Kamala’s suffragette suit
The white pantsuit that Kamala Harris wore in Wilmington, Delaware, in November 2020 was not just a white suit. The silk Carolina Herrera two-piece made a strong statement, as noted by Diet Prada. “For those who say ‘Don’t mix politics with fashion,’ let’s appreciate our future Vice President Kamala Harris’s choice to highlight the history of the suffragette movement by wearing white for her historic victory speech,” the outlet raved on Instagram.

In July 2024, Vogue endorsed Kamala Harris for president. She was on the cover in February 2021 when she was vice president-elect. The politician wore a pink sweater, a Donald Deal jacket, and Converse sneakers. It was one of Harris’ most controversial outfits.
Kamala Harris’s controversial outfits were designed by Dolce & Gabbana. In January 2021, she wore a $1,165 wool and lace sweater from Italy.

Harris isn’t the first Washington woman to face backlash for supporting the label. Melania Trump and Jill Biden have also been involved, and D&G’s history makes them controversial. The designers have worn blackamoor earrings, been at a Disco Africa party, posed with someone in blackface, opposed gay parenthood, released a slave sandal, and run ads with an Asian model eating with chopsticks. Stefano Gabbana reportedly messaged an Instagram user who criticized the campaign, calling China “ignorant, dirty, and smelling of a mafia.”
