I thought maya's hair looked messy and didn't like her pink suit. But also she isn't married to JD Vance so she still wins.

Maya looked stunning. Her she tone is much richer than Kamala’s, her makeup was beautifully done. That pink suit was absolutely gorgeous. I loved it.

It's context-specific dressing and I think it works.

I like the navy column. With the pants and her heels it makes her look taller and more imposing. It's assertive.

I don't know who is doing her styling but they are doing a good job and thinking about it strategically. I'm taking notes. And before you tell me that if it were a man we wouldn't be talking about this -- please google the phrase "looks like a Kennedy" and discover the wide world of men working very very hard to look "presidential" and using fashion and styling to convey power and strength. Fashion is messaging and politics are all about messaging.

I loved it, too. Funny enough my husband, who never notices clothes, said he found the suit frumpy. I strongly disagree.

The jacket and navy column were good but did not like the bow.

I'm not a huge bow fan, but I think it worked with that outfit, and I thought she looked amazing and perfect for the occasion. I don't know how they always get her hair to look so perfect. My hair alone would disqualify me from running for public office.

Wasnt a fan of Maya's suit, but whatever -- the bar for presidential sibling is EXTREMELY low and Maya passes well above it. (Remember Carter's brother? And Clinton's brother?). I would not have had her speak but she's clearly connected and assertive, so it probably had to happen.

Also disappointed in Kerry Washington's outfit -- I loved it, but it looked too casual/young for the event. Almost seemed like someone told her at the last minute she should wear white, and so she grabbed something cream out of her closet.

Big Gretch looked AMAZING. Love her so much. She somehow has solved the Hilary Clinton dilemma of the very strong woman who speakers her mind but doesn't seem like she's nagging or talking down to people. Not sure she'll ever have her moment for the White House, but I hope we see a lot more of her over the coming decades.

you tell me this woman is not gen x - those chucks say she is

That is not very presidential…wow.

LOL, what are presidential shoes exactly? I love this woman dressing for comfort and not because some white man or woman is dictating what she should wear. Stay true to yourself, Kamala-ben!

OMG, and you're bringing race into it because, why? Nvm, not at all interested. There are tons of cute flats that would look a whole lot more presidential than a pair of Chucks.

Oh please, we all know the type of person you are (and how old you are, LOL).

What's wrong with wearing fun, comfortable shoes? What is unpresidential about that? There's no presidential dress code, as far as I know.

And it’s clear you’re a ridiculous Gen Zer. No, chucks are not presidential, period. No wonder people don’t take you seriously. Grow up.

Actually, I'm solidly Gen X, about 10 years younger than VP Harris. Plenty of people take me seriously. I don't own a pair of Converse All Stars because I don't find them comfortable. Like VP Harris, I wear sneakers or other comfortable shoes when I'm commuting or in the office and switch into heels for major events. Most of my peers do the same, and have done so for years. Any other questions or thoughts?

I didn't love Maya's hair, it covered up half of her face (very similar to Usha's look, but at least Maya brushed her hair, it was perfectly straight and barely moved). But the suit was great, her make up was subtle but well done. I'm thankful she is not running her sister's campaign, she was horrible at it, LOL!

it would make sense that she is constantly swtiching between the two.

people also somehow made fun of hillarys suits and obamas summer suit

Sure, of course she needs comfortable shoes in between wearing heels. How about some Rothy’s or something similar? Chucks just scream unserious.

Are these better presidential looks for you, sweetie?





Really want to know what Converse did to hurt you!

Yes, I hated it.

DP - Obama looks amazing but the embroidered name and office on his windbreaker cracks me up. In case someone forgot who he was?? Ha.

Whitmer is extremely pretty. It's not the look she's trying to project, but if she weren't a politician and could dress and be styled in a regular flattering way, she would be very striking.

Same. I personally do not like the bow look. It seems very in now, but will be super dated/cringy again soon. At least it was all one color.

I did really like the cut of her suit, including the slight flare of the pants. She looked fantastic - neither frumpy nor showy.

I hope she sticks with her long-time lawyer look. She doesn't need to change a thing. But I do hope she has fun with the formal wear!! Nothing overly "fashion-y" - it doesn't seem to fit her brand. I just hope she feels free to choose whatever colors, fits, and textures she likes. She's beautiful and should enjoy it.

First, whatever she wants.

But, since you asked my opinion:

U.S. Presidents dress like big law lawyers and Wall Street CEOs, so whatever female big law lawyers wear is fine. Which is what she does. I hope she doesn't feel constrained to wear just pants if she doesn't want to, but if that's what she likes, fine. There are some amazing high end women's workwear designers out there. Give them some time in the limelight!

At gala level events, I would hope she breaks out and wears some awesome gowns as female Prime Ministers around the world do. No reason not to, unless that's not her style.

I always thinks she looks great at the formal events, in part because she doesn't try to invent herself as someone totally different wearing different clothes (like some flowy chiffon floral thing), and in part because she seems to actually like her date. Joe, Barack and Kamala actually all seem to really like hanging out with their spouse, which I'm sure helps a lot at these stressful formal dinners. That was also probably true of Laura and George.

Big Gretch definitely has had a glow up in recent years.
