they feel the mom-of-one has changed over the years. Not only has she aged, which was expected, but her style and hair have evolved a lot, especially after entering politics.
From her husband's first administration to now, Melania often wears her hair down in loose waves and has kept a fairly consistent blonde highlighted shade to it. Her clothes have become much more conservative while staying trendy, with her fair share of long dresses, tailored blazers, and chic skirts. After getting a good look at her older pictures, both professional and casual, users began comparing her style from then to now.
"Wow, she looks stunning here," wrote a Reddit user. "She looks so, so different now. I would have never guessed this was her."
"That looks nothing like her now," commented another.
"I actually prefer her with darker hair versus the lighter, blonde look she's going for now," added a user.
Other Reddit users pointed out the differences in her face, pointing out that she's seemingly dabbled in cosmetic treatments or plastic surgery over the decades.
"She truly transformed her entire face," commented a user.
"How she managed to change her face so much, I don't know," added another.
While many internet users seem to agree that Melania has remained beautiful and elegant over the years, it's no secret that her hair and style certainly have evolved, and it looks like numerous folks are missing her pre-politics looks.
