On Saturday night, Kamala Harris took to the stage in Wilmington, Delaware to deliver her first speech as Vice President-elect, a speech that moved the audience to tears as she stressed the importance of her victory to women and minorities everywhere.
What makes the speech even more interesting, is that Kamala expressed not only through words, but also dress.
The vice president chose to wear a white suit by Carolina Herrera for the occasion, an outfit that not only looked star but also had an important meaning.
The color white has long been held as the color that represents the struggle for women's suffrage and has been used by various activists and politicians at important moments precisely in connection with this.
Harris' decision to dress in white from head to toe is likely to be no coincidence, adding to the historic moments in the fight for women's equality.
Moreover, the designer and founder of the firm itself is also a former immigrant woman.
Herrera, who was born in Venezuela, started her company in 1980 and has managed to become one of the most popular American designers in the world.
Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, also chose a company founded by an immigrant based in America.
The first lady had a floral design by Oscar de la Renta, another well-known name in the fashion world whose roots come from the Dominican Republic, but today, his name constitutes one of the most important figures in fashion history of the United States.
