Former President Donald Trump's youngest son began attending New York University's Stern School of Business last month, with the Daily Mail reporting that he has received both affection and hostility from fellow students.

Yet while Barron Trump may share his famous father's name, one publication recently observed that he bears a striking resemblance to his mother in her early years.

Photos show former first lady when she was 16 years old

The fact was pointed out in an article published by The Mirror this past weekend, which pointed to photographs that were first publicized by "The Today Show" seven years ago.

Those pictures were taken by Slovenian photographer Stane Jerko when former First Lady Melania Trump was 16 years old.

"It was January 1987 when I went home just before the end of the fashion show," Jerko was quoted as telling "The Today Show" in an email.

"On the stairs of the Festival Hall, I saw a girl that immediately caught my eye. There stood a tall, slender and attractive long-haired girl with distinct eyes," he said of Mrs. Trump, who was then known as Melania Knauss.

Donald Trump says his son "looks more like Melania"

The Mirror noted that Barron sports "distinguished brown locks and heavy brows" which stand in sharp contrast with "the light and airy hairstyle" of his father.

The former president acknowledged that his youngest son more closely resembles Mrs. Trump, telling The Palm Beach Post in 2006, "He looks more like Melania. He's like her in temperament. Very calm."

Meanwhile, the former first lady made headlines earlier this month when she announced the release of a new book titled which is simply titled "Melania."

"As a private person who has often been the subject of public scrutiny and misrepresentation. I feel a responsibility to clarify the facts," Mrs. Trump explained in a video posted to social media.

The former first lady pledged that she will deliver "the truth," stating, "I believe it is important to share my perspective."

The book will covers a number of topics, including the FBI's raid on Mrs. Trump's home at her husband's Mar-a-Lago resort two years ago.

The former first lady lamented in her video that she "never imagined my privacy would be invaded by the government here in America."
