Who is Ella Emhoff, Kamala Harris’ stepdaughter?

If politics isn’t your thing, this week’s America opening featured some serious fashion looks.

There was Michelle Obama in plum and Hillary Clinton in her purple power and the Biden clan’s commitment to match their masks with their outfits.

And of course, Melania Trump deserves an honorable mention for her Gucci caftan that she said long after she left the White House.

But the real fashion star of the opening was a person you’ve probably never heard of before: Ella Emhoff.

She is the stepdaughter of the Vice President of the United States, Kamala Harris, and at just 21 years old she is being praised for being an “instant style icon” and for achieving “what Ivanka could not do in four years” – real praise from Fashion.

In a Miu Miu plaid coat with dazzling shoulder accents and a burgundy Batsheva dress, Ella’s outfit wouldn’t have looked out of place at Paris fashion week.

“My mood chart was very ‘girlish’, in a sense, a lot of scalloped collars and big-silhouette shoulders and little buttons,” Ella told Vogue about her outfit inspiration.

“I was going for something more feminine, to embrace my feminine side … because, like, how many times do you prepare to attend an opening?

“This momentous event deserves a momentous outfit.”

Others also agreed that Ella’s outfit was momentous, and took to Twitter to praise the look, and her fashion energy, something Ivanka rarely received despite having her own fashion line when her father took office. in 2017.

During Donald Trump’s time in the White House, critics often criticized Ivanka’s expensive Jackie O-inspired outfits.

Ivanka was compared to a “50s housewife” when she wore a $ 17,000 Carolina Herrera shirt dress to a white tie banquet at Buckingham Palace in 2019.

The former first daughter was also forced to shut down her fashion and footwear brands in 2018 after controversy over her father’s policies led distributors and customers to abandon the label.

She not only has a passing interest in clothing, she is a student at the prestigious Parsons School of Design in New York, where she lives.

The design student is a prolific Instagrammer who uses the platform to show off her artistic side with quirky self-portraits and photos of colorful objects.

Her passion is knitting and crocheting, with Ella selling bikinis, hats and pants through her website.

She is the daughter of Doug Emhoff, who has been married to Vice President Harris since 2014, and calls her stepmother “Momala”, in case you need more proof of how great she was.
