Decoding the outfit Ms. Harris wore in her concession speech

TPO - In her first public speech to the American public since losing the 2024 presidential election, Kamala Harris appeared in her signature suit style. With her dark purple outfit and accessories, observers said she sent a signal that her commitments remain unwavering.

Speaking at her alma mater, Howard University (Washington DC), Vice President Harris expressed a positive attitude after losing to Mr. Donald Trump in the race to the White House.

Working with stylist Leslie Fremar, Ms. Harris wore a Tory Burch coat with square shoulders and straight-leg pants in a deep purple color. Broad-shouldered suits are a power suit favored by many women, from politics to business to entertainment, and they also made up a large part of the Vice President's campaign wardrobe. In her final concession speech, Marie Claire said the color of her outfit also reflected her tone: "When she called on Americans who voted for her not to give up, she chose to wear purple, a color that blends the colors of the two major American political parties. Blue for the Democrats, red for the Republicans into a unified shade." For accessories, Ms. Harris prioritized minimalist items, not pearl necklaces or Tiffany earrings, but instead small stud earrings and a gold necklace. The most visible accessory was the American flag pin fastened to the lapel. What softened her outfit was the ascot tie – similar to a scarf but more free-flowing than a traditional tie. The accessory reminded observers of the large bow ties – a symbol of feminism – she often wore them at important public events. In the context of her speech, the ascot tie conveyed the message that the fight for women's rights continues.

The nearly 11-minute speech by the US Vice President emphasized her wish for her supporters to always be optimistic despite the disappointment of the election results. "Today, my heart is full, full of gratitude for the trust you have placed in me, full of love for our country and determination. This result is not the result we wanted, not what we fought for or voted for, but listen to me, the future of America will always shine brightly, as long as we never give up." Before this speech, Kamala Harris ' final campaign outfit was shaped by a combination of Capitol Hill clothes and casual denim. The outfits she combined black, navy and coconut brown blazers with comfortable flared jeans.
