100 Days of Vice-Presidential Style

Kamala Harris doesn’t want to talk about clothes. Neither does Jill Biden. You can understand why. But lots of people still want to know what they are wearing.

On April 28, when President Joseph R. Biden delivers his address to the joint session of Congress, with Vice President Kamala Harris at his shoulder and Jill Biden and Douglas Emhoff watching from the balcony, it will mark the first high-profile public appearance of the first and second families since the inauguration. President Biden, of course, will be the only one speaking. That doesn’t mean the other three will have nothing to say. It is on exactly these occasions of state that image-making comes into its own, that costume becomes a key part of political theater.
