An unexpected appearance in Met gala In New York the former US Vice President, Kamalaaccompanied by her husband, Dag Emkhoffjust before a resource reinforcement event for the Democratic National Committee (DNC). Harris chose to wear a striking black and white dressspecially designed by the house Off-white.

In accordance with CNNAlthough he did not walk on the red carpet, he was captured by the lens shortly before the event, wearing an elegant silk toilet with asymmetrical sleeve-hug and long staple-a style that, according to the house, exudes timelessness.

The invitation came from her own Anna WindurVogue’s editor -in -chief and co -chair of the Met Gala, as a spokesman for Harris said. The former vice -president has made few public appearances following her defeat in the November presidential election, with the exception of two speeches: one at Leading Women Defined Summit and one at Emerge Gala – the second one boosts financial organization that supports women for public posts. In both of her speeches, she criticized his first 100 days of governing Donald Trump.

“Instead of a government that seeks the highest ideals of America, we are watching their total abandonment,” he told Emerge Gala last Wednesday. “And what we also see in the last 14 weeks are American citizens who use their voice and show courage.”

Harris clothing during her term of office is often symbolized – from the white suit and the pussybow t -shirt that refers to the movement in favor of women’s voting right to the Cloé Camel costume she wore at the Democrats’ National Congress, closing her eye to Barack. He has also appeared twice on the cover of Vogue, with the first photography – in casual style, jacket and converse shoes – causing a strong discussion.

At this year’s Met Gala, Harris honored the exhibition of the Suit Institute entitled “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” with the creation of the off-White. The exhibition focuses on the story of “Black Dandyism”, based on the Slaves to Fashion Station by Monica L. Miller, who also participates as a curator. It is a celebration of black costume heritage, at a time when museums face uncertainty due to Trump’s proposals for cuts in the funding of the arts, including Smithsonian museums.

“For me, the essence of Dandyism stems from confidence and power. No one embodies these features better than Kamala Harris-a woman who has overcome difficulties and remains a lighthouse for many, “said Creative Director of Off-White, IB Kamara, in CNN.

This was the first appearance of Harris in the Met Gala, though it is not the only political figure that has walked the steps of the Metropolitan Museum. In 2022, Hillary Clinton made her first appearance in the event after two decades, in a red Altuzarra dress embroidered with the names of great women in history, such as Harriet Tabman and Eleonora Roosevelt. In 2021, Alexandria Okasio-Cortez caused a sensation with the white Brother Vellies dress that brought the inscription “Tax the Rich” in red letters.

On the contrary, Anna Windour has publicly stated that Donald Trump is a persona non grata at Met Gala. In 2017, he said in a James Corden television show that he was the one and only person who would never invite again.
