About

BACKGROUND: What Kamala Wore was established by journalist Susan E. Kelley after Kamala Harris was announced as Joe Biden’s running mate. Kelley, the founder of What Kate Wore and other royal fashion sites, is a journalist who spent seventeen years in television, almost all of them in news. Kelley is working with Susan Courter, founder of What Meghan Wore. The site philosophy is simple: to cover the Senator’s fashion and style choices respectfully, while also developing a resource for those interested in the topic.  This is not a site for political debate, and What Kamala Wore is not affiliated in any way with Ms. Harris or the Biden/Harris campaign. 

WHY WHAT KAMALA WORE? Kamala Harris is a highly accomplished lawyer, dedicated public servant, political trailblazer, and now Vice President of the United States.  As she said in a video posted on Twitter, “I was raised to take action.” Millions follow her public appearances.  Her style choices are also scrutinized.  As a district attorney, attorney general, United States senator, and Vice President, Ms. Harris has proven she understands the unspoken messages her wardrobe can send.  She knows what it is like under the media microscope and recognizes fashion choices can serve to underscore spoken messages and act as a tool to amplify those messages. Coverage of the Senator’s sartorial choices does not diminish her accomplishments and agenda in any way. Fashion can build bridges, providing an additional way to connect with voters, potential donors, and the general public. Strategic clothing and accessory selections are but another tool in maximizing the Vice President’s brand.  

COMMENTS: This is not the place to discuss politics, and it is not a political forum.  We welcome comments about the candidate’s style choices; comments on politics, those designed to incite or inflame, those containing vulgarities, personal attacks, and other inappropriate content will not be published.  Comments responding to others should be made in the same way you would speak to someone in person, politely. A good guideline when commenting: “When in doubt, leave it out.” Please see our comment policy here for greater detail, including information on those subjects we steer clear of on the site.

PRIVACY: Please see our detailed privacy policy here.

PHOTOS: We use licensed photos and images publicly shared by the campaign, the candidates and their families, and other third parties. Licensed images are purchased from international photo agencies; you will generally see these credited in the caption and/or watermarked on the photo. In some cases, pictures we use are in the public domain, or the individual who took them has granted permission.

LINKS/AFFILIATE MARKETING: We do the best we can to provide links to retailers where you can purchase styles Senator Harris has worn. In some cases, we receive compensation in the form of a commission from links to external sites.  That revenue is used to pay photo licensing fees and recurring monthly costs for site hosting, site security, and other backend functions. 10% of net profits from the site will be donated to the HBCU Foundation in support of Historically Black Colleges and Universities.  (A small donation has already been made to the Foundation.)
