Another photo of Kellyanne Conway has gone viral after an eagle-eyed Twitter user noticed a strange picture hidden in plain sight in her home.

Conway was being interviewed by a New Jersey journalist in her Alpine home when a photographer snapped a shot of her playing with her daughter Charlotte's hair.

But it is the framed image of her sporting a cloak with curled hair looking off into the distance that caused social media to go into a meltdown.

While it was originally believed that the coat was made of velvet, it's been revealed that it is in fact sheared beaver fur and fox trim.

The picture is perched on a nightstand in front of a white lamp and a retro figurine of a woman kissing a man's cheek.

It caused Twitter users to speculate: Why is Kellyanne wearing a cape?

Kellyanne Conway, pictured playing with her daughter Charlotte's hair, was interviewed in her Alpine, New Jersey home. She discussed surveillance and other matters but what intrigued Twitter was a photo of her wearing a cloak

The framed image of her sporting a cloak with curled hair looking off into the distance caused social media to go into a meltdown

Tweeter Franklin Leonard noticed the framed picture and simply captioned it 'Um...' Tweeters were left to ponder why Conway was wearing a cape

There she goes again: Though out of focus, the nightstand photo is prominent in this other photo in which Conway is seen talking to her daughter Claudia

Conway spoke with Bergen County Record columnist Mike Kelly while photographer Anne-Marie Caruso took photos of her and her daughters in her home, which lies in the affluent New York City suburb, Alpine

Conway sits with her daughters Charlotte, Vanessa and Claudia. She also has a son named George. During the interview, Conway discussed surveillance methods, which follows Donald Trump's allegation that Barack Obama wiretapped him

Eagle-eyed tweeter Franklin Leonard noticed the photo and tweeted it out with the caption: 'Um...'

His observation has been favorited thousands of times.

Conway has three daughters named Charlotte, Vanessa and Claudia. All are pictured in the photo though Vanessa has her head burrowed away from the camera.

The photo evokes the now-infamous shot of Conway kneeling on a couch and taking photos of Trump while he was meeting with leaders of historically black colleges and universities.

Tweeter Killer Muses took a political stab at Conway by disparagingly comparing her - and the Republican Party's proposed Obamacare replacement - to Kim Basinger's flawed but well-meaning LA Confidential character, Obamacare's stand-in

Meanwhile, Dvora Koelling seemed to think it was a sign that Conway was actually the 'Mockingjay,' much like Katniss Everdeen. Sean Spicer last week had his American flag pin turned upside-down - often interpreted as an SOS or protest sign

Preeti Chhibber compared Kellyanne's look to Sarah Jessica Parker's look in 'Hocus Pocus.' Parker played Sarah Sanderson, a witch who tried to steal the souls of children

Brian seemed to suggest that Conway might experience a dark transformation soon, much like Anakin Skywalker's becoming Darth Vader in the Star Wars films. Pictured: Hayden Christensen as Anakin

Martin Morrow, meanwhile, compared Conway to a cartoon grim reaper figure, seeming to suggest death and destruction

The counselor to the president said there was not much room to stand and she wanted to get the right angle of the leaders of historically black colleges and universities.

She said she meant 'no disrespect' and was just trying to capture the moment.

Congressman Cedric Richmond, a Democrat, attracted controversy when he said the pose made her look 'kind of familiar.'

Conway holds one cell phone to one hear and another one in her hand as daughter Charlotte stares off into the distance. She said in the interview that 'microwaves that turn into cameras' are 'a fact of modern life' but did not offer evidence of this

Conway plays with her daughters during the interview in which she also compared Trump's call to investigate Obama - and the widespread dismissal of his claim - to calls from Democrats for Trump to be investigated over ties to Russia

Conway said: 'The investigation is about a bunch of people who can't believe that Hillary Clinton lost the election.' She added that she talked to people in Michigan, not Moscow, perhaps a jab at Clinton losing Michigan to Trump by about 11,000 votes

Conway stated that the Russia 'conspiracy' is a 'waste of people's oxygen and air and resources and time'

During her interview with Bergen County Record columnist Mike Kelly, she discussed surveillance methods, which follows Donald Trump's allegation that Barack Obama wiretapped him during the election.

She told the Record: 'What I can say is there are many ways to surveil each other.'

She added: 'You can surveil someone through their phones, certainly through their television sets,' and said that there are 'microwaves that turn into cameras.'

She insisted that 'this is a fact of modern life' and did not offer any evidence of her claims.

She later told Good Morning America that she was not saying she had any evidence for her allegations.

The cloak picture evoked the other photo gaffe in which Conway found herself embroiled. Conway was seen informally kneeling on a couch while taking photos of Trump meeting with presidents of historically black colleges

Caruso took many shots of Conway in her Alpine, New Jersey home. Alpine is an affluent suburb near Manhattan and Conway and her husband belong to a country club where a membership costs up to $75,000

She also compared Trump's call to investigate Obama - and the widespread dismissal of his claim - to calls from Democrats for Trump to be investigated over ties to Russia.

She said: 'The investigation is about a bunch of people who can't believe that Hillary Clinton lost the election.'

She added: 'I talked to people in Macomb County, Michigan, not in Moscow.'

This might have been a jab at Hillary Clinton losing Michigan, which had not gone to a Republican candidate since 1998, by a slim margin of 11,000 votes. Trump received 2,279,543 votes compared to Clinton's 2,268,839.

She concluded that the Russia 'conspiracy' is a 'waste of people's oxygen and air and resources and time.'

Alpine, where Conway lives, is an affluent New York City suburb situated less than 20 miles from Times Square in Manhattan.

Her and her husband are members of exclusive golf club 'Alpine Country Club,' where memberships can cost up to $75,000 plus an additional $25,000 in dues.
