When fashion enthusiasts and experts say that dressing up is an art, they don’t imply spending a dime on clothes and accessories is the way to go. A good sense of fashion comes from the knowledge of what to wear, where to wear it, and how to wear it—here, ‘wearing’ means the way one carries one’s attire. For the 2024 presidential elections, the candidates tried to gain their foothold in the public domain through their fashion statements.
Any politician, public figure, or celebrity who is always in the headlines, the general public chases and looks up to them. Their attire and speech reflect their persona. The colors, shades, pairings, and accessories one chooses make a statement. The 2024 presidential elections were marked with a competitive spirit.
5 best fashion moments from the 2024 presidential elections in the US
The leading candidates participating in the 2024 presidential elections in the US, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, were under the spotlight for wisely choosing their attire for the campaigns. From Harris’ dresses to Trump’s signature pantsuits, here are the 5 best fashion moments from the 2024 presidential elections:
1) Kamala Harris wearing a glittery black LaQuan Smith
Kamala Harris’ unique style has evolved from simplistic, formal, elegant suits paired with a pearl necklace and pumps to fashionable and classy gowns. During the 2024 presidential elections, she graced the evening with a classic black, shimmery LaQuan Smith gown. She wore the dress to the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s 53rd Annual Legislative Conference Annual Phoenix Awards Dinner at Walter E. Washington Convention Center.
2) Donald Trump and JD Vance together in similar attires
US President Donald Trump has no particular fashion statement, which is his statement in itself. Trump is one of those conservative Republican politicians who often dresses up in his signature baggy-fit pantsuits, notably the unofficial Make America Great Again uniform.
In September 2024, Donald Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance were seen wearing similar suits while attending a 9/11 remembrance ceremony at the World Trade Center at Ground Zero in New York City. The outfits consisted of tailored dark blue suits, red ties, white shirts, and dark shoes. The uniform outfits grabbed a lot of attention and highlighted their spirit.
3) Kamala Harris in a “coconut brown” Chloé suit
For the 2024 presidential elections, the US vice president presented herself at the Democratic National Convention on Day 1, flaunting a double-breasted “coconut brown” Chloé suit. The attire graced the formal occasion due to its form and color, but the double-breasted buttoned collar and the premium artistry behind the suit made her stand out. It highlighted her position in power and enthusiasm, along with her delivering a speech.
4) Donald Trump’s Orange vest
Donald Trump deflected from his usual attire in pantsuits to a hilarious outfit, which he wore on purpose for the campaign at the Resch Center in Green Bay. His entry at the venue, wearing an orange vest, and speech on stage were a little bit of fun amid what he described as a very serious issue: regaining the nation from what he considers to be the worst administration in American history. With a touch of humor, this fashion statement had an aggressive tone during the 2024 presidential elections.
5) Kamala Harris in a custom Chloé dress
Kamala Harris made quite a statement at the 2024 Kenyan State Dinner in a bespoke custom Chloé gown. The creative director, Chemena Kamali, created the forest green gown.
The dress had a sophisticated cape-like draping and a gold rosette around the neckline, creating a traditional but boho look. Harris highlighted the dress with gold bracelets that matched, highlighting the modest richness of her look. In keeping with Harris’s taste for elegant yet approachable design, this ensemble pick displayed Chloé’s contemporary and sophisticated style under Kamali’s guidance.
