Kamala Harris is coming into her own with her political, working wardrobe and she recently wore the most stunning black sequin dress as she took to the stage alongside the former President, Joe Biden.
All eyes were on her custom, fancy frock was designed by LaQuan Smith, an up and coming Black American designer. The event that Kamala was speaking at was the CBC Foundation’s 2024 Phoenix Awards dinner, which celebrates and highlights Black excellence, so the glittering style was a great choice.
We adored the avant garde high neckline, full sleeves and of course, the plethora of black sequins which looked incredible on the 59-year-old.
The designer spoke to Harper's Bazaar and remarked on what an honour it was to dress the Vice President. "Having my designs worn by Vice President Kamala Harris is both a profound honour and a testament to the hard work and dedication that have gone into building my brand.

It reaffirms my belief in the power of fashion to make a statement and inspire, and it motivates me to continue pushing the boundaries of creativity and elegance in my work.”
