When the Ohio State Buckeyes visited the White House to celebrate their championship, it was Usha Vance—wife of Vice President JD Vance—who stole the spotlight.

JD, an Ohio State alum, proudly posed with Usha and personalized Buckeyes jerseys. Usha, dressed in a red dress, white blazer, and casual white sneakers with yellow soles, shared photos from the April 16 event on Instagram.

While some praised her spirited nod to school colors, critics felt the sporty sneakers clashed with the formal setting and suggested more polished footwear would have improved the look.

The real surprise, however, came when the College Football Playoff trophy broke apart during its presentation to JD Vance. Laughing it off, he later joked about it on social media.

In the end, the celebration proved unforgettable—for reasons no one had anticipated.
