Kamala Harris’ Team Reportedly Blind Sided by Vogue Cover

Kamala Harris Team Blinded by VP Elected Vogue Cover

Kamala Harris’ appearance in Vogue is sparking criticism for appearing casual and “washed out.” On the Vogue cover, Harris is seen sporting a black jacket and Converse sneakers.

The now controversial photograph was not the one she expected to run on the front of the coveted magazine cover. A source familiar with talks said Harris’ team is blindsided by the released cover. The cover originally was supposed to feature her posing in a light blue suit against a gold background.

Furthermore, a seemingly leaked copy of the publication’s February issue cover, shot in front of a pink and green background, began circulating online Sunday. The photo instantly caused rage on social media for appearing poorly lit and styled. In addition to the rage, others suggest the cover is “disrespectful” to the Vice President-elect.

Verified user Charlotte Clymer tweeted, “Folks who don’t get why the Vogue cover of VP-elect Kamala Harris is bad are missing the point. The pic itself isn’t terrible as a pic.”

Some Twitter users claim the cover is fake. However, Vogue confirmed it is legit. Vogue tweeted Sunday the side by side pictures. The one cover that everyone is angry about on the left and the one that Harris’s team expected on the right.

Moreover, you can see the contrast in both covers. The pink cover causing distress can be greater understood. Revealing the second cover showing Harris in a powder blue Michael Kors suit caused more trouble. CNN’s sources say that the VP-elected team expected this outfit to be used as the main cover photo and the casual attire was supposed to appear inside the magazine.

The same source said the Harris team has asked for a new cover. However, the print of the magazine went to press in mid-December.

A spokesperson for Vogue did not comment on the talks between the magazine and the Vice President-elect’s team. However, the source said in an emailed comment that Vogue “loved the images Tyler Mitchell shot.” The source explains that Vogue “felt the more informal image captured Vice President-elect Harris’s authentic, approachable nature.” Furthermore the nature of Harris, according to Vogue, “feel is one of the hallmarks of the Biden/Harris administration.”

“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.”

Overall, people think the cover is not respectful of Harris and her position as vice president. Some think that it reduces her position. Some think the switching of the covers is a jab at our new women in office. What do you guys think? Is the cover with Kamala Harris a feminist issue? Do you guys like the cover Vogue magazine chose?
