Kamala Harris Wears Custom Navy Suit by Chloé to Accept Party Nomination on Historic DNC Night

As a seasoned gamer and fashion enthusiast who has spent countless hours immersed in the virtual worlds of video games like “The Sims” and “Second Life”, I found the sea of white at the Democratic National Convention to be an intriguing nod to the suffrage movement, reminiscent of the avatars donning wedding dresses in a mass virtual wedding in the game. It was refreshing to see such a powerful message conveyed through fashion on the political stage, echoing the symbolic actions taken by players in the gaming world.


On Thursday night, as I made my way into Chicago’s United Center for the final event of the Democratic National Convention, it struck me that an overwhelming number of us were dressed in white. As I took my seat amidst the crowd, I realized that we, the women, had received the same message. The sea of white attire symbolized our tribute to the lengthy suffrage movement that culminated in American women gaining the right to vote in 1920 – a testament to their relentless pursuit of equality and justice.

On a lively night for Democrats, as cameras swept through the crowd, many attendees could be seen wearing white outfits, some adorned with American flags and broad grins. This had political analysts and TV hosts buzzing: Would Kamala Harris, similar to Hillary Clinton in 2016 at the DNC in Philadelphia, choose to wear all white as a symbol of breaking barriers? The speculation was running high.

Kerry Washington, the star host for the night’s event, made her entrance early on, dressed in a delicate off-white crocheted top and skirt. The camera then panned to Nancy Pelosi, smartly attired in a pristine white power suit with a vibrant blue blouse beneath. Gabby Giffords chose an off-white blazer for her impassioned remarks on gun reform. Meanwhile, the same segment featured Rep. Lucy McBath of Georgia and Melody McFadden, both wearing white, as they shared their own moving stories about how they had been personally affected by gun violence.

A number of gentlemen joined the excitement as the Pack Drumline put on a show with their attire in white trousers, shirts, coats, and headbands. Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer donned a silver gown that looked white on screen. Ella Emhoff, daughter of Vice President Doug Emhoff’s second-in-command, wore an off-the-shoulder dress by Joe Ando, which boasted a white skirt.

As the evening drew to a close, Harris took center stage, making history as the first Black woman and Indian American to be nominated by her party for president. She broke the trend of the night by donning a striking navy power suit and silk blouse from Chloé, a move that seemed to declare “History has been made; now it’s time to focus on business and shatter that last glass ceiling.” While she might not discuss her fashion choices often, Harris’ preference for navy is probably not a secret to those who know her well. As Sergio Hudson, a designer who has created custom looks for Harris, recently shared with The Hollywood Reporter, “She never wants to be seen as a fashion icon.”

On the opening night of the DNC, Harris donned a Chloé outfit designed by Chemena Kamali. The ensemble she chose was a custom-made camel-colored suit paired with a white silk-crepe blouse, which some perceived as a tribute to the tan suit President Barack Obama wore during a press conference in 2014.

Apart from earrings and a wristband, Harris adorned her navy suit this evening with an American flag brooch pinned to the lapel. In conclusion, she declared, “Let’s pen the next remarkable chapter in the most extraordinary tale ever told.” As the crowd roared in agreement, they chanted, “U.S.A! U.S.A!”
