Stephanie Winston Wolkoff was once considered one of Melania Trump’s closest confidantes. A former fashion and event planner who helped organize the Trump inauguration, she developed a strong personal relationship with Melania during their years in New York. Stephanie wasn’t a celebrity or influencer but was deeply embedded in the world of fashion and high-profile events, working with Vogue and organizing the Met Gala for years.

However, their friendship eventually fell apart in a very public way. Wolkoff published a tell-all book in 2020 titled Melania and Me, revealing private conversations and claiming betrayal. Melania never directly responded in detail, maintaining her signature silence.

If you’re wondering whether Melania has another close friend today — someone still in her circle — the answer is: no prominent names have surfaced. She remains famously private, rarely photographed in casual settings or with a visible entourage. Unlike Michelle Obama or Jill Biden, who openly embrace friendships and public alliances, Melania’s world is deliberately closed off.

Her guarded nature adds to her mystique — and whether by design or preference, it leaves the public with more questions than answers.
