“Vogue” has finally released a statement on the Kamala Harris situation. As we told you, the Vice President-elect is the cover model for the February issue. Apparently neither the Harris camp nor the fans are happy with the image of her in a black blazer and pants with a white shirt and Converse that was used for the cover
Additionally, Harris’ camp – while not asking for photo approval – thought the image of her in the powder blue suit would be on the cover. According to a source, “In this moment where the country is so divided, where we need serious leaders, the blue and gold shot represents that. [The other image] would never have been approved, and Harris’ team is extremely disappointed.”
Now the magazine has responded. “The team at ‘Vogue’ loved the images Tyler Mitchell shot and felt the more informal image captured Vice President-elect Harris’s authentic, approachable nature – which we feel is one of the hallmarks of the Biden/Harris administration,” the statement reads. “To respond to the seriousness of this moment in history, and the role she has to play leading our country forward, we’re celebrating both images of her as covers digitally.”
