Kamala Harris’ team says it was blindsided by Vogue cover
- Instead of the powder blue power suit Harris wore for her cover shoot, she is instead seen in more casual attire
- Harris’ team was unaware that the cover photo had been switched until images leaked late on Saturday
US Vice President-elect Kamala Harris has landed on the cover of the February issue of Vogue magazine, but her team says there’s a problem: the shot of the country’s soon-to-be No 2 leader isn’t what both sides had agreed upon, her team says.
Harris’ team was unaware that the cover photo had been switched until images leaked late Saturday, according to a person involved in the negotiations over how Harris would be featured on the cover. Harris’ office declined to comment and the person spoke Sunday on condition of anonymity.
Representatives for Vogue did not respond on Sunday to emailed requests for comment.
Harris, who is of Jamaican and Indian descent, posed in the light blue suit in front of a gold backdrop for the magazine’s cover. She also posed, more casually dressed in slacks, a blazer and sneakers in front of a pink and green background, for photos that were planned for inside the magazine, the person said. Pink and green are the colours of Harris’ college sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha.
