January 30, 2026
In her new self-titled documentary, first lady Melania Trump offers a peek behind the scenes during the 20 days before she returned to the White House. The first lady is known as a fierce guardian of her privacy. But she had film crews follow her around in Palm Beach, New York City and Washington as she worked through the tiniest details of inauguration planning, including her suit and gown. The film shows her worries about safety on Inauguration Day after her husband, President Donald Trump, survived an assassination attempt during his campaign. AmazonMGM Studios paid a reported $40 million for the rights to the film, which opened in theaters Friday.
