The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., transformed into a dazzling hub of style and grandeur as distinguished guests gathered for a private dinner hosted by Vice President-elect JD Vance ahead of president-elect Donald Trump's oath-taking ceremony. Among the glamorous attendees, the incoming Second Lady of the United States, Usha Vance, made heads turn with her breathtaking entry.

At the event, Usha exuded chic elegance in a custom-made Oscar de la Renta gown in deep noir velvet. The gown featured a sweetheart neckline, a strapless pattern and asymmetric floral accents. Keeping the look minimal, Usha accessorised with just delicate stud earrings and black pumps.

Walking hand-in-hand with her husband, JD Vance, Usha effortlessly complemented his sharp black tuxedo and bow tie. The couple oozed an absolute aura of elegance, standing out as one of the most stylish duos of the evening.
