I can't find a picture of this outfit, only video. This is one of her better looks: https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/ndtv-exclusive-usha-vances-return-to-roots-on-india-visit-8227128[/quote]

I'm sorry but this is a terrible outfit - those shoes are so unflattering, the shirt is too tight and looks absurd with that flitty skirt. And her hair looks terrible. [/quote]

Agreed. Next time can we request JD takes Ivanka with him? She knows how to dress the part! Usha could have borrowed her outfit from the Ambani wedding?!

At risk of sounding like a clueless white woman, I wonder why she didn't choose to wear more Indian outfits? When she stepped off the plane in Solani (Indian-British designer) I was hopeful she would lean into theme dressing for the week. Even in that pic, she's dressed like the world's most mediocre midlevel bank manager and the interviewer is in a sari, so a sari wouldn't have been inappropriate. [/quote]

I'm Indian-American and I am right there with you!! And the crazy thing is that they've been dressing their children in Indian clothes. They are far better dressed than her. She doesn't even need to be in a sari, she could wear something like her daughter is wearing (except obviously a longer top).

It's very deliberate.  Other than the occasional Indian designer, she doesn't wear anything that calls back to India at all.

I'd assume that this is to appease or keep the ultra right wing quiet.  [b]You can't be anti-DEI and have your wife out frolicking in a sari and celebrating her heritage.[/b][/quote]
Re: Celebrating her heritage.

A clip of that interview came up on my Instagram last night. I was shocked to learn this is JD's first time in India. Haven't they been married for like 10, closer to 15 years? And in that whole time they've never been to India together? She did say they read the kids Indian epics and JD sometimes makes Indian food, but idk. I don't think she's loud and proud about her heritage. [/quote]

I've been married 15 years and my husband and I have never been to India together. My parents and their entire families live in the US. If your parents moved from Wichita to New England, and your grandparents were all dead would you have reason to go back to Wichita??[/quote]

I don't think that's quite the same. Moving from Wichita to New England is still American culture, albeit with regional differences. [/quote]

You are missing the point. It’s not about culture. It’s about visiting family. I have a ton of foreign cousins that because my parents were just squeaking by, we visited twice when I was growing up and I have seen once since then. I’ve met this part of my family three times, I just don’t have much of a connection to them. Why would I take my husband to visit them when we have limited vacation time and the rest of my family (including one entire side of my family that lives in the US) is here?

Also, most Americans I know are not at all close to their extended families, so that makes your argument a little more laughable to me. [/quote]

Can anyone convince me that Usha is not on this thread replying directly?!  Honestly, because it’s not a vacation, they are politicians. And most of the Americans I know who are not close to extended family are white; my SE Asian, S Asian, African and Black friends and coworkers are. [/quote]

I'm not Usha, I actually abhor Usha and the comment about atrocious shoes above was mine. I'm sorry, you're right, I should have said WHITE Americans. Thank you for the correction on that. My assumption is always that the majority of women who write here are wealthy white women who are not close to their family. I'm probably wrong, but it certainly feels that way.[/quote]
