Over time, Melania Trump’s look has shifted, which has fueled some intriguing speculation that she might have a body double stepping in on occasion.
Experts in the field, however, suggest these changes might actually be due to some cosmetic enhancements like botox, fillers, or perhaps a nose job.
In a GQ interview from 2016, Melania, who originally hails from Slovenia and once graced fashion runways as a model, insisted she’s completely natural.
“I didn’t make any changes,” she shared. “A lot of people say I am using all the procedures for my face. I didn’t do anything. I live a healthy life; I take care of my skin and my body. I’m against Botox, I’m against injections; I think it’s damaging your face, damaging your nerves. It’s all me. I will age gracefully, as my mom does.”
On the victorious day of the 2024 elections, Melania was seen indoors sporting unusually large sunglasses.
Folk couldn’t help but question her fashion choice, wondering if her sunglasses might be covering up recent cosmetic work.
Others went as far as speculating it wasn’t Melania at all, but a double, sparking a viral conspiracy with the hashtag #FakeMelania.
“Why is Trump using a quite bad #FakeMelania stand-in with gigantic shades at the polling station? LOL Total madness!” read a post on X.
Someone else tweeted a photo with her husband at the polls, cheekily noting: “They brought back #fakemelania for the series finale!”
A third observer remarked, “Absolutely walking around with a fake Melania. Refuses to take her sunglasses off indoors. Not her face, not her nose, not her hair and she actually smiled, so definitely not her.”
Dr. Dennis Schimpf, a cosmetic plastic surgeon from South Carolina, thinks the First Lady likely had filler work done anticipating media buzz around the elections.

Another surgeon, Dr. Thomas Barnes, noted she “just looked plain tired.”
Dr. Gary Motykie, a cosmetic surgeon, pointed to signs of fillers and a nose job on the First Lady.
“But I have noticed a change in her nose. Noses don’t typically get smaller as they get older; they get bigger, but hers is definitely smaller and more defined, so I am very suspicious for at least one rhinoplasty [nose job],” he explained. “I do think she’s likely doing maintenance work as well—fillers, particularly in the mid-face, cheeks, maybe a touch in the lips, and the standard Botox upkeep.”
The public was quick to voice opinions. One person remarked, “There’s no denying she’s always been a beautiful woman… but please, who is she trying to kid by saying she’s not had any work done? Own it; we wouldn’t think any less of you. You get a pass for having put up with Trump all these years.”

Another noted: “With her money and the pressure on women in the USA to look 25 at 75, of course she has! They all do it and they all deny it, saying it’s down to good nutrition and Nivea cream!”
No matter what, Melania remains a striking presence.
