Naturally, all eyes were on the Ohio State Buckeyes when they traveled to the White House to celebrate winning the college football championship, but Usha Vance’s attire was the main topic of discussion on the internet.

Her attire has been criticized on occasion as the wife of Vice President JD Vance, and this occasion was no different.

Since Ohio State is JD’s alma mater, the event had particular significance for the Vances. Usha posted a rotating collection of images from the celebration on Instagram on April 16. In one photo, she was holding a red No. 2 Buckeyes jersey with pride, while her husband was holding a white No. 50 jersey that had been personalized for the second couple.

A Red and White Outfit — With a Shoddy Shoe Choice

Usha wore a bright red dress with a medium-length hemline and a white blazer that was loosely rolled up at the sleeves to embrace the school’s color scheme. The choice of shoes caused some people to take notice, even though the color-coordinated ensemble might have been appropriate for a college tailgate or campus event.

Usha chose white low-top athletic shoes with yellow soles over elegant dressy sneakers or even formal heels. The shoes seemed out of place for a formal White House ceremony, even though they were obviously meant to have a sporty, energetic feel.
