Melinda Gates posed like a ‘supermodel’ while enjoying a girls getaway to London with her daughter, Phoebe.
The Microsoft general manager jetted off to the English city with her and her ex-husband Bill Gates’ youngest daughter, 19, and it appeared as though the mother-daughter-duo had some fun modeling during the trip.
Phoebe shared a glimpse into their vacation in a video shared to her Instagram on Monday, which showed her mom, 57, striking various hip poses while touring the British capital.
‘Mom: let’s take some photos. OK supermodel,’ she wrote in the beginning of the clip, before a montage of pictures of Melinda flashed across the screen.

Phoebe shared a glimpse into their vacation in a video shared to her Instagram on Monday, which showed her mom, 57, striking various hip poses. Phoebe is seen on the trip
One showed the computer scientist standing in the popular restaurant Sketch with a big smile on her face, while donning a pink, striped top with a ruffled collar and puffy sleeves. She paired the look with white pants.
Another snap featured her standing with her hand on her hip in front of a white building. Other photos saw her kicking her leg up and leaning against the pretty architecture.
‘My momma sure knows best,’ Phoebe captioned the post.
Bill and Melinda tied the knot in 1994 and were together for 27 years before they announced that they were getting a divorce in May 2021. They welcomed three children over the years, including Phoebe, Jennifer, 25, and Rory, 23.
The mother-daughter trip comes just weeks after Phoebe was subjected to a slew of racist abuse from trolls who criticized her for allegedly dating a black man.
The University of Stanford student appeared to confirm that she was in a relationship with the mystery man last month, when she shared a few photos of herself cozying up to him on Instagram.
However, dozens of people left nasty comments on the pictures, with some slamming her for being in a relationship with a person of color and others accusing him of using her for her money.

‘Bill about to smash a vase against the wall,’ one person commented.
‘Bro become a millionaire in a matter of seconds,’ another added.
Someone else said: ‘Now we know why Bill Gates been tellin’ his kids they ain’t gon’ inherit s**t,’ referring to Bill’s previous revelation that he will not leave the majority of his wealth to his children.
The Microsoft billionaire – who is one of the richest men in the world with an estimated net worth of $123.7 billion – announced at a TED conference in Canada in 2014 that he will instead leave most of his fortune to his family’s foundation.
However, that didn’t stopped social media users from making sordid suggestions about Phoebe’s rumored new romance – with several urging the unnamed suitor to ‘get her pregnant,’ and others joking that he ‘secured the bag.’
One person tweeted: ‘Her net worth is projected [to be] $130 Billion. I don’t think he is her equal or they are doing 50/50. Just my guess [though].’
Another chimed in: ‘Phoebe Gates has a black boyfriend, young brotha do not pull out … BE GREAT.’
‘When Phoebe Gates’ boyfriend gets added to the joint checking account,’ one person added, while sharing a video of a black man doing a celebratory dance.

Someone else tweeted a video of a black man waving a gun around while swerving his car across a road, writing: ‘Phoebe Gates and her boyfriend pulling up to Bill Gates’ house for Thanksgiving.’
Meanwhile Melinda has been pursuing a number of new projects since splitting from Bill in May 2021 after 27 years of marriage, most recently announcing a partnership with the Women’s Tennis Association.
Melinda – who is understood to been awarded close to half of her ex-husband’s estimated $130 billion fortune in their divorce settlement when it was finalized in August of last year – announced the project at this year’s Wimbledon, where she took part in a press conference to share details of the collaboration between the WTA and her and Bill’s foundation.
The collaboration will see the two organizations working together to raise awareness about women’s health and nutrition around the world, while also promoting gender equality and female leadership.
However the mother-of-three has also been making strides in her personal life, revealing in March that she had ‘dipped her toe’ into the dating world and that she ‘definitely’ wanted to find love again in the future.
‘You know, I’m dipping my toe in that water a little bit,’ Melinda said of her love life during an interview with CBS Mornings.
‘I feel like, I’m in a really good place. And I’m really, really excited about my life and about the world—the work ahead.’
