Former Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff were among the luminaries in attendance at Monday’s Met Gala.
The California Democrat and her husband did not appear to walk the event’s red carpet.
Harris wore a custom gown from Off-White, featuring a flowing, floor-length white sleeve and black main dress with a train in cady silks, designed by the company’s creative director IB Kamara, according to Vogue.
Kamara told the magazine that Harris represented the values embedded in this year’s Met Gala theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” and its emphasis on dandyism.
“The true core of dandyism is rooted in confidence and strength,” Kamara said. “There is no person who exemplifies these characteristics more than Kamala D. Harris, someone who has overcome adversity and continues to be a beacon for so many.”
While the Biden administration official opted for a more low-key appearance, with her look appearing in a photo on the Democratic party X account rather than one from the fashion paparazzi, her fellow attendees grabbed major headlines.
Pop star and beauty mogul Rihanna was filmed the day of the event holding a visible baby bump, what would be her third child with musician A$AP Rocky, one of the co-chairs of this year’s gala.
This is a breaking news story and will be updated with new information.
