JD Vance’s Wife Usha Steals the Spotlight at White House—But Not for the Reason You’d Expect

When the Ohio State Buckeyes visited the White House to celebrate their national championship win, all eyes were supposed to be on the team. Instead, it was Usha Vance—wife of Vice President JD Vance—who captured unexpected attention.

JD, an Ohio State alum himself, proudly stood alongside Usha as they posed with personalized Buckeyes jerseys. Usha shared highlights of the event on Instagram on April 16, but it wasn’t long before online chatter shifted to her outfit.

Sporting a red dress and crisp white blazer—a tasteful nod to the team’s colors—Usha completed her look with white sneakers that featured bright yellow soles. While many praised her for blending style with comfort, some critics felt the casual shoes clashed with the formality of the setting and suggested a sleeker option might’ve better suited the occasion.

Still, fashion wasn’t the only unexpected moment of the day. During the ceremony, the College Football Playoff trophy unexpectedly broke apart while being presented to JD Vance. He laughed off the mishap on social media, making light of the awkward but memorable moment.

In the end, the visit made headlines for reasons far beyond the football team’s victory—thanks to a surprise wardrobe debate and a trophy that couldn’t keep it together.
