Why Melania's smile disappeared

It’s the clip that’s gone viral around the world, but now we may finally have the answer as to why Melania Trump's smile went upside down during last week's Presidential Inauguration.

The 46-year-old had beamed at her husband Donald Trump when he turned around in the clip, but as soon as his back was facing her, she became as stony-faced as ever!

Fans have taken to social media to speculate the reasoning behind the First Lady's sudden mood swing, and it looks like Trump's daughter Ivanka may have a lot to do with it.

After rewatching the video several times in slow motion, some viewers claim that Trump is not even looking at his wife when he turns around, but is in fact addressing his 35-year-old daughter Ivanka. Awkward!

That would explain it!

In fact, if you direct your attention back to Melania after that point, you'll notice she's giving her stepdaughter some serious side-eye.

A closer look suggests Trump was actually addressing his stepdaughter Ivanka instead of wife Melania.

This comes after it's already been speculated by some that Ivanka will overshadow Melania going forward, as the "real" US First Lady.

The hashtag #freemelania has been trending, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see #InvisibleMelania follow suit.
