Melania Trump named among 'World's Most Admired' women

Former US First Lady Melania Trump remains one of the world's most admired women.

That's according to a YouGov poll released this week that names Melania, 51, as 16th on a list of World's Most Admired women.

Melania has kept a relatively low profile since husband Donald Trump lost the presidential election to Joe Biden in 2020.

Her most recent public appearance was two weeks ago when she visited the charity 4KIDS, which helps children who are in need of support.

There is also speculation Trump, 75, plans to re-enter the presidential race in 2024.

The Obamas have dominated YouGov's lists this year, with Michelle Obama, 57, and Barack Obama taking out top position on the women's and men's World's Most Admired lists respectively, making them the ultimate power couple.

Actor and humanitarian Angelina Jolie, 46, comes in second, followed by Queen Elizabeth II, 95, in third place.

Her Majesty has a big year ahead in 2022, marking 70 years on the British throne with her Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

TV mogul Oprah Winfrey — who has been working closely with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex on various projects, including a sit down interview and mental health docuseries The Me You Can't See — is fourth on the list.

Next up is Scarlett Johansson, who has a big year with the release of her movie Black Widow and a subsequent legal win against Disney after the company released the movie straight to streaming services, depriving the actor of a percentage of box office takings.

YouGov surveyed more than 42,000 people in 38 countries to come up with the list.

They were asked two questions:

1. Who do you truly admire?

2. Who do you MOST admire?

Emma Watson was named sixth on the list, followed by Taylor Swift, who released the rerecorded version of her epic breakup album Red last month.

Former Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel, came in at number eight on the list, followed by Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai, who recently married Asser Malik.

Actress Priyanka Chopra came in at 10th position, followed by newcomer to the list, US Vice-President Kamala Harris, at 11.

Rounding out the list is Hillary Clinton at 12, Greta Thumberg at 15 and New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern took out the final spot at 20.
