That sweater is horrible on her whether it’s brand new or worn out. These people have money - why do the Vance’s look like they haven’t bought clothes on 10 years? |
They desperately need a stylist. If they have one, they desperately need to fire them and find a new one. But a stylist can only do so much. My mom has really fixed ideas of how she likes to do her hair and what cuts of clothing look good on her. Over the years my sister and I have taken her for so many makeovers and personal shopping appointments, and she ends up back with the same unflattering look. Sometimes people just like things that are unflattering...but part of SLOTUS is looking the part, so it seems like Usha should take this on as a job responsibility. Then again, Karen Pence had some awful looks as well. |
I’m assuming a staffer purchased them for this trip. They’re ugly. It’s perfect climate for a Canada Goose jacket. Why not get those? |
I think it’s pretty clear someone made an affirmative decision to cosplay military so they had to get olive drab coats and wear them with a dirt tan sweater. It’s clearly intentional — the only question is whether the goal was to kiss up to the military (we’re just like you!) or to intimidate the Greenlanders (like those dictators who always wear military uniforms to show how tough they are). Why Usha is playing along with this asinine sh$t is really an interesting question. I mean, clearly she’s all in on the con at this point, but she’s also smart enough to know how utterly stupid it is. Remember that old Suri Cruise paradox blog? Someone should start one for Usha. “Dear Gentle Reader, Today Dear Hubby and I left on our working vacation to Greenland…..” |
This is the most interesting question of this era. Why are so many seemingly intelligent people going along with all of this? We can’t know, we can only speculate. I personally think it is a combination of hubris, sunken cost fallacy, and a drive to be at the top. These people think they have this thing in the bag. They won the election despite Trump being a demented old fool, and they are going all the way on destroying all of the institutions and relationships that defined America. They want to create a new order that they control, and they think controlling it will be great (for them). They can’t see how it could fall apart. I can’t either, the opposition is so ineffective. It’s baffling to the rest of us because the old order was working fabulously for them. JD Vance’s grift worked- he was a best selling author and a senator. Usha probably had the freedom to pursue whatever she wanted, career or otherwise. Greed and thirst for power know no bounds, I guess. |
Yup, pp you responded to and I agree with all of this. Pale blue is also not my color, and who doesn’t love pale blue? But it’s just never going to be the best color for us. I am a winter/near fall and deep jewel tones look prettiest on me. I also agree with the pp who suggested that these color choices are a weird, maybe subconscious attempt to emulate WASPY women. Deep jewel tones are of course emblematic of saris, and I think for the sake of her husband’s political career, Usha wants to stay as far away from suggesting or celebrating her ethnic origins as possible. This is a contrast from someone like Kamala Harris who at least occasionally wore Indian jewelry; we don’t really see someone like Usha doing that. |
Which is insane to me because one of the few times she looked beautiful (and not just "okay") was when she wore an Indian designer. It was that beautiful purple gown for the Ohio Inaugural ball. |
Yup, look at the massive difference when she is wearing a color that works: ![]() ![]() |
This pic is one of the few times they could both pass for attractive in the same image. JD almost looks handsome in that tux (it's the one time he's worn one that fit him correctly) and she doesn't look sickly. |
I will also note she has her hair pushed back off her face there. Half the time it's hanging limp in her face and she's fidgeting with it like she's a terrified third grader on her first day at a new school. |
Here is another nice dress from the inauguration. This color isn't quite as nice on her. Why doesn't she do her hair like this all the time? ![]() |
Obviously you have not bought anything at LOFT in the last 5 years. That's about right for 2-3 wearings. |
Here is another view of this absurdly ugly coat:
It is even uglier closed! How do you f*** up an olive green winter coat? But they manage it LOL! |
This color looks great on her! |
Here's Pete Hegseth and his emotional support wife:
I love the green for St. Patrick's Day but how do you guys rate her Trump(tm) cross? It's a 5/5 sparkly but size? 1/5 not BIG enough! |
