Melania Trump’s appearance has changed over the years, leading some to believe in the conspiracy theory that she may have used a body double on certain occasions.
However, specialists attribute the First Lady‘s altered appearance to the use of botox, fillers, and a possible nose job.
In a 2016 interview with GQ, the Slovenian-born former model claimed she’s all natural.
“I didn’t make any changes,” she said. “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 day of the 2024 elections, which her husband won, Melania was spotted wearing unusually large sunglasses indoors.
People started questioning her fashion choice, and many speculated that her wearing sunglasses was related to having had some form of cosmetic work done on her face.
That, or that wasn’t Melania at all, but her body double. This led to the conspiracy theory that went viral, along with the hashtag #FakeMelania.
“Why is Trump using a quite bad #FakeMelania stand-in with gigantic shades at the polling station? LOL Total madness!” someone wrote on X.
Another shared a photo of her standing next to her husband at the voting poles, with the caption: “They brought back #fakemelania for the series finale!”
A third added, “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.”
