Striking differences

Melania Trump, now 49, is considered a cold, natural beauty. But, in her late teens, the young supermodel did a photoshoot in which she looked nothing like the woman we all know as the First Lady today. It's hard to believe that this brunette with long, wavy hair, playful eyes and a subtle smile is Donald Trump's wife.

In Germany, Internet users had a lot to say about these pictures. Many people have always wondered if she's undergone any cosmetic surgery procedures. But the forty-year-old has always denied the rumours.

'I didn't make any changes to my body'

In an interview she gave to GQ , the POTUS's wife said she "didn't make any changes" to her body. She credits her beauty to a healthy lifestyle.

I live a healthy life, I take care of my skin and my body. I am against Botox. I'm against injections; I think it's damaging your face, damaging your nerves.

In an attempt to shut down the rumours she went on tell GQ:

It's all me. I will age gracefully, as my mom does.
