Vice President-elect Kamala Harris has appeared on the cover of US Vogue and has sparked controversy online. The discussion on the Internet, which arose because of her appearance, drew attention to Hypebae.
Two photos of Harris appeared on the Instagram account of the publication. In the first photo, she is captured full-length in a dark jacket, jeans and Converse sneakers, and in the second, she is posing in a formal outfit that consists of a blue pantsuit and a white blouse. It is known that one of the frames will be the cover of the February issue of Vogue.
Twitter users began to criticize the published photos. One user complained that the dark-skinned Harris turned out to be fair-skinned due to incorrect lighting. “What is this blurry cover?” – she was indignant. Another user emphasized that the selected pictures are unsuccessful and are an insult to the future vice president, who is currently considered the most powerful woman in the United States.
Sources close to Harris said that a photo of the politician in an official image was agreed for the cover. In turn, the shot of the VP-elect posing in Converse sneakers was originally taken as an add-on. “The Vogue team liked the images taken by Tyler Mitchell and felt that the informal photo reflected the true nature of Vice President-elect Harris. This, in our opinion, is one of the hallmarks of the Biden and Harris administration, “commented a Vogue spokesman.
In November 2020, President-elect Joe Biden's socks caught the attention of journalists at an official meeting. The politician appeared in public in a navy blue blazer, light blue shirt, gray trousers and classic loafers. Biden's costume was complemented by bright accessories: a red and blue striped tie and blue socks with a pattern of blue dogs.
