Barron has grown into a striking young man. The youngest child of Donald and Melania Trump, who was just 10 years old when his father first took office in 2017, is now an 18-year-old. He turned heads on Inauguration Day 2025, looking sharp and confident in a tailored blue suit with an American flag lapel pin.

His transformation over the years is undeniable. Barron’s hair, now slicked back, presents a polished contrast to the middle-parted, combed-up style he sported in 2017. His face and aura reflect growth and maturity, with his head held high, exuding confidence. The suit added to his sophisticated appearance by perfectly complementing his poised demeanor.
Fans couldn’t hold back their reactions to his stunning public appearance. One fan marveled, “Wow identical to his dad .” Another echoed, “He looks so much like his father.” Several others couldn’t help but emphasize the resemblance, “He looks exactly like his dad,” and another pointed out, “Dad’s old hairstyle.

Barron received many college offers and took his time to make a decision. He considered studying at Pennsylvania University’s Wharton School like his father did but ended up choosing NYU. “He’s a very smart guy, and he’ll be going to Stern, the business school, which is a great school at NYU,” a proud Donald said.
