The lawyer stuck to one of her favorite silhouettes, popping on a pair of classic and simple deep blue suede pumps, seemingly a pair of Jimmy Choo’s Romy 60 Navy Suede Pointed Pumps. The chosen silhouette included textural blue suede uppers accompanied by sharp pointed toes and 3 to 4-inch stiletto heels. Simple in composition, the footwear choice allowed Usha’s dress to take center stage, acting as a supporting character of sorts. Additionally, the deep blue hue complimented the lighter blue tone of her dress.

Beloved by the likes of Kate Middleton and Melania Trump, suede styles are classic and versatile. Many public figures tend to reach for the style because the texture of the suede diversifies whatever silhouette it is attached to. For those looking to replicate Usha’s look, other top brands Sam Edelman, Aquazzura, Christian Louboutin and Gianvito Rossi feature similar suede styles for a range of price points and sizing options.

Dressy and formal, Usha partnered her suede footwear with a light blue dress. The garment was light blue and featured long sleeves and a draped bodice and a pencil-esque skirt. The political figure accessorized her look with dainty gold jewelry.

When it comes to footwear, Usha tends towards simplistic silhouettes like classic pumps and knee-high boots in neutral suede or leather styles. The public figure reaches for top brands like Christian Louboutin, Rothy and Manolo Blahnik, among others. Dressed for formal occasions, Usha often wears gowns and suiting looks from brands like Oscar de la Renta, Gaurav Gupta and Sergio Hudson.
