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.
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.
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.
George and Barbara Bush were also very much in love and it showed when they were together.
I thought it was pretty much an open secret that George Bush had a mistress?
Every man in power has had a mistress.

I am not a lawyer, and I think she looks great. I like that she smiles a lot, it lights up her face. Her clothes are professional, elegant and do not distract from the position she has, or the one she's aiming for.
I wish both sides would get more into the nitty gritty policies, but I understand that it's not in either of their interests right now.

Doing that while wearing a skirt suit or dress and stilettos does not sound comfortable to me at all. I don't like pant suits, but I 100% would rather be wearing pants if that were my day. Standing up - sitting down - standing up - sitting down. Yeah, pants please.

Right. She’s not a great dresser at all
I'm a middle aged female lawyer, and I think Kamala's fashion is fantastic. Love the pantsuits, the Manolo Blahniks, and yes, even the Chucks.
I too stopped wearing skirt suits years ago. I just wear pantsuits now, and I don't think I'm ever going to go back.
Same, pp. It seems pretty clear that the vast majority of negative posters really have no idea how an actual lawyer dresses.
