American power: what does her official portrait reveal about Melania 2.0?

First lady's corporate black-and-white shoot is reminiscent of The Apprentice or House of Cards

At first glance, the official portrait of the returning Flotus - soft power stance, crisp, unbuttoned Dolce & Gabbana tux, the Washington monument soaring behind her - scans so neatly with the returning administration that you'd be hard pushed to find any clues as to who Melania 2.0 is.

After all, she wore a Dolce & Gabbana jacket for the same shot in 2017. The only real change this time is that she swapped the necktie for a black Ralph Lauren cummerbund, as if to sprinkle a little alpha patriotism into an otherwise blankly corporate get-up.
