Is Melania Trump’s official First Lady portrait the photoshop fail of 2017?

The White House has today released the official portrait of First Lady Melania Trump – and, not surprisingly, the Internet has a few thoughts on it.

President Donald Trump’s wife is pictured in the White House’s private residence, looking gorgeous in a sharp black blazer. Her makeup is on-point, her mani is pristine and, of course, her huge 15-carat ring is on full display. Overall, not a bad photo.

But what people have a problem with is that she looks a little too flawless. Critics are complaining that Melania doesn’t even look real, such is the heavy-handed airbrushing.
