‘Not Melania’: Donald Trump’s Wife Sparks ‘Body Double’ Discussion After Her Recent Appearance Alongside Him

Melania Trump’s recent public appearance in Texas alongside Donald Trump has sparked online speculation about her identity. Many social media users questioned if the woman seen with the former president was actually Melania, due to noticeable differences in her appearance.

The couple visited Kerrville and San Antonio on July 11, 2025, to meet with officials and victims of devastating flash floods. Melania wore a military-style jacket, sunglasses, and a black cap that partly obscured her face, prompting even more suspicion online.

Despite the visit’s serious purpose, the public’s focus shifted to Melania’s look. Some commenters insisted she looked too different — especially her lighter hair — suggesting she might be a body double. Comments on platforms like X and Facebook echoed this disbelief.

This isn’t the first time their public dynamic raised eyebrows. At the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary parade on June 14, a body language expert noted subtle tension between the couple, observing Melania’s stiffness and minimal engagement.

Still, Melania appeared more relaxed around her husband at the parade, even holding his hand briefly and sharing light moments. A lip-reading expert caught her praising the troops, while Trump jokingly responded, revealing a warmer interaction.

The contrast between Trump’s casual posture and Melania’s polished cream suit was also noted. Trump kept a distance from the military aesthetic, perhaps to emphasize his civilian leadership role.

Despite the speculation, the couple participated fully in both events, with Trump emphasizing military pride and Melania offering support, albeit under renewed public scrutiny.
