I’m going with too thin. My waist line might be bigger but my face is fuller.

As a Catholic married to a non-Catholic, I am wildly curious about their religious life. I assume he goes to mass weekly. Where? Will he start going to St. Matts? The new cardinal is, I would think, not to his liking so perhaps he will come up to bethesda to go with the kavanaughts or out to Virginia? Does she go to mass with him? Do the kids? Will they go to CCD? Usually these compromises are worked out before the marriage and kids but he converted after all that so I am intensely curious how she’s navigating all that. Wearing white to prayer services and wreath laying….iis that a quiet assertion of the fact that she’s still Hindu?

Nah. She lacks style and style sense. She thinks a silk dress is what one wears to "something important," but anyone who has been in a big cathedral knows they are poorly heated, so a wool dress or a wool suit makes the most sense.

Let's be real. If she had worn a coat or heavy dress to this service, you'd complain that "she's wearing a coat/heavy dress to a church service!!" You would also have claimed the coat/heavy dress was "ill-fitting." I mean, seriously? No matter what she chooses to put on her body, you're going to be piping up with some bizarre take down. It's beyond tiresome.

She somehow keeps wearing clothes that attract attention while also being weird and ill-fitting. Is this satin? White satin? On a Tuesday morning in January? When it is 10 degrees outside? Wut.

I honestly think she'd do better at this point just buying like a full system from Theory or MM La Fleur or something -- everything in the same three colors, mix and match, same shoes and coat with everything. Her trying to create bespoke looks for different events is a disaster and she'll never be able to keep up.

She's in so far over her head.

I'm baffled that you see anything at all wrong with this outfit, in a chic winter white. It's comical, the lengths you're going to tear down what are perfectly lovely outfits.

Np and you must be completely blinded by your political goggles. Outfits alone, she looks unkempt, overwhelmed by clothes, silly and yes, ridiculous in white satin in January. It’s not winter white. It’s white silk. She looks stupid. And it’s too big, ill fitting and shows off her gray fly away hair and skin discoloration. She looks bad. She looks like she wondered into Nordstrom and grabbed a Vince dress off the rack that’s way too big and slapped on some concealer. Let’s get real here. I go to services at the cathedral all the time and the parents from the schools there look about 10000 times better than this on an average Tuesday.

I agree with this, including the poor fit and slight frumpiness. With the exception of Jackie Kennedy, First/Second Ladies are usually a little bit frumpy. Even Nancy Reagan went for the frumpiest, most conservative version of that "ladies who lunch" look in the 80s. I think frump is an easy way for a First or Second Lady to communicate that she is respectful of the occasion but isn't trying too hard to be the center of attention.

Michelle Obama got a lot of flack for being insufficiently frumpy even though honestly, she went out of her way to be much frumpier than she clearly prefers while in the White House -- her fashion since leaving the WH shows just how much she held back.

Usha is definitely trying to communicate "very demure, very mindful" with her fashion. Not a fashion plate. She does not have Melania's or Ivanka's aspirations in this respect at all. She just doesn't want to offend and that's about it.

The second comment on this is that Mark Zuckerberg was caught on camera looking at Lauren Sanchez’s tddays please please someone find that pic/vid and post it if it exists

Those must be the friends that were posting here all weekend, LOL

I'm guessing most of her friends are nerdy lawyers like her and this would explain why her clothes are pretty meh.

Get a stylist, girl! You don't have to go high fashion but people are going to be taking your photograph continuously for four years. Find someone who will put together a system for you that works for most events and then will create evening looks for you when you need one. And I think you need to start from scratch on your hair -- get a lob and a deep condition, start scheduling monthly trims to keep it in shape, follow directions regarding washing and drying.

This isn't about vanity. This is the job she signed on for.

Actually her “job” is to stay bland and out of the limelight. Who has ever cared what the second lady wears? Half the time we don’t even remember her name.

She looked great and not at all like someone who was demanding the spotlight. In short, she looked just right. I loved her inauguration ball gown and her pink coat.

No, she has every right to shine. They like to have her there as their POC so she stands out whether her clothes are bland or not.

She *did* shine. And if she had worn something much more edgy or attention-grabbing, you'd be complaining about that, too. People like you place women in a no-win situation.

That coat was humongous and weird and it showed off her crazy gray hair which looks awful. I don’t GAF who designed it it did not fit and it looked crazy.

What on earth was professional with a figure skater dress, a giant pink coat, and a weird white silk look for a January morning? Not following. Not sure where you work. She looked odd.

And the PP's comment about the lipstick actually made me laugh out loud. First she doesn't wear enough, now she's wearing "too much." She looks fab and I'd love to know what brand/color lipstick she's wearing.

Nobody gave two hoots about Gwen Walz or Karen Pence. Why is there so much attention on Usha?

There is tremendous wealth at the Cathedral schools, with a significant amount of generational wealth. What does it even mean to compare Usha to these people "on an average Tuesday." Your comment is meaningless.

No doubt those parents make a concerted effort to avoid you like the plague. JFC - do you even hear yourself?
