The White House unveiled the official First Lady portrait under the new presidency on April 3, where Melania Trump showed off her classy, signature look. However, even though the media coverage of the event was quite neutral, there were some social media buffs who pointed out that there was something fishy going when it comes to the backdrop of the portrait.

The portrait displayed a glamorous Melania Trump standing with her hands crossed in front of her chest as she stared intently forward,  New York Post reports. In the portrait she has a hint of warm smile playing on her lips, her eyes are lined with kohl and her long blond hair sweeps away from her face, which has been her go-to look for almost every major event that she has been a part of, both during Donald Trump's presidential campaign and post-election win.

It also came as no surprise that the mother of Barron Trump, who has spent years in the modeling industry, was completely poised and clad in fashion statement-worthy clothing. Melania Trump wore a jet black formal blazer and a neck scarf, with minimal jewelry lining her lean frame.

But amidst praises of her flawless style and signature look, some Twitter users have pointed out that the backdrop of the portrait looks eerily similar to the cartoon, "Muppet Babies," Elite Daily reports. "Anyone know why Melania Trump's portrait was taken in front of the Muppet Babies Window? [sic]" wrote one user, while another wrote, "THERE ARE MUPPET BABIES IN THE WHITE HOUSE?!"

The famous cartoon from the 1990's often had the group of baby muppets assembling in front of azure blue windows with white ornamental frames. The windows in the portrait, behind Melania Trump, actually belong to the West Wing of the White House. However, anti-Trump activists have taken upon themselves to make fun of Donald Trump's wife by calling her the nanny from "Muppet Babies."

However, Melania Trump is unfazed by any controversy or trolling that might be going on the social media. "I am honored to serve in the role of the first lady, and look forward to working on behalf of the American people over the coming years," said Melania in a statement on the official White House website.
