Gilded, Silent, and In Control: Melania Trump in a Fashion-First Documentary
A glossy but airless documentary portrays Melania Trump as a control-driven, fashion-obsessed figure who dominates staff dress codes, oversees inauguration fittings, and curates private moments with Donald and Barron, while projecting a non-political First Lady image; the film interleaves scenes from events like Arlington Cemetery and St Patrick’s Cathedral with cameos from tech leaders, but the reviewer calls it a dull, self-aggrandizing autohagiography that spends $28m on style over substance and reveals little about actual politics.
