Barron Trump revealed to have changed his hairstyle in photos of him on NYU's campus

At President Donald Trump's inauguration in January, his youngest son Barron was seen sporting the same slicked-back hairstyle favored by his older brothers, Don Jr. and Eric, which in turn is an homage to how their famous father used to style his hair in his younger years.

That has changed three months later, as Barron was spotted with a new "shaggier" look while attending classes at New York University's Stern School of Business, according to the Daily Mail.

The outlet further suggested that, in addition to growing his hair out for a more "relaxed" look, the 19-year-old college student also appears to have gained more weight to help fill out his 6'7" frame.

Barron's new look

The Daily Mail recently obtained exclusive photos from a photographer who snapped Barron Trump as he moved about NYU's campus, always with a U.S. Secret Service agent from his personal protective detail just steps away.

The photos revealed that Barron has seemingly ditched the "gel-slicked locks" look that was once favored by his presidential father and is still employed by his older brothers.

The pictures also showed that his rather thin and lanky body appeared to be "thickening out a little," whether simply because of the maturation process or over-indulgence.

How is Barron fitting in on campus?

The Daily Mail report suggested that Barron Trump's presence on NYU's campus has received mixed reviews, in that some people don't mind him being there while others strenuously object, likely over partisan differences with his father, with most others not particularly caring one way or the other.

Some sources have claimed that Barron is fitting in well with other students and has become quite "popular" and a "ladies man," while others have said that he tends to be "isolated" and largely keeps to himself, preferring to play video games rather than socialize.

Commenting to the media about Barron's time on NYU's campus has led to trouble for at least one previously prominent student leader, such as Kaya Walker, the now-former president of the NYU College Republicans group.

According to The Independent, Walker said of the president's son in a February interview, "He’s sort of like an oddity on campus," and observed, "He goes to class, he goes home."

NYU College Republicans president forced to resign over "misconstrued" remark about Barron

People magazine reported that in the immediate aftermath of Walker's comments, she was forced by the New York Federation of College Republicans to resign her position amid an outcry over her "ridiculously misconstrued" remarks about Barron Trump's comings and goings from campus.

She insisted that a more fulsome statement she'd made, which hadn't been published, had not been critical of his "commuter status" but rather showed her "disappointment in the spectacle that the media and individuals on campus have created through the online circulation of gossip, articles, memes and even photos taken of Barron in class with no respect whatsoever for his privacy."

Walker further clarified that her description of Barron as an "oddity" was a reference to the "unhealthy fascination that people have with a teenager just minding his business by going to college."

She added that while she would "not apologize for trying to denounce the campus hysteria," she would like to "apologize to everyone that I love and respect that was caught in the crosshairs of this willful and malicious misreading of my comment."
