As Melania Trump took to the red carpet of her self-titled documentary's world premiere, critics couldn't help but slam the First Lady and her latest project.

It’s a first for a first lady

The Kennedy Center hosted the world premiere of "Melania" on Thursday, drawing a slate of political figures and media personalities to Washington, D.C. President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump led arrivals on the red carpet for the event,

“Are you getting in?” "No, are you?” On Thursday afternoon, in the lobby of the Trump Kennedy Center, reporters whispered in hushed voices to each other to see which journalists, if any, would be allowed entry to a screening of Melania Trump’s documentary “Melania.

"Melania" movie, Jan. 30, 2026, will be the debut project of the first lady’s new production company Muse Films. It will eventually stream on Amazon.

Amazon may have spent an outlandish amount of money on Melania, the documentary about first lady Melania Trump, but that hasn’t stopped the film from receiving harsh criticism both from industry insiders and the general public, who haven’t stopped laughing at the film that is predicted to be a history-making flop.

The documentary is expected to bring in $2 million to $5 million domestically this weekend.
