Usha Vance, the incoming Second Lady, made a striking appearance at the Vice President’s Dinner on January 18, 2025, in Washington, D.C. She wore a custom velvet gown by Oscar de la Renta, featuring asymmetric floral accents, to the intimate event. The dinner was held at the National Gallery of Art, just days before the inauguration of former President Donald Trump.
Elegant Look for Usha Vance
Usha kept her accessories minimal, choosing stud earrings over a necklace, and styled her hair in an elegant updo to complement the sweetheart neckline of her gown. Her look perfectly matched her husband, Vice President-elect JD Vance, who donned a black tuxedo and bow tie. The couple walked hand-in-hand through the venue, exuding sophistication.
