Comments on: Vice President JD Vance’s Halloween Costume Sparks Laughter — and a Sweet Surprise for His Kids Image It was supposed to be a lighthearted night at the Vice President’s Residence — and it quickly became one Washington will be talking about for weeks. Vice President JD Vance, his wife Usha, and their children turned the Naval Observatory into a family Halloween spectacle, arriving in creative costumes that blended humor, heart, and just enough chaos to charm everyone in attendance. Usha looked effortlessly elegant in a long black gown that flowed like a midnight curtain, drawing admiring glances as she guided their two children through the crowd of costumed guests. Their son was almost unrecognizable, decked out in a full leopard-man getup — complete with painted whiskers and a faux fur tail — while their daughter, bouncing happily beside him, wore a plump tomato costume that stole the show with its comic sweetness. But it was the Vice President himself who became the evening’s unexpected headline. Rather than donning a classic superhero suit or political pun, Vance arrived dressed as… himself — or rather, his infamous internet alter ego. Clad in a curly brown wig, padded midsection, and ill-fitting jacket, he appeared as “Fat JD,” the viral meme that once flooded social media. The moment he stepped out of the residence gates, laughter erupted from guests and Secret Service alike. VP JD Vance dresses up as his own viral meme for Halloween, social media post tops 15 million views “Better to own the joke than run from it,” Vance reportedly said with a grin, posing for photos beside his wife. “If you can’t laugh at yourself in this job, you’re not going to survive Washington.” Throughout the night, the Vance family mingled with guests — trick-or-treating stations lined the garden path, where costumed aides handed out caramel popcorn and cider. The Vice President greeted children dressed as astronauts, witches, and miniature senators, while his own son roared playfully in his leopard mask. Usha was seen chatting warmly with guests and helping her daughter adjust her leafy tomato cap. “She was glowing,” one staffer said. “You could tell she keeps the family grounded.” The laughter peaked when several guests asked Vance for selfies, insisting he “strike the meme pose.” He obliged, folding his arms and tilting his head with exaggerated seriousness. Within minutes, photos of “Fat JD 2.0” were circulating online, turning the Vice President’s self-deprecating humor into another viral moment — but this time, entirely on his own terms. As the evening wound down, Vance gathered his family on the back lawn for one final surprise. Staffers wheeled out a covered cart — which, to the children’s delight, revealed a small cotton candy machine and a stack of pumpkin-shaped cookies. The Vice President himself took charge, spinning pink and blue clouds of sugar while his daughter clapped in excitement. Usha laughed, shaking her head as bits of cotton candy clung to his wig. Image For a few moments, politics faded into the background — it was just a dad in a silly costume, making treats for his kids under strings of orange lights. As guests began to leave, Vance handed out the last cotton candy cones and thanked everyone for coming, still smiling through the remnants of spun sugar. “He really leaned into the fun,” one attendee said afterward. “You saw a side of him most people never do — funny, warm, and a little ridiculous. It made him feel… human.” By the end of the night, the memes had already started to spread again — only this time, they came with admiration. JD Vance’s “Fat JD” costume may have begun as a joke, but it ended as something far rarer in Washington: a reminder that even the Vice President can laugh at himself, and that the sweetest moments often come with a little sugar
