In an interview with [_The Wall Street Journal_](https://www.wsj.com/articles/anna-wintour-on-fashion-politics-and-vogue-1486638002) on Thursday, Wintour pointed to the magazine’s past coverage of first ladies, indicating that Trump will be shown the same courtesy as her predecessors. “We have a tradition of always covering whoever is the first lady at _Vogue_ and I can’t imagine that this time would be any different,” Wintour said. Trump has already prominently appeared in _Vogue_, [appearing on the cover](https://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/01/fashion/melania-trump-the-silent-partner.html) in her wedding dress in 2005, tied to her marriage to Donald Trump. Wintour also addressed how the fashion industry will be affected by the current political climate, an especially relevant concern, [given how many fashion designers have been vocal about whether or not they would dress the first lady](http://time.com/4586426/every-fashion-designer-whos-on-dressing-melania-trump-as-first-lady/). “\[They will\] be inspired by what they see and that will come out in their work, ” she said. “The next few years are going to be incredibly creative.” ## Transcript [ MUSIC ] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4665805/anna-wintour-melania-trump-vogue/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4665805/anna-wintour-melania-trump-vogue/"},"headline":"Anna Wintour Addresses How Vogue Will Cover Melania Trump","datePublished":"2017-02-09T19:37:21.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:47:36.051Z","description":"Anna Wintour speaks out on how Vogue will cover Melania Trump as first lady; Wintour was a supporter of Hillary Cinton during the election.","url":"https://time.com/4665805/anna-wintour-melania-trump-vogue/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","fashion","celebrity","Culture","Melania Trump"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7fcbc501173b8f6a/6988b2f7fb4eacc327890328/anna-wintour-donald-trump-meeting.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7fcbc501173b8f6a/6988b2f7fb4eacc327890328/anna-wintour-donald-trump-meeting.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"2016 God's Love We Deliver Golden Heart Awards Dinner","caption":"2016 God's Love We Deliver Golden Heart Awards Dinner","creditText":"Andrew Toth—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4665805/anna-wintour-melania-trump-vogue/","name":"Anna Wintour Addresses How Vogue Will Cover Melania Trump"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Melania Trump Hoping to Profit From Her Time in the Public Eye, Court Documents Show","description":"Her lawyers say that the \"multi-year term\" during which she \"is one of the most photographed women in the world\" could mean millions of dollars for her personal brand","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/jlHYZyve/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2017-02-08T15:34:35.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/jlHYZyve.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4665805/anna-wintour-melania-trump-vogue/","duration":"PT1M11S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4665805/anna-wintour-melania-trump-vogue/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
