A user clarified, “Usha is lovely. However, the photo you have shown is Deepika Padukone at Cannes in 2022," while another added, “She is Deepika Padukone." One of the fans reiterated Vance’s similarity to the Bollywood actress and wrote, “This is popular and one of the best actresses of India, Deepika Padukone. This photo is from the Cannes Film Festival, where Deepika was one of the jury."
Despite the strong evidence, a section of internet users was seen believing the authenticity of the post. One wrote, “Beautifully stated. Beauty, intelligence, and competence—you both wear this distinction well. Have a great day and week to you and yours," while another added, “Very pretty dress and smile."
“Usha Vance is an impressive woman in her own right—intelligent, accomplished, and graceful. Her support for J.D. Vance is admirable, but her own achievements deserve just as much recognition!" another comment read. One of them wrote, “I wonder who her stylist is? She’s so well dressed. I love all her outfits. She looked amazing at all the inauguration events."
The picture is making headlines at a time when Usha Vance has been in the news after US President Donald Trump appeared to have forgotten the second lady’s name while talking about her trip to Greenland.
