00:00Vice President Kamala Harris' stepdaughter, Ella Emhoff, has brought her fashion A-game
00:05to the 2024 DNC, rocking some surprisingly eclectic styles.
00:10Harris made a splash with her tan suit on the first day of the Democratic National Convention,
00:15but it's Ella who was really going bold. The 25-year-old hit the DNC to support her stepmom
00:19in its first two days in two very different ensembles. Her camo cap stole the spotlight
00:25on Monday night, but it was her Tuesday night look that proved that her style is as versatile
00:29as it is bold.
00:30As her stepmom's race for the White House heats up and her dad, Doug Emhoff, prepares
00:34for the possibility of becoming the first-ever First Gentleman of the United States, Ella
00:39is showing her support. On Monday night, her camouflage print baseball cap with vivid orange
00:44letters spelling Harris Walls made for a bold statement. She paired it with an understated
00:48cream-colored helmet-laying sleeveless top and coordinating pleated pants.
00:52Ella's hat is the hottest piece of Harris and Tim Walls merch at the moment. Camouflage
00:56may be designed to blend in, but this camo cap has stolen the spotlight, and for good
01:01reason.
01:02On August 6th, Harris shared a video of herself formally asking Walls to be her running mate.
01:06The Minnesota governor agreed while sporting a camouflage baseball cap.
01:09Let's do it. Do the work in front of us. Let's win this thing.
01:13Walls' cap took off on social media, and in response, the campaign began selling their
01:17own version on its official site for $40 a pop. Proclaiming, with a slight dig at Donald
01:22Trump's MAGA hats, you asked, we answered, the most iconic political hat in America.
01:27According to Teen Vogue, the hat was only on the website for 30 minutes before it was
01:30completely sold out, making almost $1 million. Evidently, this hat now holds quite a bit
01:36of meaning, and Emhoff has proven that it's also the perfect fashion statement. According
01:40to the campaign website, the hat will be restocked on September 30th.
01:44While her Day 1 look was streamlined yet playful, Ella rocked an entirely different vibe on
01:49She sported a blue-plaid Tom Brown suit with a red, white, and blue strip on each arm.
01:54She paired it with a white button-down shirt and navy blue tie, and rather than sporting
01:58curls like she did under her hat on Monday, Ella wore her bob straight to complement her
02:02fun patriotic look. Ella's two looks were so contrasting that she almost looked like
02:07two different people, yet she managed to pull them both off equally effortlessly.
02:11It's no surprise that Ella is showing off some of her best looks at the DNC and flaunting
02:15the complexity of her style. Emhoff is more than a major fashion fan — she's a fashion
02:20designer. Her penchant for bold, surprising looks has earned her an outstanding reputation
02:24in the fashion world. In a 2021 interview with Elle, she explained,
02:28"...growing up, I never saw myself as someone stylish at all. Obviously, I loved fashion
02:33and cared a lot about it, but I was really into doing my own thing."
02:37"...my mom was super into fashion, so I'd always play dress-up in her closet, and I'd
02:41always wear her high heels."
02:42Embracing her own unique style has earned Ella a lot of attention. She said,
02:46"...I was able to stick with my true instincts when it came to style, and it actually paid
02:50off."
02:51She says that her style is just wearing clothes that you feel good in, and not worrying about
02:54what others think. To her point, had Emhoff not followed her own instincts, her DNC looks
02:59likely wouldn't be turning quite as many heads. Ella is no stranger to turning heads, as she's
03:03known to strut her stuff in a high-fashion look. She's also a model, having walked in
03:08New York Fashion Week, hit the Met Gala red carpet, and even graced the cover of Dust
03:12magazine wearing one of her own designs.
