You’re no doubt fully aware that Anna Wintour has liked to mix politics and fashion via the cover of Vogue. After all, throughout time, the magazine’s long-serving editor insisted on giving Hilary Clinton a Vogue makeover in 1998. Michelle Obama was granted three covers of the American fashion bible during her time as First Lady, and current First Lady Jill Biden has also covered Vogue twice. Kamala Harris is also a favorite of Wintour’s, with the Vice President (and candidate for President of the United States in November) taking to the special October 2024 digital cover of Vogue. Harris was photographed on October 7 at her official residence in Washington, DC for the occasion, captured via the lens of Annie Leibovitz. Styled by Leslie Fremar, the now two-time Vogue cover star wears her own Gabriela Hearst suit in the cover photograph.
Kamala Harris on the Cover of Vogue:
Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“Why does the cover look like it was all Photoshopped together?” immediately asked callmejaeden.
“I was confused when I saw this cover because they just revealed the Billie Eilish cover. Why did Kamala Harris get shafted to digital? Perhaps it got a last-minute approval?” questioned Yohji.
“Why is it digital? Well, for one, the whole thing was put together literally last week, a full month after the actual October cover was released. Anna wants her legacy to be something more than fashion so badly,” noted forum member KoV.
Children Surrender commented: “I hate the fact the fashion industry has to do stunts like this!”
Yet not everyone was so unsatisfied. “It’s flattering. I like the outfit colors, rich and earthy, and the pose is attractive,” reasoned NakedAndAfraid.
“I happen to like this a whole lot better than the Billie Eilish cover. In terms of political figures on the cover of Vogue, nothing seems to compare to Michelle Obama for December 2016 – or even the Hilary Clinton cover. Yet the colors here are lovely, love the richness of everything, and it’s better than Kamala’s first cover which felt… cheesy,” voiced vogue28.
