Vice President JD Vance’s 2-year-old daughter, Mirabel, is capturing hearts across the internet for her adorable—and hilariously relatable—Inauguration Day style.

While most eyes were on the historic swearing-in ceremony, Mirabel managed to steal the show while perched in her mother’s arms. Her toddler-chic outfit, complete with a cozy sweater and coat, was undeniably cute. But the real stars of her ensemble? The character-themed bandages adorning her tiny fingers.

The bandages, featuring beloved cartoon characters Bluey and Scooby-Doo, sparked a viral sensation online. Social media users couldn’t get enough of the bold and utterly toddler-esque fashion statement.

Internet Reactions: “Iconic Toddler Move”

Twitter quickly lit up with playful commentary. One user proclaimed:

“Mirabel’s Band-Aids are THE fashion statement of the inauguration.”
Another joked:

“The Band-Aids on JD Vance’s daughter’s fingers are taking me out. You KNOW there are no cuts under there. They just slapped them on because she insisted, and they needed her to behave.”

Some imagined the behind-the-scenes negotiations:

“Picture this: a Navy attaché at the VP Residence opening an ornate box filled with character Band-Aids—Paw Patrol, Barbie, Moana—arranged like fine teas. Mirabel, with all the authority of a diplomat, picks her favorites. ‘Thank you, sir, I’ll take Peppa Pig and Moana today.’”

Others hailed her as a master negotiator:

“My favorite part? You just KNOW the Band-Aids were part of a deal to get her to leave behind her fairy wings or tiara.”

Mirabel Vance is actually the most powerful person in the room. Toddlers are ruthless negotiators.”

A Toddler’s Charm Shines Through

In a sea of formality and historical significance, Mirabel’s playful Band-Aids served as a lighthearted reminder of the everyday moments that make families relatable—even on the world stage.

Mirabel’s viral moment isn’t just about Band-Aids; it’s a testament to the joys of parenthood and the universal quirks of toddlerhood. As one user aptly put it:

“Mirabel Vance, fashion icon and negotiation queen.”
