Month in Review: FEBRUARY 2022

February started with a discussion about possible SCOTUS nominees to fill Justice Stephen Breyer’s seat; the Justice is retiring at the end of this term. Below, the Vice President and President meeting on January 1st with Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) and ranking member Chuck Grassley(R-IA).

Ms, Harris wore an olive/khaki suit believed to be by Dolce and Gabbana.

On February 2, the Vice President joined the President and others for an event announcing the administration’s efforts to “reignite a cancer moonshot to end cancer as we know it.” This is a subject close to the Vice President’s heart as many readers are aware; her mother, Shyamala Gopalan, spent her career in breast cancer research. Below you see the Vice President and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff with Dr. Edjah Nduom, Associate Professor, Department of Neurosurgery, Emory University School of Medicine.

Ms. Harris’s remarked at the event, “…my whole life, I stood witness as my mother, a scientist, worked to end breast cancer.”

 Also on the 2nd, a meeting with the National Security Council about the elimination of ISIS leader Hajji Abdullah.

It looked like the Vice President was in her Tom Ford blazer ($3750) and pants, both done in a classic Prince of Wales check pattern.

The Vice President’s jacket has three buttons instead of the two shown in the product photo above, and her trousers have a slimmer cut than those seen above.

On the 3rd, the Vice President and President attended the National Prayer Breakfast. Ms. Harris also hosted a virtual swearing-in with HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra of members of the President’s Advisory Commission on Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders.

The Vice President wore the Proenza Schouler suit first noted during her trip to Paris and then seen again at the lighting of the National Menorah on December 1, 2021. Below, the Technical Wool Long-Line Blazer (originally $1889, on sale for $756).

February 4th the Vice President traveled to Maryland with President Biden, Labor Secretary Marty Walsh, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, and others.

They visited Ironworkers Local 5 in Upper Marlboro, where the President signed an executive order on labor agreements.

Ms. Harris wore her Altuzarra Kenton jacket and Serge trousers.

Saturday, February 5, Ms. Harris and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff did some shopping, making a stop at the iconic Jessie Taylor Seafood market.

Thank you for supporting our local businesses, @VP and @SecondGentleman! We hope you enjoy your fresh seafood from @jessie_seafood at the Municipal Fish Market. #TheWharfDC pic.twitter.com/2z9xwaq1ck

— The Wharf (@TheWharfDC) February 5, 2022

Doug Emhoff posted a photo of the duo as they were out and about, with the caption, “Nothing beats a Saturday market walk with your favorite chef.”

Ms. Harris also did some shopping at the District Doughnut shop at The Wharf.

Not every day that @VP stops by at @TheWharfDC! And for those curious, she bought lots of Funfetti Bites. #HappinessFound pic.twitter.com/LyHKQzBly5

— District Doughnut ? (@DCDoughnut) February 5, 2022

It looked like the Vice President wore her Moncler ‘Vaneau’ Puffer Coat (original retail was $1245; the item is no longer available) in the brand’s signature quilted fabric.

She was also sporting what appeared to be a new pair of boots that I have not yet had time to try and identify.

February 8, Vice President Harris delivered remarks encouraging Americans to sign up for the Expanded Child Tax Credit & Earned Income Tax Credit.

The Vice President was in her Dolce and Gabbana Micro-Check Print Blazer ($1437, originally $2395) and the Straight Leg Houndstooth Trousers ($525, originally $875) with her black Pleated Silk-Blend Blouse ($595) from the Michael Kors Collection line.

On the 10th of February, Ms. Harri joined the President and Democrats from the Senate Judiciary Committee to discuss the Supreme Court nomination.

The Vice President wore her Dolce and Gabbana pinstripe suit and a blouse I couldn’t see well enough to identify.

The next day, February 11, Vice President Harris traveled to Newark, NJ.

Below, the Vice President and EPA head Michael Regan are welcomed by Governor Murphy.

More from The Root’s story by Murjani Rawls.

Together, they highlighted how successful the city of Newark has been in changing its lead pipes and improving the water supply. In 2019, Newark had a lead crisis where bottled water had to be handed out because the quality was terrible. Now, the replacement of 23,000 lines is almost done with no cost to citizens.

Ms, Harris hosted a roundtable discussion with “Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan, Gov. Phil Murphy, Mayor Ras Baraka, and other officials and residents, per ABC News.

Some of you may recall that on an October 2021 trip to Newark, the Vice President met a young woman named Ulani, doing her homework at a cupcake shop (seen below).

Ms. Harris saw Ulani again on this trip and got an update on how she was doing.

The Vice President wore the olive/khaki suit believed to be by Dolce and Gabbana referenced above in the entry for January 1.

On Valentine’s Day, the Second Gentleman posted this photo on social media with the caption, “Life is always brighter by your side. Happy Valentine’s Day, @VP.”

This photo was posted on the Vice President’s social media accounts on Valentine’s Day with the caption, “No better partner to have on this incredible journey. Happy Valentine’s Day, @SecondGentleman.”

It was taken January 21, 2021, at some point after the presidential inaugural prayer service at the White House. Vice President Harris was in an ensemble by Prabal Gurung.

February 16th, Ms. Harris performed a ceremonial swearing-in ceremony with the new Chair of the Export-Import Bank, Reta Jo Lewis (shown below). She did the same with Cynthia Telles, the new Ambassador to Costa Rica.

On the 17th, the Vice President traveled to Munich, Germany.

She was there to take part in the annual Munich Security Conference, described by the New York Times as “a way for Western leaders to discuss threats and dangers in an informal setting.” Ms. Harris headed the US delegation at the conference, which included members of Congress and other officials. Senators in attendance included Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN). Below, the Vice President with members of the US delegation on February 18.

Also on the 18th, the Vice President met with heads of Baltic States including Estonia Prime Minister Kaja Kallas, Latvian President Egils Levits, and the President of Lithuania, Gitanas Nauseda.

The Vice President also met with NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg.

It looked like the Vice President was in her black Turlington jacket and coordinating trousers by Dolce and Gabbana.

She wore what I believe is a Michael Kors Collection blouse. Below left, Ms. Harris wears the Pleated Silk-Blend Blouse in black; today’s piece looks like that design but in a heavier fabric with more widely spaced pleats.

On February 19, Vice President Harris met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

A formal photo op with the Ukrainian President.

Ms. Harris also delivered remarks at the conference on the 19th.

The Vice President appeared to be in her Dolce and Gabbana separates again with a new (to me) chocolate brown blouse.

February 20th Ms. Harris spoke with members of the media.

Below, the Vice President boarding Air Force Two to head back home.

It looked like the Vice President was in another of her Dolce and Gabbana suits. Vice President Harris wore what appeared to be a new coat (seen above), a Dolce and Gabbana style. The Belted Double-Breasted Crepe Coat ($3345) is made in a blend of virgin wool and viscose.

The design features peak lapels, box pleats, and a self-belt. Below, closeups of the tailored piece.

February 23 Vice President Harris met with officers from the National Black Caucus of State Legislators to discuss voting rights and other issues.

She wore the Dolce and Gabbana’s micro-check jacket and trousers with a black top.

On February 24, Vice President Harris took part in a National Security Council meeting about Ukraine.

The Vice President did two swearing-in ceremonies on the 24th: one for the new ambassador to the Vatican, Joseph Donnelly, and the other for Scott Nathan in his new role as CEO of the US International Development Finance Corporation and another. Following the Scott Nathan ceremony, Vice President Harris also spoke briefly to the media about the Russian attack on Ukraine. From a transcript of her remarks:

I want to be clear that we know and believe that this is a war of choice.  It is unprovoked, it is unwarranted, and it is unjustified.
 
As the President made clear from the beginning: If Russia were to take aggressive action against Ukraine, our response would be swift and certain.  And that is, in fact, what has occurred.

The Vice President was in her Dolce and Gabbana Turlington Blazer ($2595) and matching pants. Beneath the jacket, she appeared to be wearing her Luxe Charmeuse Reversible Perla Blouse in navy ($239 on sale) by Lafayette 148 New York.

On February 25, Ms. Harris joined President Biden as he announced his nominee for the Supreme Court, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson.

If confirmed, Ms. Jackson, would be the first Black woman on the Supreme Court. She would also be the first Justice to have served as a public defender.   From the President’s remarks.

And I’ve been fortunate to have the advice of the — Vice President Harris — and I mean this sincerely — an exceptional lawyer, a former Attorney General of California, and a former member of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

[Judge Jackson] has served both in public service as a federal public defender — a federal public defender and in private law practice as an accomplished lawyer in pr- — with a prestigious law firm.
 
If confirmed, she will join Justice Sotomayor as the only other member of the United States Supreme Court who has experience as a trial court judge –- a critical qualification, in my view.

From Judge Jackson’s remarks:

“If I’m fortunate enough to be confirmed as the next associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States,” Judge Jackson said in her own set of remarks, “I can only hope that my life and career, my love of this country and the Constitution and my commitment to upholding the rule of law and the sacred principles upon which this great nation was founded, will inspire future generations of Americans.”

Vice President Harris wore the Tom Ford jacket and trousers discussed above (the February 2nd entry).

On February 28 the Vice President joined the President, Dr. Jill Biden, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, Cabinet members, members of the Congressional Black Caucus, Civil Rights leaders, Divine Nine leadership, and many others for a White House celebration marking Black History Month.

From the Vice President’s remarks:

 Black History Month was established to teach the history that too often has not been taught: the history of Black excellence and leadership in America — (applause) — and also the history of resistance and resilience in America.  

And we are clear: Black history is American history.  It is living, breathing history — history we create every day. 

So, there is a lot to celebrate.  There is a lot to look forward to.  There is a lot to work toward.  And in remembering our history, we remember those great American heroes who continue to inspire and motivate us, who continue to remind us through our memory of them and their contribution and sacrifice what our role and responsibility is at this moment in history.

The Vice President was in her black Dolce and Gabbana suit with a top I haven’t seen well enough to identify.

Week in Review Nov 15 – Nov 20

Monday, November 15, Vice President Harris started the week with meetings in her office and delivering remarks at the signing of the administration’s Bipartisan Infrastructure bill. Below, the Vice President and San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria in her West Wing office on Monday.

Then it was time for the signing of the bill.

A sizable number of guests were on hand to witness the signing—more from The Washington Post’s coverage.

Members of Congress, governors, mayors, state and local elected officials, as well as labor leaders, business leaders and other stakeholders, sat before a dais that included 30 key players from both sides of the aisle and representing diverse communities across America.A sizable

The Vice President was in a jacket we saw last week that is very similar to Altuzarra’s ‘Acacia’ blazer, with matching trousers. Beneath the jacket, it looked like Ms. Harris was in the Cecile matte silk blouse by Lafayette 148 New York.

Tuesday, the 16th, the Vice President took part in the White House Tribal Nations Summit.

In a Tweet, the Vice President said she spoke about the “Build Back Better Act and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law will make major investments in clean water, transportation, childcare and housing in Tribal communities.”

Ms. Harris wore what looked like her black Dolce and Gabbana blazer and pants and an unidentified burgundy or maroon top.

Thursday, the 18th, was a busy day. Vice President Harris joined the president and others for the signing of “three bipartisan bills that expand benefits for the nations law enforcement officers and first responders along with the communities they serve,” per this PBS story.

The Vice President then met with Mexico’s President, Andrés Manuel López Obrador.

Above, on the balcony outside the Vice President’s ceremonial office.

The Mexican President was in town for the first ‘North American Leaders’ Summit’ with President Biden and Canada’s Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau. He also met separately with Vice President Harris.

Next on the agenda, a visit with the Canadian Prime Minister.

The Vice President also had a separate meeting with Mr. Trudeau. She said they discussed “global challenges, migration, and ways we can further deepen our economic relations.”

Vice President Harris wore more Altuzarra separates, the brand’s Kenton Jacket & either the Serge or Zeke Trouser, all in navy blue. It also appeared she had on her Luxe Charmeuse Reversible Perla Blouse ($328) by Lafayette 148 New York.

Friday, November 19, the Vice President traveled to Ohio with Labor Secretary Marty Walsh.

They visited the Plumbers and Pipefitters Union Local 189.

More from The Columbus Dispatch.

Vice President Kamala Harris visited Columbus on Friday to sell the newly-signed infrastructure deal to Ohioans as Democrats consider a separate spending plan that would fund climate efforts and social services.

In an interview with USA TODAY Network Ohio, Harris said the infrastructure law will help fund apprenticeship programs and repair damaged roads like Interstates 70 and 71.

“People have to drive over potholes or roads or bridges that are in disrepair,” she said. “That means you’re getting a flat tire. You’re getting something stuck in your tire. It’s expensive to replace tires. Insurance doesn’t do that. And the reality of it is that it slows down the ability of people to get to work, to get to their kids.”

Friday was a historic day as the Vice President became the first woman to hold US presidential powers. President Biden transferred those powers to her for about 90 minutes while he underwent a routine colonoscopy.

It appeared Ms. Harris wore her black Dolce and Gabbana separates and a brown top that remains unidentified.

Also, last week, photos were released of the Vice President and Second Gentleman as they affixed a Mezuzah to the door frame of the Vice Presidential residence at the Naval Observatory.

More from The Atlanta Jewish Times.

History was made as a mezuzah, loaned by Atlanta’s oldest Jewish congregation, was affixed to the Naval Observatory House.

This is the first time that a mezuzah — which contains a tiny scroll with texts from the Book of Deuteronomy, denoting the house as a sacred space — has hung at an American executive residence. The injunction to post a mezuzah — “inscribe them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates” — is found in Deuteronomy 6:9.

“It was a small private ceremony, a really personal moment,” Berg said, including just Harris, Emhoff, and Emhoff’s parents, Barbara and Michael Emhoff, who had not seen their son throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. “They had never seen him in this role in person,” as the Second Gentleman. “That’s why the service was so emotional. The Jewish parents standing there, shepping naches for their son, the Second Gentleman. It was such a beautiful moment,” Berg said, using the Yiddish phrase for “deriving pride.”

Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff shared the photos on social media, saying, “For us, and for everyone, Thanksgiving is a time for reflection on the past year. One of my favorite memories was when our family visited and together we hung a mezuzah on the front door of the Vice President’s Residence.”

Paris Week in Review November 8 – 13

Vice President Harris and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff spent most of last week in Paris. Ms. Harris debuted several new looks and engaged in some sartorial diplomacy. Advance warning: this is a rather long post.

Before we get to that trip, a quick look at the Vice President on Monday, November 8. Below you see her with two members of the Milwaukee Bucks, Brook Lopez (L) and Jrue Holliday (R). The Bucks visited the White House on Monday, where they were honored as NBA champs.

Now to the Paris trip. Below, the Vice President and Second Gentleman as they arrived at Orly Airport on Tuesday, November 9.

Weeks in Review Oct 25 – 29 and Nov 1 – 5

Vice President Harris started the week of October 25th with a familiar look, wearing a longtime UFO suit for a meeting with national environmental and climate organization leaders.

The suit dates back many years, and we continue to search for an ID.

Thursday, October 28, the Vice President joined President Biden as he delivered remarks about the administration’s Build Back Better agenda and legislation.

Here you see the duo shortly after the President’s speech.

Ms. Harris also met virtually with mayors of several US cities on Thursday.

Friday, the 29th, the Vice President took part in a Democratic National Committe event on the Build Back Better legislation. That evening she spoke at a rally for Terry McAuliffe, running to regain the Virginia Governor’s office.

The Vice President appeared to be wearing her Micro Check Print Blazer ($1437, originally $2395) and Straight Leg Houndstooth Trousers ($525, originally $875) by Dolce and Gabbana that we first noted back in January of this year.

Beneath the jacket, she had on a black turtleneck. Ms. Harris also wore her Manolo Blahnik Dildi boots, seen below when worn last winter.

Saturday, October 30, Vice President Harris received her COVID vaccination booster shot.

She was in pieces she has worn previously.

Vice President Harris traveled to New York City on Monday with Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm. They received a briefing on NYC’s fleet of Zero-Emission SuperTrucks and the city’s investments in commercial electric vehicles.

More about the visit from UPI’s story:

Vice President Kamala Harris joined Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm in New York on Monday to announce nearly $200 million for projects to produce cleaner cars and trucks.

The pair appeared at JFK Airport to announce the commitment to fund 25 projects, including long-haul trucks powered by batteries and fuel cells and improving electric vehicle charging infrastructure in the United States.

Harris added the government will also partner with private companies to “drive innovation in electric heat pumps.”

Below you see Secretary Granholm and the Vice President; on the right, Civilian Climate Corps Member Joshua Krupa and BlocPower CEO Donnel Baird. BlocPower is a Brooklyn-based energy technology startup working to make buildings more energy-efficient.

Another view of Secretary Granholm and Vice President Harris.

And here you see the Vice President posing for a photo with staffers on the advance team for the NYC trip.

The Vice President was in an unidentified black suit she has worn for several years and a dark green top that is also UFO (Unidentified Fashion Object).

Friday night the Vice President was in a dress by Sergio Hudson for the National Action Network’s 30th-anniversary celebration at Carnegie Hall.

The event also marked Reverend Al Sharpton’s 67th birthday; the Reverend is the founder of the National Action Network. More about the event via Rachel Pilgrim’s story for The Root.

Vice President Harris delivered the keynote address to a room that included NAN honorees, state and local officials and families representing several victims of police brutality. Outside of talking about what’s next for the Biden-Harris administration’s agenda, such as the Build Back Better Framework, Harris focused on an issue that will be looming over voting polls today: voting rights.

The Vice President was in the Signature Dress ($1295), part of the Sergio Hudson Signature Essentials collection. It is crafted from a stretch crepe made of a triacetate/polyester blend and lined with stretch silk. The pencil-style piece showcases a structured design in a midi length. It features a round neck, concealed back zipper, and hidden zippers at the sleeve.

Here is a closer look at some of the details.

The Vice President accessorized with her Manolo Blahnik BB105 pumps in black patent ($665).

On Wednesday, November 3, the Vice President traveled to Capitol Hill for another procedural vote on the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.

The Vice President also had office meetings. Below, with Todd Gloria, Mayor of San Diego.

Ms. Harris wore an unidentified dark grey suit and a blouse that looks like a design by Lafayette 148 New York, the brand’s Cecile Tie-Neck Blouse ($498).

Friday, the 5th, Ms. Harris visited NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. The center is in Maryland, just a few miles north of Washington, DC.

According to a NASA news release, “the vice president met with scientists and engineers to discuss how NASA’s broad portfolio of Earth science missions helps address the climate challenges facing our world.”

She also operated a robotic arm in the Center’s Robotics Operations Center.

Vice President Harris was in separates by Altuzarra, the brand’s Kenton Jacket & what looked like the Serge Pants ($795).  Beneath the jacket, she appeared to have on her Charmeuse Reversible Perla Blouse ($328) by Lafayette 148 New York.

On Saturday, November 6, the Vice President joined the President as he delivered remarks on the passage of the administration’s infrastructure bill.

Vice President Harris was in the khaki/olive suit we first noted back in October. Below, another view from today.

The suit looks like several Dolce and Gabbana styles worn by Ms. Harris and has many of the elements seen in those designs: a jacket with peaked lapels, three flap pockets, and double back vents with a tailored straight leg trouser.

Throughout both weeks, Ms. Harris wore her Tahitian pearl necklace and stud earrings.

Monday, the 8th, Vice President Harris and Second Gentleman Doug Harris travel to Paris, France, where they will be until Saturday, the 13th. The Vice President “will pursue US efforts to strengthen a recently mended French-American relationship… she will also attend a pair of international conferences” per this CNN piece.

Week in Review: April 5 – April 10

The Vice President started the week with engagements in Oakland, California. It was the first time she has visited her hometown since becoming Vice President.

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.

We have been fighting this pandemic for far too long, but we have to resist becoming numb to the sorrow. Because in order to heal, we must remember. pic.twitter.com/FOmIfI2JX6

— President Biden (@POTUS) February 24, 2021

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.

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

I spoke with @NASA Astronaut and @USNavy Commander Victor J.

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.

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.
