Melania Trump & Usha Vance Have Mismatched Vibes On Date Night With Donald & JD
Melania Trump and Usha Vance gave off conflicting vibes during a double date with their husbands on October 2, 2025. Melania went for a va-va-voom night on the town, Catwoman look, wearing an all-black dress. The sleeveless frock seemed to be made of leather or pleather material, with a high neckline and a hem that reached past the first lady's knees. Melania paired the look with black heels.
On the flip side, Usha went for a grandmas' knitting circle aesthetic. She wore a black blouse under a matching black blazer, with three-quarter sleeves. Her wrap skirt had a black and white pattern on it, almost reminiscent of static from an old TV. Shoe-wise, Usha also stepped out in black heels. Otherwise, however, the women looked like they were dressing for two very different events.
It's always a good time when you get to have the boss over for dinner!
Usha and I were so grateful that President Trump and our lovely First Lady, Melania, could join us for dinner at the Vice President's Residence last night.🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/8XDsXyj8oD

Meanwhile, JD Vance seemingly took more bad fashion advice from Donald Trump, twinning in a boxy blue suit and tie. In the photo JD posted on X, it looked like it was a fun-packed, thrilling affair as the four stood stiffly in line outside the entrance to Number One Observatory Circle (the vice president's official residence), fixed smiles plastered on, appearing more like waxwork statues than living, breathing humans. (Still, JD's purported eyeliner was thicker than ever and totally snatched, so top marks there at least.)
Usha and Melania usually dress like opposites
Despite their shared political wife experience, Usha Vance and Melania Trump are like chalk and cheese. Usha and Melania are polar opposites in their makeup and fashion preferences, with the former usually going for a homely, sometimes frumpy, grandma look, and the latter going all out glamour fashionista. Another example of their vastly different closets could be seen on Inauguration Day 2025, when Usha wore a blush pink coat dress from Oscar de la Renta, along with cream gloves and brown boots. While that look exuded soft elegance, Melania's dark navy coat dress with a coordinating hat and dark leather gloves was a more intense 'fit.
In March 2025, at Trump's joint address to Congress, Usha wore a bold color choice that Melania's never dared to try: pastel peach. Her suit set contrasted with the dark gray look Melania stepped out in for that same event.
But style isn't their only difference. Before Usha became second lady, she had a successful career as a high-flying attorney. At the same time, Melania was a model and entrepreneur before becoming first lady the first time, and she's taken to the role in a unique, sometimes hands-off way. Still, both are consummate pros at sucking it up for the greater good, including a presidential double date.
