She is about to become America's first lady, following her husband Donald Trump's presidential victory in the US election, but how much do we know about Melania Trump? Here are some introductory facts and figures about the woman stepping into Michelle Obama's shoes.
Meet The First Lady
_
Melania is the second first lady to be born outside the United States (the first being Louisa Adams, wife of John Quincy, who was president from 1825 to 1829), and the third first lady to have worked as a model (in addition to Betty Ford and Pat Nixon). Prior to the election, she said that she imagined her role as first lady to be “very traditional… like Jackie Kennedy or Betty Ford”, and recently pledged to spend her time at the White House focusing on anti-bullying campaigns.

Trump Trivia -
She starred in Zoolander in 2001, playing herself alongside her husband at the VH1 Fashion Awards; she launched a jewellery line with QVC in February 2010 which sold out in 45 minutes; her favourite television program is How to Get Away With Murder; she has served as a goodwill ambassador to the American Red Cross; she is said to be notoriously house proud; ironically, she appeared in a TV advert in 1993 for a Slovenian fashion label that cast her as the first female president of the USA driving Air Force One, doing her make-up in the presidential cavalcade, and signing a pro-immigration document.
