Donald Trump's daughter, Ivanka Trump, recently found herself at the centre of unexpected internet buzz for a post shared by her fan page, honouring Usha Vance, wife of U.S. Senator JD Vance. The post praised Usha as a "brilliant and accomplished attorney," but what caught everyone's attention wasn't the words, but it was the picture used.
The image, meant to celebrate Usha’s achievements, showed her in a breathtaking white saree with intricate ruffle details and an elaborate pearl collar. However, Bollywood eagled-eye fans were quick to notice that the outfit looked eerily familiar. In fact, it was almost identical to actress Deepika Padukone's iconic look from the 2022 Cannes Film Festival.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the image had been digitally edited, with Usha's face superimposed onto Deepika's body.
Netizens react
The internet, being what it is, didn't let this fashion faux pas go unnoticed. Under the post, one user commented, "Usha is lovely. However, the photo you’ve shown is Deepika Padukone at Cannes in 2022." Another also claimed, "She is Deepika Padukone!" Others speculated that the image might be AI-generated.
Deepika Padukone's white saree moment at 2022 Cannes Film Festival
For those unfamiliar, Deepika made headlines at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival with some of the most exquisite couture by renowned designers. One of the standout ensembles from her Cannes wardrobe was this white saree look by Indian ace designer Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla.
The stunning creation donned by the actress featured intricate pearl detailing paired with the flowing, ruffled drape. The 'Padmavat' fame complemented her saree with a statement diamond earring and a middle-parted sleek hairdo.
