Former and incoming First Lady Melania Trump is one of the most glamorous presidential wives to grace the White House in decades.
So it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that she has modeled herself around former First Lady Jackie Kennedy.
Although her time in the White House was brief, Jackie Kennedy is still known as one of the most popular, intelligent, and charming first ladies in American presidential history.
According to the Daily Mail, Melania Trump has channeled Jackie Kennedy on several occasions.
The outlet’s piece on the comparisons between the two focuses on Melania Trump’s sense of style and fashion.
The outlet details how Melania Trump has clearly drawn inspiration from Jackie Kennedy in how she dresses, especially for important events.
Interestingly, prior to her marriage to President Donald Trump, Melania was asked how she would be as a first lady.
She indicated that Jackie Kennedy would certainly inspire her.
“I would be very traditional, like Betty Ford or Jackie Kennedy,” she told the New York Times in 2000 when Trump made his first official run at the White House.
The New York Times interviews Melania Knauss, 29-year-old Slovenian girlfriend of real estate mogul and 2000 Presidential candidate Donald Trump, to ask whether she thinks she would make a good First Lady.

The piece also noted that while Jackie Kennedy preferred pearls, Melania Trump prefers diamonds.
She has two massive ones gifted to her by her husband.
One for her engagement ring and another as a gift, both of them worth millions.
In 2020, former Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro said Melania was the “Jackie Kennedy of her time” during an MSNBC interview, according to The Hill.
The outlet noted:
“I think she’ll deliver a powerful message to the American people,” Navarro said of the first lady, who is set to speak on Tuesday night.
He likened her to the late Jackie Kennedy for her “beauty, the elegance, the soft-spokenness.”
Many of Melania Trump’s supporters have likened her to Jackie Kennedy, and politics aside, they’re totally fine with that.
Many believe there hasn’t been much in the way of grace and class in the White House since Melania was last there.
There’s no doubt that Melania Trump will bring all of that back to the White House in January.
