At the inauguration ceremony of the President and Vice President of the United States of America, Kamala Harris made quite a statement with her choice of outfit. Madam Vice President, who is known for sporting Converse sneakers, sharp blazers and tailored pantsuits, picked out a purple outfit by designer Christopher John Rogers, for her swearing-in ceremony on January 20th with Joe Biden.

At Washington D.C, Harris sent a powerful message while becoming the first female, Black and South-Asian Vice President, in the outfit created by the 27-year old designer, who took home the title of CFDA American Emerging Designer of the Year in 2020. Christopher John Rogers is a queer Black designer who already has fans in Zendaya, Rihanna and even Michelle Obama! Harris styled the tailor-made dress with a string of pearls and matching earrings which are also significant. They reference her time in the Alpha Kappa Alpha, the first inter-collegiate Black sorority. The gems are meant to symbolise fluidity and change over time while being tied to a strand to show a connection.

Harris completed her look with a pair of black gloves, black pumps and a black face mask while keeping her makeup fresh and to a bare minimum.
Madam Vice President sure did make heads turn at her swearing-in ceremony!
