When the Ohio State Buckeyes visited the White House to celebrate their college football championship, no one expected the spotlight to shift so dramatically,
but it wasn’t just the players or even Vice President JD Vance who stole the show — it was his wife, Usha Vance. Beaming with pride, JD, an Ohio State alum, posed alongside Usha, who donned a bold red dress and crisp white blazer in a perfect nod to Buckeye colors. But it was her casual white sneakers with yellow soles that had the internet buzzing, sparking a firestorm of debate over whether the laid-back look was a touchdown or a fashion fumble.
While some praised Usha for blending comfort and spirit into her ensemble, others weren’t so forgiving, arguing that a more polished shoe choice could’ve maintained comfort without clashing with the prestigious White House setting. Still, the biggest shock of the day wasn’t even about fashion — it was when the College Football Playoff trophy dramatically fell apart right in front of the cameras during its presentation to JD Vance. In true Buckeye spirit, JD laughed off the mishap on social media, turning what could have been a disaster into a viral, lighthearted moment.
In the end, the Buckeyes’ White House celebration was anything but predictable — and Usha Vance’s outfit, paired with the unexpected trophy disaster, ensured this was a championship memory fans (and fashion critics) won’t soon forget. Sometimes it’s not just the victories that get remembered — it’s the unscripted, unforgettable moments that steal the whole show!
