Young female advisor Hope Hicks is accompanying Mr. Donald Trump on his trip to Asia, including Vietnam.
 |
Hope Hicks was born on October 21, 1988, in Greenwich, Connecticut. She graduated from Southern Methodist University in 2010 and is currently the communications director for Mr. Trump. Hicks and her sister, Mary Grace, were successful teen models. She appeared on the cover of the American young adult novel series "Gossip Girl." |
 |
Hicks first met the Trumps in 2012 when she worked for the public relations firm Hiltzik Strategies, which partnered with Ivanka Trump's fashion line. Trump's eldest daughter then hired Hicks and she gradually became a member of the Trump Organization. Hicks later became Trump's campaign press secretary and transition team. She played a major role in the billionaire's victory in last year's presidential election and was officially appointed White House Communications Director at the age of 28. |

Originally a teenage model, Hicks, although rarely appearing in public, still impresses with her feminine and elegant fashion style. She once shared: "Dresses are the easiest outfit choice for me. I don't have to think about how to combine clothes. I just pick a dress and I can go out." |
 |
The 29-year-old communications director has no political experience but comes from a family with political roots. Her grandparents were both in communications, and her father was vice president of communications and public relations. |
 |
Hicks is elegant, discreet but no less charming when choosing dark clothes next to Kellyanne Conway, senior advisor to Donald Trump. She often carries a black leather bag. |
 |
Maggie Haberman, a political reporter for the New York Times, praised Hicks as someone who can handle a lot of work, especially when the workload is large. |
 |
Hicks is currently unmarried and the media has no information on whether she has a boyfriend or not. Despite being a communications director, Hicks never appears on television and often refuses interviews. She also does not use Twitter, even though the US President regularly posts his opinions on this social network. |
 |
Currently, Hicks accompanies Mr. Trump on a trip to Asia from November 3-14 through 5 countries: Japan, South Korea, China, Vietnam and the Philippines. At the state banquet for Mr. Trump in Tokyo, Japan, on November 6, she surprised everyone by choosing a masculine style with a white shirt tied at the neck and a black vest to attend the party. However, her long, loose hair and carefully made-up face still made her look sexy. |
 |
On November 12, during the press conference between President Donald Trump and Vietnamese President Tran Dai Quang at the Presidential Palace, Hicks returned to her feminine style by wearing a fishtail floral dress with puffed sleeves, black glasses and black high heels. |
 |
She completed her outfit with an Ivanka Trump handbag. The beautiful young communications director also styled her hair to accentuate her femininity. |
 |
Earlier this year, Hicks' name appeared on Forbes magazine's list of the world's most successful people under 30. |
