Recent conspiracy theories claimed Melania Trump used a body double on Election Day due to her altered appearance, but experts suggest cosmetic procedures, not a double, may be responsible.
Melania previously denied any procedures, stating in 2016, “I didn’t make any changes… I’m against Botox, I’m against injections… it’s all me.” However, her large sunglasses indoors on Election Day stirred online speculation. Social media users theorized she might be hiding recent cosmetic work, or even using a double, with #FakeMelania trending. “Why is Trump using a… #FakeMelania stand-in with gigantic shades?” one user tweeted, while another joked, “They brought back #FakeMelania for the series finale!”
Plastic surgeon Dr. Dennis Schimpf believes Melania “likely had additional filler work” to enhance her appearance. Other specialists agree, with Dr. Thomas Barnes noting that election-related stress could account for any tired look.
Dr. Gary Motykie saw no signs of a facelift but noticed “a change in her nose” and suspected fillers. “She’s likely doing the maintenance work… fillers, Botox,” he explained.
Reactions were mixed. While some applauded her beauty, others critiqued her evolving look. “She was once very attractive. But… she looks like every other plastic face in America,” wrote one commenter.
