Usha Vance opted for light and feminine shades on Inauguration Day 2025. The wife of JD Vance, Usha, attended a church service as well as a ceremonial tea at the White House. For the tea, the Vances were received by outgoing Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff. Vance chose a pale pink Oscar de la Renta coat for the occasion that she paired with tan gloves. The coat included a scarf and belt of the same fabric.

For shoes, Vance wore a pair of Manolo Blahnik Lina boots. The silhouette is knee-high. It includes a pointed toe. The shoe is made of “dark beige” suede leather.

The sole and lining of the boot are all leather. There’s also a block heel of just over 3.5 inches. There’s also aside zip to help slipping the boot on and off.

Manolo Blahnik sells the boot for $1,595.

This isn’t the only play that Manolo Blahnik received on Inauguration Day 2025. At the same event, Melania Trump wore a pair of Manolo Blahnik BB pump stilettos. The silhouette is one of Trump’s favorite, having worn them in a variety of colors, fabrications and prints over the years. She counts brands like Christian Louboutin and Chanel as creators of other shoes she regularly chooses.

Vance appeared to wear the Blahnik Lina boots on Sunday as well. She attended a wreath laying ceremony as a part of the inauguration events wearing a white Sergio Hudson coat. In addition she wore a beige boot.
