Usha Vance - Fashion Thread

Vance is also smiling without showing his teeth. Weird.

Usha, if you’re reading, PLEASE hire a stylist! For both yourself and your husband, who can’t seem to figure out how to buy clothes that fit.

She's not reading it. Get over yourself.

She lives in Alexandra and is a woman who reads a lot. We’re not talking about Melania here. I would bet she’s ventured onto DCUM pretty frequently…

She lives in the Naval Observatory in DC.

It does not fit. It is way too big. The boots are far too casual. The color is fine I guess, but I think she could do better.

It fits perfectly and looks comfortable enough to move around in. Some of you seem to think she should be wearing straitjackets. Any tighter around the shoulders and arms and she would have been totally constricted. I love the dress and the matching coat.

I do not believe you. The darts are under her breasts. It fits horribly. It gives her a penis. And the boots are casual and slouched, not in, and wrong. No. A thousand times, no. You can’t make this bad look happen.

You "don't believe me"? About what? That I have an opinion and that opinion is positive? Serious question: what on earth is wrong with you?

Doesn't change what it is, though. You can shout down and insult posters here if you want, but people all over are still talking about it. A better use of the energy is just to get a stylist for formal appearances and do better.

All this frantic defense to make her feel better just makes her look more out of place and thin-skinned. Sad.

The only people insulting others are those who are calling her ugly and stupid, and those who are mocking anyone who dares to say she looks great (which she does). Maybe consider it is you who is grossly out of place for so vehemently criticizing someone who actually looks perfectly lovely. Don’t you have some seams of your own to obsess over?

Nobody called her stupid or ugly. They recommended she work with a stylist and a dermatologist. Both perfectly normal things to do as a person in the limelight like this. You’re taking this insanely personally. Why?

Earlier in the thread, someone (or multiple people) did indeed call her both ugly and stupid for not being styled in a way those posters deemed acceptable. Perhaps those comments have been deleted - I certainly hope so. Because she is definitely neither ugly nor stupid and seems happy and confident in all of her looks. Which she should be.

You’re welcome to make absurd criticisms of her, but please don’t think they deserve to go unchallenged. Many of us think she looked fabulous and will continue to say so.

I followed this thread from the beginning and this just didn’t happen. You’re obviously an incredibly political person and can’t participate in an objective discussion re her lack of style and general frump, so why bother?

I have been popping into this thread although I didn't read it religiously. There were nasty toned posts calling her a pain jane and saying only white people would find her attractive.

That was me and you are taking my words out of context and misunderstanding them (probably on purpose). She’s average. That’s not an insult. I’m average too and you probably are too. She’s not the great beauty that her friends on here are claiming that she is.

Melania is the beauty in the White House now but Usha is attractive to those who appreciate POC.

“Usha is attractive to those who appreciate POC.” Uh, wow. Also wow on many times these comments were quoted and that was passed right over.

I wrote that and I am a POC. I was described as "olive-skinned" and "beautiful in a different way" when I first went to college. It opened my eyes to the reality that we women of color are held to a different standard of beauty than our white counterparts. Usha is not plain or average.

Oh dear, you are confused. It's called exoticism. A lot of people see someone different from them and automatically think "oh she's olive-skinned with different shaped eyes, she is beautiful" when that person compared to other people of the same ethnicity are the same as everyone else - plain Jane/average. Like you. Like me. Like Usha.

It's really amazing how sanctimonious your posts are. Usha is indeed a very attractive woman - some would (gasp!) say beautiful. Has nothing to do with her ethnicity.

No, I think it does need to be tailored so it fits better.
