Why Hasn't Melania Trump Graced Any Magazine Covers Since Becoming First Lady?
BY JANICE WILLIAMS ON 4/10/18 AT 9:40 AM EDT

Melania Trump has experience as a working model, so how come she hasn't been featured on the cover of any fashion magazines since her husband came into office?

It's a question actor James Woods raised on Twitter on Saturday, which has since sparked a huge debate. "If the Trumps were Democrats, Melania would be on every cover of every chic women's magazine in the world every month," he wrote, along with an old photo of Melania Trump sitting in a blue strapless dress.

A wave of people seemed to agree with Woods' sentiments, noting that U.S. magazines have apparently become politically biased, favoring the left over the right, while others compared Melania Trump's lack of magazine covers to the several features former first lady Michelle Obama received while her husband, former President Barack Obama, was in office from 2009 to 2017.

During Barack Obama's eight-year tenure, Michelle Obama graced a total of 12 magazine covers. In addition to appearing on the cover of famous fashion mag Vogue three times, she's also advocated national interest issues in two Essence magazine features, twice for Time magazine and Glamour magazine, and once for Redbook, Instyle and Radar.

It's a flagrant a snub Vogue hasn't had Melania grace a cover by now. Fashion is not a conservative or liberal market. Photographers & designers love her.

Vogue can see Melania is popular throughout the world. Missing out on a record selling magazine is foolish.

Melania doesn’t care that she isn’t on magazine covers. That’s her real beauty. Michelle, on the other hand.....
