In the history of the White House, Usha Vance is the most highly accomplished second lady. She is a strong and independent woman who has a law degree from Yale. She has worked as a law clerk for senior judges like Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
Her professional accolades show how good she is at what she does. She has been a powerful woman who is career-focused and also takes care of her family. However, that all changed when her husband, JD Vance, became Vice President for Donald Trump. Having been college sweethearts, both JD and Usha have seen each other grow and evolve with life.
Becoming the Vice President is a huge accomplishment for JD Vance and that requires Usha to take on more responsibilities. She told in a recent interview that before her husband, JD, was selected as the VP, she did not know or expect him to get selected. She’s only been a wife, a lawyer, and a mother of three kids. Even her wardrobe was a reflection of exactly that.
Her comment shows how surprised and less prepared she might have been for this change from an accomplished lawyer to a trad wife supporting her husband now. She states that a stylist dresses her and has updated her wardrobe. Being in the limelight has also made her conscious about her fashion choices and how to look presentable. Recently, she went to Greenland with JD Vance as part of the Trump administration. They’ll also be visiting India soon.

By now, she’s the first-second lady of America who’s a Hindu. Many people have views on that as well. At an event, she was even asked how she would fit in with blondes and what she plans to do with her grey hair. She sarcastically replied, “I’m laughing because it would be really hard for me to be blonde, and that color would look totally absurd.”
In addition, her role didn’t just become of the second lady; she went from being a lawyer to someone who’s behind her husband. She will be called by her husband’s name in public when he does these big things.

She has learnt that over time she’ll have to make more appearances in public and do a lot of public speaking. Besides, she’ll have to transition from putting her career in the front to the back seat and focus on being a more traditional housewife now.
A close family friend has spoken to the media and said Usha has always been the boss, and she gets to decide things as she did when they were kids while playing games. We can assume that stepping out of that boss role may not come to her easily, but she will get through it.
