Ms. Harris spent the weekend in California ahead of the Oakland trip. More from The Los Angeles Times:

Harris’ visit, after two private trips to California since becoming vice president, coincided with an Easter weekend stop at her home in Brentwood, where she baked a “beautiful” pork roast and made rice and peas, she said. In Washington, she is in the process of moving into the vice president’s official residence, which has been undergoing renovations, after spending her first few months in the government’s Blair House, across from the White House.

The Vice President visited Red Door Catering , a woman-owned business founded by Reign Free, seen below left.

Week in Review Feb 22 – 27

The week started on a somber note as President Biden led a ceremony marking the 500,000 US lives lost to the COVID pandemic.

More from this PBS story:

The president ordered flags on federal property lowered to half staff for five days and then led the moment of communal mourning for those lost to a virus that often prevents people from gathering to remember their loved ones. Monday’s bleak threshold of 500,000 deaths was playing out against contradictory crosscurrents: an encouraging drop in coronavirus cases and worries about the spread of more contagious variants.

Addressing the “grim, heartbreaking milestone” directly and publicly, Biden stepped to a lectern in the White House Cross Hall, unhooked his face mask and delivered an emotion-filled eulogy for 500,071 Americans he said he felt he knew.

First Lady Jill Biden and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff took part in the ceremony.

Here is a 1-minute video from the event.

Tuesday, February 23, the Vice President had several public engagements. Here you see her with President Biden and Secretary of State Blinken as they participate in a virtual meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Ms. Harris also met with members of the Congressional Black Caucus, including Chairwoman Joyce Beatty, Congresswoman Nikema Williams, Rep Jahana Hayes, Congressman Hakeem Jeffries, and Congressman Emanuel Cleaver II. Below, an image from the Caucus Facebook page.

The Vice President was in a suit that remains unidentified; here you see it when worn on February 4th for a visit to the State Department.

Wednesday, February 24, the Vice President was in blue separates by Altuzarra. Here you see her at an oval office meeting with the President and members of congress.

The Vice President also did the swearing-in of the new Ambassador to the UN, Linda Thomas-Greenfield. The Ambassador’s husband, Lafayette Greenfield, is seen holding the bible, and son Lafayette “Deuce” Greenfield II is shown in the grey suit.

And she did a virtual swearing-in for Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.

The Vice President also taped a call with Astronaut Vic Glover aboard the Space Station.

Another view.

The specific designs worn on Wednesday: Altuzarra’s ‘Fenice’ Jacket and ‘Serge’ Trousers.

Thursday’s public engagements started with a visit to a Giant Foods pharmacy in Washington DC. Also in this photo, Congresswoman Eleanor Norton of the District of Columbia.

Ms. Harris was there to help promote the administration’s Federal Retail Pharmacy Program for COVID-19 vaccination.

She wore her Altuzarra Fenice Jacket and Serge Trousers in black.

The Vice President also attended a White House event marking the 50 millionth vaccine administered under the new administration. Below left, you see President Biden, and on the right, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the White House coronavirus advisor.

Ms. Harris swore-in Jennifer Granholm as the new Secretary of Energy. The Secretary is seen below with her husband, Dan Mulhern.

Friday, February 26, the Vice President made diplomatic phone calls.

She wore a grey jacket we’ve not previously seen with a shoulder vent effect, a dark turtleneck, and gold earrings. Among those she spoke with: Prime Minister Frederiksen of Denmark and President Tshisekedi of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Saturday, the 27th, the Vice President was the keynote speaker at a virtual Black History Month celebration.

The event was hosted by House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD), and it marked the 40th annual celebration.

The Vice President was in a UFO (Unidentified Fashion Object) black blazer with patch pockets and notch lapels, a previously worn Dolce and Gabbana top, and what might be her Altuzarra ‘Luther’ trousers.

In this photo, you better see the lace detail on the top.

You can watch the entire program here via the House Majority Leader’s Facebook page.

One new ID of note this week: an Olivine Gabbro ensemble. You see then-Senator Harris wearing the ensemble at a Congressional Black Caucus Foundation prayer breakfast in September 2018. On her right, Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey.

It has been a busy 10 days since the Vice President’s inauguration, so today, we’re looking at what Ms. Harris has worn since that historic day.

We covered the Prabal Gurung look seen Thursday, January 21 in this post, but thought you might enjoy seeing Ms. Harris in her new office, which aides describe as a work in progress.

Inauguration Guests Style Wrap-up

As promised, here is a look at styles worn by others attending the Inauguration, including former First Ladies Michelle Obama, Laura Bush, and Hillary Clinton. I received so many messages and emails asking about what other guests and family members wore, it made sense to put it all together in one post.

We begin with the former First Ladies.

Three Nights & Three Suits in Wilmington

As the nation watched and waited for election results, Senator Kamala Harris stayed true to her style aesthetic. Each night this week following election day, presidential candidate Joe Biden spoke at the Chase Center in Wilmington, Delaware, with his running mate at his side.

Wednesday night the senator was in a maroon-ish suit with matching shell or top underneath in what looked like a silk charmeuse fabric. Her jewelry included her gold bead necklace; I was unable to see the earrings worn that evening.

Weeks in Review July 5 – 9 & July 12 – 16

I am back with a post combining the last two weeks; the Vice President only had two public engagements the first week of July so I thought it made more sense to combine the weeks into one post. We begin with Thursday, July 8, when Vice President Harris visited her alma mater, Howard University.
