First lady Melania Trump to preview new film at White House screening
First lady Melania Trump will host a private White House screening on Saturday, Jan. 24, of a new film documenting her life in the 20 days leading up to President Donald Trump's second inauguration, an adviser said.
The movie, "Melania," is set for a global release on January 30. Saturday's showing will be the first time the president, her family and close friends see the film in full, according to Marc Beckman, the first lady's outside adviser and agent.
The film offers rare behind-the-scenes access to the first lady, who has kept a low public profile during her husband's second term.
The trailer opens on Inauguration Day in January 2025, showing her donning a navy wide-brimmed hat for the ceremony at the U.S. Capitol. It also depicts her role as an adviser to the president, including a moment in which she encourages him to emphasize "peacemaker and unifier" in his inaugural address.
Beckman, who produced the film, oversaw the $40 million movie deal with Amazon's MGM Studios, plus a follow-up documentary series set for release later this year focusing on some of Melania Trump's priorities, including children in foster care.
Melania Trump is back in office, accompanying her husband, President Donald Trump, during his second term in the White House as the 47th president of the United States. The first lady made many a fashion statement during Trump's first time in office, and she's continued to do that in 2025. Look back at her most noteworthy fashion moments of the year, including here at January's inauguration ceremony. The first lady donned a navy blue Adam Lippes coat and skirt with an ivory blouse, topped with a dramatic Eric Javits hat, during the festivities at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 20, 2025, in Washington, D.C.

Melania Trump is back in office, accompanying her husband, President Donald Trump, during his second term in the White House as the 47th president of the United States. The first lady made many a fashion statement during Trump's first time in office, and she's continued to do that in 2025. Look back at her most noteworthy fashion moments of the year, including here at January's inauguration ceremony. The first lady donned a navy blue Adam Lippes coat and skirt with an ivory blouse, topped with a dramatic Eric Javits hat, during the festivities at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 20, 2025, in Washington, D.C.
"This is not a political film at all," Beckman said in an interview, adding that the first lady spearheaded the film's creative direction.
The movie highlights her fashion choices, diplomatic engagements and the operations surrounding her Secret Service protection. Beckman said viewers also will see moments that capture the president's sense of humor.
Ahead of the public theatrical release of the film next week, the president and first lady will attend a premiere on Thursday, Jan. 29, at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, renamed the Trump-Kennedy Center by the Trump-appointed board of directors.
The first lady is also scheduled to ring the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday, Jan. 28 to promote the film, Beckman added.
