During a segment of the interview, Kate Snow asked Usha, “Do you own a MAGA hat?” The Second Lady briefly hesitated to answer the question. “Umm…I don’t really own any hats. I think I have a Disneyland hat, I want to say,” she replied.
When the show’s host said, “I just wondered,” Vance added, “Not a hat lady.” While Usha Vance insisted that this accessory is not a wardrobe staple, her fashion history tells a different story altogether.

Usha Vance has been spotted wearing hats and caps on several occasions. For starters, she was photographed in hats several times during her 2025 India visit with family.
She also styled her outfit with a hat while attending the Marine Corps 250th anniversary demonstration at Camp Pendleton in October last year.
In addition to that, the Second Lady also wore a hat as she accompanied her husband, JD Vance, to Dulles Plane Pull, in September last year.
