Another “go-to” designer for the Vice President is Prabal Gurung. Here, you see the Vice President wearing a dress and matching coat by the Nepalese–American designer.
Ms. Harris chose the garnet-colored design for the Inaugural Prayer Service at the White House held the morning after the 2021 Inauguration. Both of the hand-tailored pieces were made in New York City.
The designer posted his reaction to seeing the Vice President in his ensemble on Instagram.
It is nearly impossible to truly sum up the magnitude of this moment for me. To see Vice President @kamalaharris wearing our designs this morning, just one day after being sworn in as the first-ever female, Black, and South Asian American Vice President of the United States of America, is my American Dream coming true all over again.”
My story is one that could only be possible in America: an immigrant who was born in Singapore and raised in Nepal and India coming here – a land of endless possibilities – to pursue their wildest ambitions.
The Vice President wears a variety of pantsuits by Mr. Gurung.
She chose a Prabal Gurung design for the President’s first address to a joint session of Congress in April 2021 (photo on far right above). It was a historic event; for the first time in US history, the President delivered an address while standing in front of two women.
The hand-tailored double crepe suit was a cream color, paired with an ivory silk charmeuse camisole, per the designer. The jacket featured a two-button front closure, flap pockets, notched lapels, and a double back vent. Below, Ms. Harris in the suit at a dinner she hosted for all 24 women serving in the US Senate.

She is a beacon of hope.
