Melania Trump found herself in the spotlight again after her husband Donald Trump won the presidential election in the United States of America. Born in Slovenia, the former model will once again become first lady, after serving in the role during Trump’s 2016-2020 tenure.
23 years ago, in a Slovenian clothing advertisement, the first woman to be sworn in as commander-in-chief was played by a 23-year-old model – Melania Trump.
A video of a Slovenian commercial from 1993, in which Melania plays the president, has now gone viral on social media. The video shows her exiting the plane and greeting the delegation, then, escorted by security, getting into a car and fixing her makeup, preparing for the inauguration. At the end of the video, with a big smile on his face, he takes the oath.
Melania before Trump
She showed interest in fashion during her schooling. At that time, she didn’t want to be a model, but a fashion designer. After winning a competition organized by the Italian fashion studio Cinecitta, she was awarded the opportunity to get her first film role.

But she turned down this opportunity after the producer asked her if they had sex. She continued to do modeling engagements. She decided to use the surname Knauss, which was derived from her real surname Knavs.
She traveled through Europe with the intention of becoming even more successful in the world of fashion. She remained in contact with relatives, while she was not in contact with the rest of the family. In 1992, she won second place in the Jana magazine Look of the Year competition.
Thanks to this success, she signed a contract with RVR Reclame in Milan, but broke off the collaboration after a few months. When she was 23, she moved to Paris. She worked with fashion houses in Paris and Milan.
