Usha Vance has been making headlines for her stylish choices throughout the multiple inauguration events. The soon-to-be Second Lady of the United States has been accompanying her husband, JD Vance, at many of the special events, including the Vice Presidential Dinner at the National Gallery in DC on Sunday, where she stole the show in a custom piece by Oscar de la Renta.

Usha decided to change things with a colorful look on Monday for Donald Trump's inauguration. She was photographed walking hand in hand with her husband at their arrival at the White House. The couple was greeted by Vice President Kamala Harris and the Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff ahead of the transfer of power.

However, it was Usha who had all eyes on her with her stunning pink ensemble, which has already been compared by online users with Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly's iconic outfits. 

She chose an Oscar de la Renta cashmere pale pink coat for the occasion, paired with a matching scarf and tan gloves. The tea length coat also featured a belt in the same color. Usha completed the ensemble with a pair of Manolo Blahnik Lina Boots and statement rings.

The special meaning of her outfit:

Usha's latest outfit might have a special meaning, as this shade of pink is associated with charm and beauty in India, apart from representing beauty. Pink is also associated with love and celebration, and it represents the joy and happiness that come with the victory of good.

Online users are already predicting Usha to be a fashion trendsetter. "Usha Vance’s outfit is EVERYTHING. I’m loving this pink coat. And those boots!!" one person wrote, while someone else commented, "Usha Vance appears to have taken a page from Melania Trump's style book. She's one classy Second Lady, in a sharp pink a-line coat, sporting an elegant updo hairstyle."
