Usha Vance is not breaking the bank with her maternity wear.
After The New York Times published a story ******* led "The Politics and Power of the Pregnancy Image," in which fashion critic Vanessa Friedman ******* yzed how pregnant women in President Donald Trump's administration present themselves, the second lady, 40 — married to Vice President JD Vance — sent a clear message that she doesn't put much stock in what she's wearing.
"Now that we know the political significance of my $8.75 coral maternity dress from Old Navy, can't wait to hear what the New York Times has to say about my elastic-waistband pants and compression socks!" Usha wrote on X. "In the meantime, enjoy my pregnancy fashion (or lack thereof) and a good story with your kids on Storytime with the Second Lady."
Usha followed up by sharing a screenshot of the receipt for the purchase, confirming the garment was on sale for $12.49, down from $49.99, and she only paid $8.75 because she had a discount.
Usha wore the dress in the special Father's Day episode of her Storytime with the Second Lady podcast, where JD, 41, joined her to read the children's classic Winnie-the-Pooh.
