U.S. Vice President JD Vance and his wife, Usha Vance, began their India trip in coordinated outfits. While Usha wore a bright red dress, J.D. paired a matching red tie with his suit, their in-sync look reminding us of a Korean dating ritual. If you’re wondering what we are talking about, read on!
The Korean "kou-peul" look trend
Complementing each other sartorially, Usha and J.D. Vance’s coordinated outfits reminded us of the Korean "kou-peul" or "si-mi-leo look," a trend where couples wear coordinated or complementary outfits as a public symbol of their bond.
This sweet style gesture is often seen in K-dramas when characters officially become a couple. Whether it’s subtly matching accessories or full-on coordinated ensembles, the "kou-peul" look captures how people combine love and fashion.
What did the Vance family wear?
J.D. and Usha Vance were warmly received at the Palam Air Base by Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw. While J.D. Vance and wife Usha wore formals, their kids were dressed in the perfect Indian attire. Vivek and Ewan, the two Vance boys, sported summery kurta pyjamas, while their three-year-old sister stole the show in a blue dress with an embroidered jacket.
