Kamala Harris: The US Vice President's Vogue cover causes trouble
US Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, 56, featured on the cover of the February issue of Vogue. The fact that the politician graces the cover of the fashion magazine is met with enthusiasm. But now there is anger about the cover picture, because: Allegedly Harris wanted another picture to be used for it.
The cover of the February issue of Vogue shows the 56-year-old in a casual look, consisting of a blazer and trousers with which she combines a T-shirt and Converse sneakers. The prospective US Vice President stands there relaxed and smiles.
But there is a second photo: Harris looks more serious in it. She has crossed her arms in front of her chest and wears a light blue pantsuit by Michael Kors. According to media reports, the lawyer assumed that the second – more serious – picture would be used as the cover. As reported by the AP news agency, Harris should not have known until the publication, but that the cover had been replaced.
Vogue countered that both looks were chosen by the prospective Vice President and her team. In addition, the chosen photo should not have been chosen out of bad faith, but rather it should capture their authentic, accessible nature, confirms the editorial team. However, the fashion magazine is partially giving way. The photo in which Harris wears the light blue pants suit has now also appeared as a digital magazine cover.
