Folks are reminded of that, all because of an X post stating that the US Vice President's wife, Usha Vance, was spotted wearing the very same look. Do you recall Deepika Padukone's Cannes viral looks, where she paired a pearl collar with a white saree.

What does the post state?

"Usha Vance is a smart and talented lawyer recognized for her intelligence, elegance, and promotion of her husband, J.D. Vance. She matches beauty with poise and dedication, making her a source of inspiration," states the caption. The photo is Vance allegedly donning the same saree and collar as Padukone. You can probably guess, the photo is doctored. The photo is taken in the same pose as that of Padukone, and we can see a section of the red carpet in the background.

How did social media respond?

Since uploading, the photo has received a high number of likes and comments. While some indeed believed it to be Usha Vance, others, especially desis, quickly commented that the photo was Photoshopped." Another one said, "Usha is lovely. But the photo you have shared is Deepika Padukone and at Cannes in 2022." A third, "What a lovely dress to wear for a very beautiful woman." This is from the Cannes Film Festival, when Deepika was a judge.

US Vice President's wife

Usha Vance has been making headlines of late, and all thanks to Donald Trump. The United States president, in his discussions on her controversial visit to Greenland, appeared to have forgotten the second lady's name. She and Mike Waltz, who is the US national security adviser, are scheduled to travel to the region on March 27, a visit that is not being received well by the Greenlanders.
