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.
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.
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).
I'm of the opinion that Vance would be really pissed if Usha upstaged him because of her clothing like Jackie K. did with Kennedy.
Little American wifey is exactly what he wants so no ethnic clothes for her.
I think she looks nice here, gd help us. But whoever said the daughter's outfit is better is correct.
The loafers are not good. Why not a pair of simple ballet flats?

Usha is not Kate M. And that’s the understatement of the century!

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. You can't be anti-DEI and have your wife out frolicking in a sari and celebrating her heritage.
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.
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??
Except she has relatives in India - apparently her grandmother didn’t know she was going to be there until govt officials showed up at her house. Is she estranged from her family? I haven’t seen her side at anything, parents included
I would not at ALL be surprised if she was estranged from her family over being part of the Trump Administration - her parents are college professors in California!! I mean this is her mom, Professor Chill. Come on, she looks so cool!

There are conservative pockets in Southern California.
