Second Lady Usha Vance drew smiles during a school visit this week when a student asked her a simple but thoughtful question: “What is your favourite colour?"

In a video clip shared by Fox News, Vance paused, smiled, and said, “That is an excellent question." She then pointed to her outfit and explained why red is one of her favourites.

“You might notice I am wearing a red dress today," Vance told the students. “That is because it is one of my favourite colours and also my three-year-old’s favourite colour. She actually made me change this morning into this outfit so that we could match."

Vance added that the choice seemed even more fitting when she noticed that the schoolchildren were also wearing red. “It’s a good choice," she said, “because all of you are wearing red too, and now we are all in school colours."

The event, part of Vance’s outreach as second lady, offered a glimpse of her personal side. Alongside her husband, US Vice President JD Vance, she has been making public appearances since the new administration took office.

Usha Vance (née Chilukuri) grew up in the working-class suburbs of San Diego, California, the daughter of Indian immigrants from Andhra Pradesh. Her father worked as a mechanical engineer while her mother built a career as a molecular biologist.

She went on to earn a degree in history from Yale University before studying at Cambridge as a Gates Scholar, completing an MPhil in early modern history.

In 2010, while pursuing her law degree at Yale, she met J.D. Vance during a student discussion group on “social decline in white America." That exchange would later shape parts of her husband’s bestselling 2016 memoir Hillbilly Elegy, a book on his childhood in the white working-class communities of the Rust Belt, which was adapted into a 2020 film directed by Ron Howard.
