Usha Vance dazzles in sapphire gown at President Trump’s inaugural ball
Usha Vance made a stunning entrance at the inaugural ball, turning heads in a shimmering sapphire gown alongside her husband, Vice President JD Vance. The exquisite dress by Reem Acra showcased a breathtaking linear dégradé design with intricate paillette embroidery and a delicate Chantilly lace underlay. The Lebanese designer shared her admiration for the gown on social media, emphasizing its blend of classic elegance and contemporary flair.
Keeping her accessories minimal, Usha chose black suede pumps and sparkling diamond stud earrings to complement the striking sapphire number. On the night of the ball, she joined notable figures including Melania Trump, who wore a chic black-and-white strapless gown by Herve Pierre, and Ivanka Trump, who opted for a custom design from Givenchy.
Earlier in the day, Usha attended President Trump’s swearing-in ceremony, wrapped in a custom peony pink cashmere coat from Oscar de la Renta. She paired the coat with a matching tea-length dress and accessorized with a tonal scarf, Manolo Blahnik boots, gloves, a clutch, and playful flower-shaped earrings.
The fashion-packed inaugural weekend began for Usha with a dinner celebrating her husband’s new role, where she wowed in a strapless black velvet gown adorned with floral details. The following day, she participated in a wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery, dressed in a bright white coat dress by Sergio Hudson. That evening, she attended a candlelit dinner in a deep purple gown designed by Gaurav Gupta.
Usha and JD Vance’s love story began at Yale Law School, where they first met as students. The couple tied the knot in Kentucky in 2014 and are proud parents to three children: Ewan Blaine, 7, Vivek, 4, and Mirabel Rose, 3. Usha Vance’s debut in the spotlight as the second lady not only showcased her impeccable style but also set the tone for future events in her new role.
