First Lady Melania Trump did a wonderful job during her first time in the White House, but this time, things are going to be different.

According to Fox News, the first lady's "soft power" will be on full display as she tackles a second term in the White House with President Donald Trump. 

Hello! magazine, official photographer Régine Mahaux, who snapped the first lady's official White House portrait, said Melania Trump has "always been hands-on, but she’s more free nowadays to make a statement."

Melania Trump generated mountains of praise for her role in her husband's White House, and is expected to be a force for the next four years, going even deeper in her initiatives.

What's going on?

Melania Trump has obviously always exuded confidence, but according to Mahaux, "She’s a different person than she was eight years ago and [yet] has always been true to herself.

Fox News added:

Melania Trump, said Mahaux and others, has "grown in confidence and stepped into her second term as first lady with newfound authority," reported the magazine, which covers celebrity, royal and socialite news.

They added, "There is something in her — the strong woman — but at the same time, there is the soft power."

"She's really good at balancing her husband. He's happy to make her happy and that's something very cute," Mahaux said.

Many believe that "soft power" was perfectly depicted in her jaw-dropping White House portrait.

"I know the process"

In a recent interview with Fox News, Melania Trump said this time around she and her husband feel a lot more at home in the White House. "I know the rooms where we will be living. I know the process," she told "Fox & Friends."

"The first time was challenging... We didn't have much of the information." She added, "But this time, I have everything. I have plans … So, it's very different."

The first lady has been widely praised by Trump's supporters, and many believe she is one of the best and classiest first lady's in American history.

Melania will reportedly "double down" on causes that are important to her, and will do that with a "renewed sense of purpose."
