While all of Vice President Kamala Harris' outfits during the campaign were noteworthy, the smartly tailored suit she wore to debate former President Donald Trump on Tuesday, September 10, was always of special significance. The black power suit with tonal stripes and white pussy-ribbon blouse contrasted visually with the cobalt blue suit and bright red tie worn by her opponent, a smart choice for a candidate trying to make history in multiple ways. Vice President Harris was styled by Leslie Fremmer, who has worked with him since the beginning of the campaign.

Harris accessorized her look with her signature pearl stud earrings, gold bangle bracelet, and several rings. Her hair was styled in sophisticated waves, and her makeup was a nude pink lipstick and brown eyeshadow that added a soft touch to the camera.

Harris has a distinctive look, honed through years of work as a lawyer and politician. Since running for president in July, however, Harris has taken strategic risks with her campaign style.
